Apple made the announcement that the Apple MacBook Air with the M2 chipset is now available in India. Earlier today, the laptop’s availability was made public in the United States. The new MacBook Air was introduced earlier this year at WWDC 22. Along with the 13-inch MacBook Pro, Apple unveiled the new MacBook Air featuring a new M2 chip. Unlike the new MacBook Pro 13-inch, the Air M2 received significant advancements over its predecessor.
The Air M2 features an entirely new design. Apple also updated the webcam and added a new charging port to the laptop. Let’s have a look at the pricing of the device in India, specifications, and other facts.
The brand-new MacBook Air M2 from Apple is now formally offered for sale in India. The cost of the new MacBook Air is Rs. 1,19,900. Students, professors, and university employees can purchase the M2 Air for a starting price of Rs. 1,09,900 under the education program.
There are several RAM and storage combinations available for the MacBook Air. Its base model comes with a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Upgrading options for RAM and storage are 16GB and 2TB, respectively.
The device comes in two GPU options- an 8-core + 8-core GPU model or an 8-core + 10-core GPU model. The 10-core GPU variant with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD would set you back Rs 1,49,900. The top-spec variant with 24GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD will set you back Rs 2,49,900.
A new 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with 2560×1664 PPI and 500 nits of peak brightness is featured on the M2 Air. The 1080p webcam has a large notch at the top. The M2 chipset makes the laptop’s CPU quicker by 18% and the GPU potent by 35%.

A 30W converter will be included with the base model from Apple. 35W dual-Type-C adapters will be included with the 10-core 512GB configuration. A 67W rapid charging adaptor is an upgrade option available to customers.
