Pricing on the new MacBook Air starts at $1199 for an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, with a 10-core GPU option available for $1499.
Apple today also refreshed the 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 chip, and pricing starts at $1299. There are no design updates for the 13-inch model, and it continues to be the only Mac notebook with a Touch Bar.
