The redesigned MacBook Air is built around the M2 chip and is somewhat similar to the design of the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The new device has a square-off look compared to its traditional shape. The new MacBook Air comes with two Thunderbolt ports, MagSafe charging support, and a headphone jack.
MacBook Air will come in silver, and space grey along with new starlight gold and midnight blue colours. The new MacBook Air will be available from July at a starting price of USD 1,199 (about Rs 93,263). The model with an M1 chip will continue to be sold at USD 999 (about Rs 77,706).
