These things will fly off the shelves.

Top story over at MacRumors this morning: Apple now accepting pre-orders for new MacBook Air with the new M2 chip.

Announced in June, 2022, the new updated and redesigned ‌MacBook Air‌ features the biggest design overhaul to the ‌MacBook Air‌ line since 2010, and is the first to feature the ‌M2‌ chip.

The new model features a slightly larger 13.6-inch display, a notch on the top bezel housing an upgraded 1080p camera, a uniform, flat body similar to the MacBook Pro, and new Starlight and Midnight color options.

Connectivity-wise, two USB-C ports are available on the ‌MacBook Air‌ along with a MagSafe port for charging purposes and a 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones.

The machine also includes a built-in four-speaker sound system that supports spatial audio and wide stereo. It also features a three-microphone array.

TSMC sales soar: up forty-four percent, 2Q22.

AAPL: now accepting pre-orders for new MacBook Air with the new M2 chip.

  • the M2 chip;
  • in-store availability will begin Friday, July 15, 2022
  • this is quite incredible: comes in time for college-bound and students returning to college
  • without question, for college students, the MacBook Air is "best bang for the buck" -- FanBoy #3

Who makes the M2 chip?


Small revenue stream: Apple introduces its brand-new USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable; available in three new colors to match the new MacBook Air: space grey, midnight, and starlight in addition to silver, the original color. Price: $49. Comment: folks prefer spending less than $10 for a cable, so this must have incredibly nice margins for Apple.
