Even more power may be on the horizon for the MacBook Air 2022, the most significant revamp in years.

As a result, we believe Apple’s next laptop should be called the MacBook Air 2022, but we may have to wait a little longer.

Even while the latest MacBook Air has enough of power, its appearance is looking a touch dated when compared to similar laptops from Dell and Asus, for example.

A new MacBook Air 2022 model is expected to include lower bezels, a faster Apple M2 CPU, and a wider range of colour options than the current model has. Read on to learn more about the MacBook Air 2022, which is expected to be released in 2022.

Speculation on the release date and pricing of the MacBook Air in 2022

At WWDC in June, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has speculated that the MacBook Air 2022 and a second unidentified Mac would be unveiled.

Also, according to ApplePro, there might be a new MacBook Air and Mac mini unveiled at WWDC in June, although nothing has been confirmed at this time

The MacBook Air’s current starting price is $999. We’d expect Apple to adhere to this price strategy in order to remain competitive with Windows laptops. “

However, like with many Apple products, the price will rise if more RAM and storage are added.

Design of the MacBook Air in the year 2022

Because the expected next-generation MacBook Air 2022 is believed to receive a revamp, you should wait for that model instead of 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. However, as shown on the MacBook Pro 2021 and mentioned in a render by Jon Prosser, this might also entail a notch in the display’s top for the camera.

Apple’s latest computer-aided design (CAD) renderings, however, reveal that the MacBook Air 2022 will not have a display notch. It’s possible that this is excellent news for those who are strongly opposed to notch. Even if the next MacBook Air doesn’t have super-slim bezels, this doesn’t mean there won’t be any bezel-slimming at all, simply that it could not be as important as the ones on the current MacBook Pro models.

A mini-LED display, like the iPad Pro 2021 and the new MacBook Pros, is expected to improve both brightness and colour accuracy on the screen. Although this is disputed by Ming-Chi Kuo, who says the laptop may arrive in a new form factor without mini-LED.

Colors other than Space Gray and Silver are likely to be added to Apple’s lineup. The iMac 2021’s pastel colours have inspired off-white and other colours that have been tipped.

Neither the keyboard nor the trackpad have been upgraded. However, the Force Touch trackpad is one of the finest on the market, and typing on MacBooks has dramatically improved since Apple switched from the Butterfly keyboard mechanism to a scissor key mechanism.

We now have another glimpse at what a revised entry-level MacBook may look like, according to a fresh set of renderings based on reports. You can see the new Alpine Green colour from the iPhone 13 on a beautiful entry-level MacBook with a variety of colour choices.

“I’m virtually extremely positive I have a near 100% exact picture as to how the next MacBook Air will look like,” said ZoneofTech, the source of the photographs.

MacBook Air 2022 MagSafe and USB ports

MagSafe charging was a distinguishing feature for long-time MacBook aficionados, one that set Apple apart from PCs. Because of fire safety issues and USB Type-C, Apple decided to eliminate MagSafe from its products.

As a result, MagSafe is expected to be included in the next generation of MacBook Airs. In addition, the speculations thus far have indicated that it will be returning to the next-generation Air.

Kuo’s claim that Apple would introduce a new form factor would support speculations that Apple is making these modifications. However, he did not comment on the design of the next laptop, leaving us with little more than guesswork.

Despite the fact that the new MacBook Pros also include an SD card reader and HDMI connector, a detailed leak suggests that the MacBook Air might just have USB-C connections. Because USB-C allows for increased connection, this wouldn’t be a big concern, but those who need additional ports may have to accept the dongle lifestyle altogether.

Specs for the 2022 MacBook Air

There was a lot of buzz about the Apple M1 chip, a piece of silicon created in-house by Cupertino. It had a long battery life and a high level of performance.

An Apple M2 processor is rumoured for usage in the next MacBook Air. A 4-nanometer process node has been rumoured for the Apple M2, which is believed to prioritise efficiency over raw performance in comparison to the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors already on the market.

At least nine new Macs with four distinct M2 configurations are being tested by Apple, according to Bloomberg. For a total of 10 graphics cores, the M2 processor is said to have the same eight CPU cores as the M1.

Storage and RAM are anticipated to start at the same levels as the current Air, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD space being the minimum requirements for the new model. While 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage aren’t quite out of the question for the MacBook Air 2022, we wouldn’t rule it out either.

Outlook for the MacBook Air in 2022

It’s hard to argue with the fact that the latest MacBook Air is a step in the right direction. That’s also what the speculation about the MacBook Air 2022 suggests.

After all, if we get a sharper display, with less bezels as well as an updated processor and MagSafe charging, the new MacBook Air may have some real appeal. This is particularly relevant in light of the fact that the new MacBook Pros will be much more expensive.
