The trackpad on the M2 Air also got slightly wider than that of the M1 Airs, and it has a different haptic click. It has the same round, recessed sensor as the larger 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros. I notice the larger top row of keys most when I am going to use the Touch-ID sensor. The main improvement with the M2’s keyboard is that the function row, which had been half-height keys, is now full height keys. The M2 Air’s keyboard has a slightly different feel to me than the M1 Air’s keyboard, but the change isn’t significant, and I can’t say that I have a preference one way or the other. On the M2, the returned MagSafe port opens up one of the Thunderbolt ports whenever you’re charging. Otherwise, the laptops each have two USB-C ThunderBolt ports on the left side. In addition, the 3.5mm headphone jack was updated to have improved support for high-impedance headphones. This is the most straight-forward comparison – the M2 bring the return of MagSafe to the MacBook Air. The curved wedge shape of the M1 MacBook Air made it really simple to lift up on the front edge, while the front is a bit too flat for me to easily get my fingers under with the M2 Air. I like the design, with my only complaint being that I find it a bit harder to pick up than the M1 Air. Taking strong cues from the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, the M2 Air has moved to a squared-off design from the previous wedge-shape – it’s a bit thinner at its thickest location than the M1 Air. This time around, the MacBook Air got an all-new design.
