With the arrival of the new year, according to Apple's previous schedule, Apple's spring conference will be held in March or April. According to Apple's updated product line, this year's spring conference is very likely to update MacBook, AirPods Pro and other products. Judging from the current information, MacBook Air will be released at this conference, and the specific information can be followed by the author to see.
It is understood that the MacBook Air will be equipped with a new M2 chip, compared to today's M1 chip, there will be multiple configuration updates, such as: media engine and neural engine, is bound to bring better performance experience. However, according to Apple's usual practice, the M2 chip is still expected to be inferior to the newly released M1 Pro and M1 Max. After all, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are two different series, with differences in positioning and price.
In a set of renderings that have been revealed in the latest release, the MacBook Air will use a thinner, lighter body, and adopt the same "colorful" strategy as the 24-inch iMac. In terms of port configuration, the MacBook Air may have two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a MagSafe connector for charging. As for the screen, it is expected to be equipped with a 13.3-inch mini LED display, and the criticized bangs camera will also be equipped on the MacBook Air screen.
The author believes that the MacBook Air is mainly light and thin office, and it will naturally not be very competitive in performance. However, from the rendering, this year's color scheme will be richer and more fashionable, but it is still adhering to the same simple concept as always. In terms of screen, the possibility of equipping a mini LED display is actually not large, in order to distinguish it from the MacBook Pro, in addition to the chip, the screen is also a major feature, otherwise it will not be able to hold back on the price, counterproductive. As for the game, it is not suitable and there will be compatibility issues. Of course, users who believe in the pursuit of games will basically not buy Apple's notebooks.
