When it comes to connectivity, Andreas likes the fact that in addition to the two Thunderbolt 4 ports, Magsafe port also serves as a charging connector again. Thanks to the compact size, which is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and the noticeably low weight of 1.24 kg, he could easily take the Air with him everywhere. The build quality of the Air, which has received a redesign with the M2 processor, was well-designed and detailed for Andreas. He fears that the passive cooling system could become a problem, especially in the hot summertime. This made the case noticeably warm for Andreas during demanding workloads. The cooling of the Air is purely passive. He found the 13.6'' Liquid Retina display pleasant to look at thanks to its brightness of 500 nits and high contrast due to the large color space (P3). He was very satisfied with the screen quality. Even with high screen brightness and video consumption, the Air's battery lasted quite a while.
Our first tester, Andreas, was impressed by the battery life.
