The 2022 MacBook Air is a productivity workhorse with Apple’s M2 chip, a powerfully performing processor that allows for super responsive operation. Its ultrathin, lightweight design makes it excellent for travel, and it claims to offer 18 hours of battery life on a single charge. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display promises vibrant and crisp visuals for all your video meetings and more.
Promising review: “I’ve long been a PC user, built my own pretty decent gaming rig a few years ago. I recently enrolled in school and decided I needed something portable. After reading reviews, I decided that this was the way to go.
I’ve used Windows my entire life and never really gave the idea of MacOS a thought, but I absolutely love it. It has some similarities to Linux, which I’ve used in the past. It syncs flawlessly to other Apple products (I already had the iPhone and AirPods,) which is really cool. I love using Messenger on my computer, a feature I never knew I needed.
As for the hardware, it’s solid. The unit itself is very light, but still feels incredibly sturdy. My main complaint is how easily the surface smudges — a minor issue. I just got a clear clamshell case for mine and it looks good without smudging. I don’t use the camera much but I did play around with it for a little bit and it looks great. The keyboard is pretty much silent and the touchpad is nice, took a little getting used to coming from Windows but I figured it out after a few hours of use. The thumbprint touch pad works great and is super convenient. The display is gorgeous, incredibly rich colors and great contrast.
Overall, a great purchase. I was a little scared to go all-in and jump into MacOS, but I don’ t have any regrets at all. I’d even consider getting an iMac now. Super impressed with the hardware, software and everything else on this machine. Highly recommend, even at MSRP.” —Jerm
