Is MacBook Air 2021 to go on sale?

According to sources, the newly redesigned MacBook Air will either go on sale in the second half of 2021 or early 2022 at the latest. The MacBook Air has always been the more affordable option when entering into the Mac family. However, while the current Air will likely continue to start at $999, the redesigned model will reportedly sit at a higher price tier.

Apart from MagSafe Charging that's reportedly being reintroduced to the entire MacBook lineup, the 2021 Air will reportedly be lighter as well. The current MacBook Air weighs in at 2.8 pounds, bit several Windows laptops weigh less, such as the 2.6-pound Dell XPS 13.

 

The MacBook Air continues to feature a chunky border around its display, a jarring inclusion considering other high-end laptops are almost bezel-less. But reports said that Apple will make the Air smaller by "shrinking the border around the screen."

For longtime MacBook fans, MagSafe charging was seen as a defining feature, one that separated Apple from PCs. Unfortunately, Apple removed MagSafe following fire safety concerns and a switch to USB Type-C.

 

Rumor is that Apple is bringing MagSafe back to its laptops, and we strongly believe it'll trickle down to the redesigned MacBook Air 2021. It's likely that users will be able to charge with both MagSafe and USB Type-C charging, just like other laptops that have proprietary charge plugs.

 

MacBook Air 2021 specs

 

Last year, Apple introduced its new M1 chip to the MacBook Air. Reviewers were stunned at the level of performance Apple's new ARM-based chip provided, especially for an ultrabook.

 

There are two potential outcomes for a 2021 MacBook Air: a slightly upgraded M1 chip or the rumored M1X. However, a recent leak has claimed that Apple has booked production of a new M2 chip, set for use its next-gen MacBooks. It's slated to use a 4-nanometer process node, which could be the upgraded version of the M1 or a completely new chipset.

 

The 2021 MacBook Air will likely feature specs similar to the 2020 model. That includes 8GB of RAM, a 256 or 512 GB SSD, a Retina display with True Tone, Magic Keyboard, Touch ID, and two USB 4.0 ports.
