It will be delivered to customers starting July 15. The redesigned model is strikingly thin and features a 13.6-inch display, up to 24GB of RAM, and new Apple M2 chipset.
Why does this story matter?
Apple's much-anticipated MacBook Air (2022) fueled by the powerful M2 chip is finally ready to go on sale. It was announced alongside the MacBook Pro 13.

As it is a consumer-focused device, Apple may face challenges in meeting the demand given the global supply-chain constraints.
