MacBook Air M2 finally available sooner than expected

A week ago, we reported from a source from our colleagues at MacRumors that the new MacBook Air M2 will be available starting Friday, July 15, with online pre-orders starting Friday, July 8. However, another leak hinted that it might finally be available a little earlier.

As a matter of fact, in the new video we could test about the ROG Phone 6 Pro, youtubeur MKBHD unfortunately showed his entire schedule for the month of Julyand with it the dates we can expect the MacBook Air M2.

MacBook Air M2 could be up for pre-order tomorrow

According to MKBHD’s schedule, a briefing on the upcoming MacBook Air M2 is scheduled for tomorrow, July 7, 2022. Embargoed computer release date July 14, 2022. That’s why the MacBook Air M2 is likely to finally hit the market the day before. However, it is possible that these events only concern the press and therefore the first dates mentioned are correct for all users.

Anyway, it took more than a month for Apple to make its first laptop with the M2 chip available. As a reminder, Apple had to extend delivery times due to the COVID-19 outbreak, It paralyzed its factories in China. Chaos gripped an Apple factory in Shanghai as workers protested and even tried to flee the factory to return home. These protest moves have greatly affected production rates, and in particular the production rates of the MacBook Pro M2, which is expected to be released at a later date.

The MacBook Air M2 seems more affordable to most users, even though its price has been increased. The basic version will be marketed at 1499 euros An 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 8GB of combined memory and 256GB of SSD storage will cost 1849 euros for an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB of combined memory and 256GB of SSD storage for 512GB.
