With the arrival of the new MacBook Air 2022 M2, the old model, the MacBook Air M1, saw its price increase by 70 euros to now be displayed at 1199 euros. Nevertheless, it remains the brand’s most accessible laptop in the current catalog. And even in the face of its successor, it remains a good investment to make if you want to take advantage of MacOS, especially since it is again at less than 1000 euros thanks to this offer for Cdiscount customers.

The most affordable MacBook

On the 2020 vintage of the MacBook Air, the design remains unchanged. It retains exemplary finishes, with a sober and elegant aesthetic. We are entitled to an aluminum chassis, as well as a backlit keyboard with the Magic Keyboard – more pleasant to use than the butterfly keyboard. If the new MacBook Air 2022 offers a 20% more compact design and loses a few grams, the 2020 model is also easy to transport with its 13-inch diagonal and its light weight of 1.29 kilos. You can also count on the presence of Touch ID to unlock the device with one finger.

On the front, there is a 13-inch Retina True Tone screen, compatible with a very wide color gamut (P3). Creatives will particularly appreciate this screen for indulging in video editing or photo processing, even if the most demanding will still prefer to turn to a more powerful MacBook Pro.

A flea that still has some in its belly

If Apple has now switched to the M2 chip which should again undermine Intel, the one proposed in 2020, the M1 chip based on an ARM architecture, is still defending itself very well. With this ultrabook, office tasks will run smoothly, as well as more creative and professional tasks such as video or photo editing. All this, in absolute silence, because this model has no fan, and will therefore be less noisy than in the past. By way of comparison, against Intel, processor performance is up to 3.5 times better, and graphics performance is up to 5 times faster.

To run all this, users of the MacBook Air M1 can count on great endurance, since autonomy has been considerably increased: the Cupertino company indicates a 50% increase compared to the previous generation. You can, in theory, hold a day’s work without falling stranded. Note that this MacBook Air has a 256 GB SSD, which is advertised as twice as fast as the previous generation, and 8 GB of RAM to complete the package.
