MacBook Air M2 (2022) marks Apple's first consumer laptop on M2 silicon — fanless, up to 18h battery, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, unified memory architecture. 256GB/8GB config is entry-level: fast for everyday tasks, video calls, light creative work, but 8GB RAM shows limits with heavy browser tabs + Pro apps simultaneously, and 256GB fills fast. Midnight colorway hides fingerprints poorly — known cosmetic issue. On eBay DE, used M2 Airs trade between €600–€850 depending on condition and AppleCare status. Refurbished units from Händler with "sehr gut" grading typically €680–€750. New-old-stock occasionally surfaces near €900. Main competitors at price point: refurbished M1 Air (cheaper, still excellent) and base M3 Air (newer, slightly faster, better thermals). Target buyers: students, remote workers, light creatives moving from Intel Mac or Windows. Not for: video editors working with 4K/8K, developers running heavy VMs, ML workloads.
