The MacRumors Buyer's Guide currently says that buying a 2020 MacBook Air right now requires "Caution" because an upgraded model has been rumored for 2022.
However, after reading the "round-up" on the rumored upgrades, I do not actually see what the big deal is.
- aesthetic changes ; who cares?
- mini LED screen ; whats wrong with the current screens on the MBA?
- M2 CPU ; the M1 is already plenty fast, battery life is already plenty long
- magsafe? Is it getting this? That would be nice but not a deal breaker
This rumored update seems like a big old nothingburger to me. Why even bother waiting for this? My current MB is dying so I ordered the 2020 MBA anyway but I keep looking at all these 2022 updates and do not understand what the hype is about or why I should have waited for it.
Also, release date? "Maybe late Q2 2022, or Q3-Q4 2022"; so basically no one knows if it will come out in 3 months or in 10 months?
