Everybody tonight from the verge we are here at Apple park.

We're in the steve jobs theater for the first time in many years to go hands on with the new M two powered Macbook Air Apple's redesigned this laptop.

The famous wedge shape is gone.

It's more of a traditional slab shape comes into fun new colors, Starlight and midnight addition to silver and space gray.

Honestly, this computer is beautiful to hold its 11 mm thin weighs £2.7. It's incredibly thin and light in the hand.

I might just be excited because we actually get to do a hands on in person for the first time in so long.

But I'm pretty sure this computer is incredibly nice to hold inside you with the M two chip which has an eight core CPU and a 10 core Gpu.

Apple says that in things like Photo shop will be 1.4 times faster than the outgoing M one Air Apples also quoting an 18 hour battery life, but that's just a video playback time so we'll have to see what its actual battery life in real world use is obviously the M one did great lasted all day.

I would expect nothing less from this M two Air ports wise.

The big edition here is that Magsafe ports on the side that lets you use both thunderbolt ports here while you're charging the computer on the other side.

You've got a headphone jack.

Love that now supports high impedance headphones.

The display is a little bit bigger at 13.6 inches, 500 bits of brightness now supports p three wide color gamut that gets you a billion colors display bezel is also a little bit reduced than before.

That's getting out to the edges because you've got a notch at the top for the camera.

The camera is 10 80 P.

Apple says it's obviously a big improvement over the outgoing air with twice the low light performance.

The outgoing air had a horrible camera so any step up here is bound to seem huge.

It looks beautiful here in the well lit steve jobs theater.

We will have to see what it actually looks like when we get a review unit.

The keyboard here is Apple's very familiar scissor key keyboard, full heights which is touch I.

D.

On the side.

Obviously Apple makes great track pads.

You're also looking at four speakers and beam forming mix inside this thing which Apple says will greatly improve videoconferencing quality.

Very hard to tell in this noisy room Full of all these people.

We'll have to test that when we get a review unit.

I gotta say my favorite update to the um to Macbook Air.

That might be the charging situation.

The base model comes with a 30 watt single ports USB C charger.

Very familiar but you can pay 20 bucks more to upgrade to either a dual USB C ports, 35 watt charger or a single port 67 watt fast charger.

That'll take you from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes.

As far as pricing, the base model is 11 99 that comes with eight gigs of RAM, 256 gigs of storage in a lonely single USB seaport, 30 watt charger.

You can step up to the 14 99 configuration that gets you 512 gigs of storage and that 35 watt dual USB C charger.

Obviously, you can also configure this thing online to your heart's desire price, it way up in the stratosphere.

But those are the two stock can fix.

That is the M two Macbook Air.

That's not the only M two computer in Apple's lineup.

The 13 inch Macbook Pro has also been updated the M two and for some bizarre reason it still has a touch bar.

I don't know why, but it does.
