Apple’s redesigned MacBook Air with the company’s latest M2 chip is set to go on sale on July 15, according to information from MacRumors.
The report went on to say that Apple’s updated laptop is expected to be available for pre-order on July 8, a week before it hits stores.
The tech giant unveiled the M2 MacBook Air at its Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, but only said at the time that the machine would be available sometime in July.
To be clear, the July 15 date has not been publicly announced by Apple. However, the Mac news site seems confident about the reliability of its source within the company’s retail division.
With a new ultra-slim design that ditches the Air’s signature wedge, an updated chip, a slightly larger 13.6-inch display, and a striking new Midnight color, Apple expects strong demand for the new laptop.
However, some might have been put off by the cost.
It’s fair to say that most potential buyers were hoping Apple would keep the attractive $999 price tag of the previous (and still available) M1 Air released in 2020, but frustratingly, the company has decided not to Cost of the most basic version of the M1 Air to increase new M2 model by $ 200, the price is $ 1,199.
For some, that’s a deal breaker. The disappointing price hike even prompted one of DT’s writers to opt for a more-than-performing, refurbished M1 MacBook Air, saving around $430 in the process.
While the M2 Air does look like a fabulous kit, the all-new design means interested customers may be waiting for the hands-on reviews to drop before making a final decision.
