The MacBook Air 2022 is expected to include the most significant overhaul in years, as well as more power.
The present MacBook Air’s design is beginning to appear dated in comparison to the sleek and light laptops from Dell and Asus, thus rumours of a new MacBook Air 2022 are timely. Both in terms of aesthetics and processing power, there is much to be desired.
This year’s MacBook Air 2022 leaks suggest a slimmer form, an Apple M2 processor, and several new colour options. Read on to learn more about the MacBook Air 2022, which is expected to be released in 2022.
Release of the MacBook Air in 2022 is a distinct possibility.
If 9to5Mac is correct, the MacBook Air 2022 will be released this year and include the M2 processor.
The new MacBook Air and second-generation Apple silicon were nowhere to be seen at the recent Peek Performance Apple presentation.
As it’s been a while since the laptop has had an update, much alone a makeover, we’re cautiously hopeful.
Predicted pricing of the MacBook Air in 2022
The MacBook Air is now the cheapest option to buy a MacBook, starting at $999. In order to compete with Windows laptops, we anticipate Apple will mostly maintain that cost.
If with many Apple products, the price will rise as more RAM and storage are added.
To avoid disappointment, you should wait for the predicted next-generation MacBook Air in 2022 instead of purchasing the MacBook Air with M1.
The upcoming MacBook Air is likely to have thinner bezels, which is one of the five improvements we’d want to see. But it might also signify a camera notch at the top of the display, as shown on the MacBook Pro 2021 and in a rendering by Jon Proser.
More recent images, based on what seems to be Apple-developed computer-aided design (CAD) drawings, reveal that the display notch will be absent from the MacBook Air 2022. If you don’t like the notch, this may be excellent news. There’s a chance, though, that the next MacBook Air won’t have the advantage of ultra-thin bezels, but this doesn’t imply there won’t be any bezel-slimming at all.
Mini-LED displays like those seen on the iPad Pro 2021 and the next new MacBooks are expected to improve both the brightness and colour accuracy of the screen. Although this is disputed by Ming-Chi Kuo, who says the laptop may arrive in a new form factor without mini-LED.
Apple is likely to expand its colour palette beyond Space Gray and Silver in the near future. Colors influenced by the iMac 2021’s pastel palette include off-white and a variety of variations on that colour scheme.
Upgrades to the keyboard and trackpad are still a mystery. Force Touch trackpads are excellent, and Apple’s switch to a scissor keyboard mechanism has made typing on MacBooks a lot more comfortable.
MagSafe and ports for MacBook Air 2022
MagSafe charging was seen by many longstanding MacBook users as a distinguishing feature, one that set Apple apart from other PC manufacturers. Because to fire safety issues and the shift to USB Type-C, Apple had to eliminate MagSafe.
As a result, MagSafe is expected to be included in the next generation of MacBook Airs. Rumors thus far have indicated that it will be included in the next-generation Air.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo’s forecast of a new form factor, some of these modifications may be coming. However, he did not comment on the design of the future laptop, leaving us with just guesswork.
Additionally, a detailed report indicates the MacBook Air may only have USB-C connectors, while the new MacBook Pros include both an SD card reader and an HDMI port. Even though USB-C provides a higher level of connection, those who want additional ports may have to accept the dongle life.
Specs for the 2022 MacBook Air
The Apple M1 processor, a piece of silicon built in-house by Cupertino’s engineers, made waves with the new MacBook Air. In spite of the fact that it operates on ARM’s RISC architecture rather than Intel’s x86 architecture, the chip performed well.
Apple’s M2 processor is expected to be used in the MacBook Air. Rumored to be built on a 4-nanometer technology node, the Apple M2 is supposed to be more efficient than its predecessors’ M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs.
New MacBook Air processor called “Ibiza,” according to The Information, might be based on Apple’s 3-nanometer manufacturing process.
Ming-Chi Kuo, on the other hand, asserts that the laptop will have the original M1 chip. Even if the M1 Macbook Air is already out there.
With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage, the new Air is expected to have the same amount of RAM and storage as the current model. However, we wouldn’t be shocked if the MacBook Air 2022 came with up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM.
A glimpse at the MacBook Air in 2022
Even though the current MacBook Air is excellent, a refresh is overdue. According to the reports, the MacBook Air 2022 will have a similar design.
I think the next MacBook Air might have a lot of appeal with a sharper display and smaller bezels, as well as an improved processor and MagSafe charging. Even more so since it’s expected to be much less expensive than the new MacBook Pros.
