That efficiency also allowed Apple the freedom to do away with a fan within, resulting in a lightweight and most importantly, silent laptop that won’t whir incessantly when you’re trying to think. Because the M2 is so efficient, Apple was able to integrate all its other components so efficiently that it shaved 20 percent off of its previous volume. The new MacBook Air was redesigned to be as slim as possible from every angle, measuring at only 11.3mm thin and weighing only 1.2kg despite its solid all-aluminium body. We’re not fat-shaming other laptops, but thinner is always better when it comes to a portable device you’ll be traversing the world – much less the island – with. Those using Final Cut Pro will also find that performance is almost 40 percent faster than the previous generation’s, and up to 15 times faster for those who still haven’t converted to Apple’s silicon chip. In layman’s terms, the laptop can now handle larger and more complex workloads with ease, such as hardcore video editing.Īmateur and pro filmmakers will also appreciate the M2’s re-designed media engine and powerful ProRes video engine within, which allows the play back of more streams of 4K and 8K video than before. You’ll get 100GB/s of unified memory bandwidth and up to 24GB of fast unified memory here. Take for example the upgraded eight-core CPU, which has now been paired to a next-gen GPU that has up to 10 cores - two more than the M1.
