These display differences are a significant reason why the new MacBook Pros start at $2,000 and the new MacBook Air starts at just $1,200.
You can configure the MacBook Air to use a display resolution that doesn’t use scaling, but that makes less content fit on screen. The practical effect of this pixels-per-inch difference is that the default display resolution of the MacBook Pros is exactly 2× on the Air, the default resolution uses scaling.

The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro displays have a resolution of 254 pixels per inch the MacBook Air’s display has a resolution of only 224 pixels per inch. Unlike the new MacBook Pros, there’s no HDR and no ProMotion (dynamic high refresh up to 120 Hz). I’ve got 26 apps running on this MacBook Air right now, and not one of them has too many menus to fit on the left of the notch. It’s a little bit weird when you use an app that has so many menus that one or more of them fall on the far side of the notch, but I don’t regularly use any apps with that many menus. But, as someone who’s been using a notched 14-inch MacBook Pro for months, trust me, you stop thinking about it after a few days. The camera is fine for a built-in laptop camera. It’s certainly not hard to pick up - and once in hand, it feels great. If there’s a downside to the new, untapered form factor, it’s that it makes these new MacBooks perhaps a bit harder to pick up from a table or desk using just one hand - without the tapering, it’s a bit harder to get one’s fingers underneath to lift it. This new design is more honest and feels great in hand. It made Intel MacBooks (and the first round of M1 MacBooks, which shared the same industrial designs) look thinner than they actually were or felt. That tapering had a slimming effect, but that effect was basically an optical trick.
This has nothing to do with the previous MacBook Air models’ iconic wedge-shaped form, but instead is about the lack of subtle tapering on the new MacBook Air. With the case closed, holding it, it is obviously thinner than the previous retina MacBook Airs. With its flat, untapered top and bottom surfaces, the whole MacBook Air looks and feels like the thinner sibling to those new MacBook Pros. They both look and feel identical - or nearly so - to the keyboard and trackpad on the 2021 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. All while getting the same battery life and bringing MagSafe back, which effectively gives you an extra USB-C/Thunderbolt port while charging. It’s thinner, lighter, faster, and has a better brighter display and better speakers. The new M2 MacBook Air is clearly better in every regard. The 2020 M1 MacBook Air was (and remains) a great laptop. That they run very fast, very cool, and very efficiently.
With Apple silicon Macs, many people are hesitant to believe something they want to be true - that these computers are as good as they are. Denial is often about refusing to believe something you don’t want to be true. I was right, but perhaps denial was the wrong word. Some people will remain in denial about what Apple hasĪccomplished here for years. Longstanding assumptions about how computers should be designed,Ībout what makes a better computer better, about what good ToĪcknowledge how good they are - and I am here to tell you theyĪre astonishingly good - you must acknowledge that certain When I reviewed one of the first M1 Macs - a 13-inch MacBook Pro - back in November 2020, I wrote:Īpple’s new Macs based on the M1 system on a chip, the first Macsīased on Apple silicon, are that sort of mind-bending better. But it still seems hard for us, collectively, to wrap our heads around the sea change these chips have enabled. The M2 MacBook Air marks the second generation of Apple silicon Macs. The 2022 13-Inch MacBook Air Friday, 15 July 2022 Good support, good documentation, and a clever focused idea done well.

What do you do now when you hear about a new TV show, movie, book, or podcast you want to check out? You probably just throw it in your notes or to-do app with a zillion other types of things. Sofa is a “productivity” app but it’s about being productive, and intentional, with your downtime. My thanks to Sofa for sponsoring this week at DF.
