No longer does Apple’s entry-level MacBook make its subjects look like the living dead. Images are more detailed and deliver more accurate contrast. Webcam: The MacBook Air M2’s 1080p FaceTime webcam is not going to blow you away, but it won’t make you miserable like the MacBook Air family’s low-res cams of old, either.Throw in support for Apple’s Spatial Audio standard and a 3.5mm headphone jack and it’s hard to have any real grumbles. While not a patch on the MacBook Pro’s six-speaker array, it’ll easily suffice for binge-watching your favorite shows. Somehow, it works, and works very well, with rich lows and mids, though it does lack on the bass front when pushed to higher volumes. Instead, the M2 MacBook Air has a dual-tweeter and dual-woofer arrangement pointing up at and along the screen, hidden from view adjacent to the hinges. Audio: Appearances are certainly deceiving with the MacBook Air M2’s audio setup, which jettisons the traditional keyboard-flanking, upward-facing speakers found on other MacBooks.
If you’ve ever cast your eyes over an XDR MacBook Pro screen or even a mini-LED-equipped iPad Pro - both of which deliver smoother 120Hz refresh rates - this might be a sore point, but that doesn’t mean the MacBook Air M2’s display isn’t sharp, color accurate, or generally a joy to use. Despite a minor drop in pixels-per-inch (227 on the M1 Air to 224) that’s imperceptible to the naked eye, the MacBook Air M2’s brighter panel, combined with excellent viewing angles, is far more suited to use outside or in strongly-lit environments. In fact, it’s a modest step up from the MacBook Air M1’s display, with the newer generation increasing the maximum brightness to 500 nits (was 400 nits) and boosting the number of colors it supports from the millions to one billion. Instead, we’re looking at an IPS “Liquid Retina” panel here with a capped 60Hz refresh rate.
A similar mantra is true of the display if you’ve got a hankering for some mini-LED, “ProMotion” goodness.
