SO, 8 months ago when the rumors of new M2 MacBook first start to come out, people were convinced that this was going to be the machine that people buy and use it as their regular machine(including me), I was so certain that people would be new M2 MacBook users because new M2 chip, new form factor, really nice design aesthetics on those leaks, but after reviewing it on multiple YouTube channels and tech guides, I came to conclusion that it’s a really good machine but not what I had expected. Now I am going to talk about the new Midnight Blue color, it’s like a dark blue finish I like the look of it and it comes with braided Magsafe cable that is color matched.

So this is a very nice looking machine, it’s got the design aesthetic of the bigger 14 and 16 inch devices but it’s thinner and lighter and it comes in this wicked blue color, this is(if I am not mistaken) the first MacBook that Apple has made that has had a dark metal finish like we’ve seen dark plastic MacBooks but never something as dark as this, I like the look of it but the fingerprints are everywhere like you just touch it for little bit and just smudges and fingerprints just start appearing, it’s not uncommon with dark colored laptops like the Razerblades get covered like this as well but if you’re sensitive to this stuff, go for a lighter color or get a skin to go over it on the top.

There are two USB C ports on the left these support thunderbolt 4 but it still only supports one display out, there’s also Magsafe connection on that side and then on the right you have the high impedance headphone jack.

Now on the bottom of the new MacBook Air the feet look a little bit different, these are kind of in the style of the new 14 and 16 inches MacBook Pros, one thing I like about the bottom is that it is flat while the other MacBook had a taper to it.
