It’s the ultrafast, ultracapable laptop that lets you work, play, or create just about anything anywhere. That’s really more of a price for a MacBook Pro.

The new ‘Liquid Retina’ display on the M2 Air is brighter and a little higher resolution than its predecessor, while there’s a modest jump in the webcam quality, too, to 1080p (compared to the mediocre 720p on the previous model).

The second headline change is the physical redesign, which retires the MacBook Air’s iconic ‘wedge’ shape in favour of the squarer look that the current crop of MacBook Pros have.
