The new M2 MacBook Air is thin, light, has hours of battery life, and costs just a few hundred dollars more than the iPhone. And that’s because it’s kind of a big iPhone, which is exactly the computer we’ve been waiting for all these years.
"I think the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M1 Pro and Max were the very first real laptops of the mobile era. The new MacBook Air is a product of that evolution that follows Apple's new vision: unifying the design with the Pro line, which in turn is aligned with the designs of the iPhone and iPad," Serhii Popov, software engineer at Setapp by MacPaw, told Lifewire via email.

Last year's MacBook Pro showed us what the future of the portable Mac looked like , but now that future is here, with the M2 MacBook Air.
