In this episode, we're joined by iJustine to talk through the ‌M2‌ ‌MacBook Air‌'s most important features and upgrades, including its design, display, color options, webcam, four-speaker setup, and more. We discuss how the new machine faces up to full-time use, compare it to the M1 MacBook Air‌, and consider who it is targeted toward.

We also look at the SSD controversy associated with base model configurations of the ‌M2‌ ‌MacBook Air‌ and 13-inch MacBook Pro, and consider where the ‌MacBook Air‌ could be headed next, with rumors of a larger model with a 15.2-inch display, and M2 and M2 Pro chip options on the horizon for early 2023.
