This is Apple's freshest MacBook Air in a long time, and the best ultraportable Mac you can buy. Inside, a thinner logic board makes way for a bigger, bolder screen, and allows for a new chassis that adds useful features without adding bulk or weight.

Not only is it one of the first Macs to use Apple’s M2 chip-the vanguard of the second generation of Apple Silicon-but it also splashes out with a completely new look. That's why 2022's revision is especially noteworthy. Since the original was introduced in 2008 by Steve Jobs-who pulled it out of a manila envelope, a stunt that’s still pretty amazing, 14 years on-the Air has undergone only a few really big changes. The latest iteration of the Apple MacBook Air (starts at $1,199 $1,899 as tested) updates what may be the most iconic laptop in history.
