It could be related to an unreleased feature or something to detect if the user has accidentally dropped the laptop. It’s unclear why Apple put one of these sensors inside a Mac. For those unfamiliar, an accelerometer is a sensor used to detect motion.

Other tidbits include a new Thunderbolt 3 driver made by Apple instead of Intel, a USI chip for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (and no ultra wideband), and… an accelerometer. That’s half the speed of the previous generation MacBooks and the more expensive models with larger internal storage. Just as with the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, this results in slower SSD performance compared to models that have two NAND chips combined.įor comparison, while the read speeds of the SSD found in the M1 MacBooks reach nearly 3GB/s, the 256GB SSD in the new M2 MacBooks barely reaches 1.5GB/s. This had already been confirmed by Apple and also by several tech reviewers, but the M2 MacBook Air comes with a single 256GB NAND chip for the SSD in its entry-level configuration. Also unsurprisingly, the components are soldered to the logic board and can’t be easily replaced. The logic board is also protected by a metal shield and, unsurprisingly, it is extremely compact – almost as if there were an iPad inside this Mac, which is kind of true since Macs and iOS devices share the same architecture now with Apple Silicon chips. Most of the logic board and battery connectors are hidden and protected, but disconnecting them is not difficult. While this results in a much more minimalist design, it doesn’t mean that this machine is any easier to repair.

Removing the bottom cover of the M2 MacBook Air just got simpler as it now has only four screws instead of ten. Now they are placed above the keyboard, hidden between the case and the display. Previously, the speakers were positioned on the left and right sides of the laptop. Through an X-ray, iFixit shows one of the main changes in this new MacBook Air: the speakers. 9to5Mac had already shared some photos showing the internal components of the M2 MacBook Air, but iFixit’s teardown revealed a few surprises. Thanks to iFixit, we’ve already had a look at what’s inside the new M2 MacBook Pro – which, unlike the MacBook Air, is basically the same model as the previous generation but with a new chip.

iFixit also got its hands on the M2 MacBook Air to show us a full teardown of what’s inside the new machine. And while some customers won’t get their hands on it for another month, those who bought it during pre-order have now received their new laptop.
