Apple MacBook Air “M2″ 8 CPU/10 GPU 13” Specs

The Apple MacBook Air “M2” 8-Core CPU/10-Core GPU 13-Inch (2022) model features a 5-nm 3.49 GHz Apple M2 processor with 8 cores (4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and a default 8 GB of onboard RAM and 512 GB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD could be upgraded at the time of initial system purchase, but not subsequently.

This all is tucked in a uniformly thin aluminum case with an integrated 1080p “FaceTime HD” webcam, a four-speaker sound system, Touch ID, a backlit “Magic Keyboard”, a large “Force Touch” trackpad, and a high-resolution 13.6″ LED-backlit 2560×1664 (224 ppi, 500 nits) “Liquid Retina” display with Wide color (P3) and True Tone technology.

The aluminum case is available in four color options — dark blue “Midnight” (pictured, left), a warm gray “Starlight”, a darker “Space Gray”, and classic silver. It weighs 2.7 pounds (1.24 kg). Apple estimates battery life at 15-18 hours depending on the task performed. By default, it shipped with a MagSafe 3-equipped 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter, but it could be configured with a fast charge 67W USB-C Power Adapter at no extra cost.

Connectivity includes 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, two Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Compared to its predecessor, the “2022, M2” MacBook Air models are lighter and uniformly thin (rather than wedge shaped) but also have a significantly different internal architecture.
