A redesign for the famously thin MacBook Air is finally here. But is this new laptop worth the upgrade?
The original MacBook Air was a shock to the laptop market when it was pulled out of a manila envelope.
Theatrics aside, the little machine was fairly capable for its size. As a filmmaker who did his own editing and dabbled in VFX, I used a 2012 MacBook Air for writing screenplays, grad school work, Final Cut Pro X, and Blender. That little guy took everything I threw at him, and when I got tired, all he said was, “I didn’t hear no bell.”
I even spilled coffee on him once, and he only got faster. (This is a joke. But I did spill coffee on him. He was fine and didn’t need any repairs.)
This new update feels like an end of an era, but also the beginning of a new one. So let’s see if the new MacBook Air with the M2 chip is worthy of your hard-earned dollars.
