The 15-inch MacBook Air might have a small target demographic, but it's nearly the perfect laptop for them.
MacBook Air 15-inch MSRP $1,299.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “If you've always want a larger MacBook Air -- this is it, and it'll make you very happy.” Pros Cons The 15-inch MacBook Air is for exactly one type of person.
So, it’s totally the same. And yet, it feels rather different to use in practice. The difference between a 13-inch and a 15-inch laptop might sound small on paper, but remember, that’s a diagonal screen measurement. In terms of both overall dimensions and pixels, it’s a new experience. A 16:10 aspect ratio screen at a larger size makes for a dramatic increase in screen real estate, both in terms of height and width.
Performance The 15-inch MacBook Air comes with just a single processor option: the M2. This is the configuration of the M2 with 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores — the same one that you’ll find in other MacBooks, namely the 13-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro. So yes, this is the third laptop in Apple’s lineup that uses the exact same chip.
Raw performance has never been the point of the MacBook Air, though — it’s efficiency. And no surprise: the MacBook Air 15-inch is incredibly efficient. When you aren’t running all-core benchmarks or exporting timelines, the laptop stays remarkably cool to the touch. And, of course, it’s always completely silent.
The speakers are another highlight of this machine that far surpasses the Windows competition at this price — or at any price, for that matter. The speakers on the 15-inch MacBook Air really are fantastic, even taking a step up from the 13-inch. It’s astounding, especially considering how thin it is. Side by side, the 14-inch MacBook Pro does sound slightly more robust, but it really is impressive the kind of sound this laptop produces.
