Its all-aluminum enclosure is highly durable so it keeps everything safe, while there’s a MagSafe charging port, two Thunderbolt ports, and a headphone jack. Outlasting the best laptops, the MacBook Air M2 also has phenomenal battery life of up to 18 hours so you’re all good for using it throughout the day and even a little beyond, factoring in sleep.
