Apple MacBook Air -- Just In Time For College -- June 29, 2022

Apple will launch MacBook Air with M2 chip on July 15, 2022.  

Already on Apple home page.

And, yes, I'm ordering one. 

This one will be hard to get; will fly off the shelves; just in time for students starting / returning too college.

Without question, the MacBook Air, simply the best bang for the buck. Trust me on this. 

Know what I love about Apple MacBook Air? Two ports, MagSafe, and a headphone jack.

Minimalist. 

Actually, Apple should remove that headphone jack, also. Apple tried that once and received so much backlash from customers, they put it back in. No longer needed. 

USB 4: double-speed USB. That's all you need to know. 

From Apple's webpage:

MagSafe 3 charging port

3.5 mm headphone jack

Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:

  • Charging
  • DisplayPort
  • Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
  • USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
  • USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)

USB 4? Here. Three main benefits:

  • speed:
    • same speed as Thunderbolt 3
    • 40 Gbps maximum speed; achieved by using two-lane cables
  • display:
    • USB 4 can support 8K resolution
    • 8K resolution up to 80 Gpbs
  • compatible with some Thunderbolt 3 devices, such as Apple's new MacBook Air, M2
