Now we just need to get a review unit and put it to the test to see if it's worth the price hike. The Magnetic Timeline uses advanced metadata and Clip Connections for faster, easier editing.
The M1-powered model will still be available from $999, too. Final Cut Pro combines revolutionary video editing with powerful media organization and incredible performance to let you create at the speed of thought. The new Air will cost $200 more than before, starting at $1,199, and ships next month. The base model comes with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, and goes up to 24GB and 2TB, respectively. It's worth noting that the 10-core version of the new Air comes with a 35W adapter with two additional USB-C ports. The new Air can also support fast charging with a 67W adapter that Apple says can get it up to 50 percent in 30 minutes. It also gets 10 graphics cores now, compared to the eight previously, and has a slightly larger 52.6-watt-hour battery that Apple says can last up to 15 hours of web surfing.
#FINAL CUT PRO FOR MAC OS 5.1 UPGRADE#
The most significant upgrade this SoC brings is a hardware-accelerated media engine and 100GB/s memory bandwidth. Of course, one of the biggest highlights of the new MacBook Air is the M2 processor inside it.
It also didn't skimp on things like the keyboard or trackpad, and I enjoyed typing a couple of sentences on the machine, thanks to amply sized buttons with adequate depth. In spite of the added speakers and larger screen, the new MacBook Air manages to be slightly lighter than the M1 model, weighing 2.7 pounds compared to the latter's 2.8 pounds. But perhaps the reason the company wasn't able to make this happen has to do with the new four-speaker audio system, which, by the way, supports Spatial Audio when you're playing music or video with Dolby Atmos.Ī close-up shot of a MagSafe charger plugged into the new MacBook Air with M2. I'd prefer if Apple offered one USB-C per side, so it would work better with more dongles. One downside to the port arrangement on the new Air is that the MagSafe and two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports are placed on the left edge, while a solo headphone jack sits on the right. I plugged one such wire in and out of the socket on a demo unit repeatedly and can tell you it works well and feels secure when connected.
The company also made MagSafe cables that are color-matched to the four new laptop hues, in case that aesthetic is important to you. With the new MacBook Air, Apple is bringing back the MagSafe charging port - just like it did with the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros released last fall. Although I thought the notch was oddly tall, it didn't extend beyond macOS' title bar, ending just a hair before its bottom edge. My colleague Devindra Hardawar, who reviewed the MacBook Pros, did not mind it and I'm inclined to agree with him. Again, this is similar to the recent MacBook Pros and has been a polarizing feature since its introduction. I can tell you that I definitely noticed the new notch that houses the camera.
