One notable detail confirmed by The Verge is that the $1,199 base model equipped with 256GB of storage has a single NAND chip, which will lead to slower SSD speeds in benchmark testing, but real-world performance may vary. Last month, it was discovered that the 256GB model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip has up to 50% slower SSD The Air also achieves a huge jump ahead with the SSD, almost catching up with the current MacBook Pro 16 - note that this is the entry-level model with 256 GB versus the 1 TB SSD for an additional July 19, 2022.
