At its recent WWDC 2023 event, Apple surprised everyone by launching a 15-inch variant of the most popular MacBook model, the MacBook Air. Apple has always marketed the MacBook Air as an ultra-portable lightweight machine. Hence, it has always featured a rather compact display. But when it comes to buying MacBooks, consumers want to explore more options. Well, Apple now has more options for you on the table than ever before.
Apple MacBook Air 15: A perfect balance
In the current Apple MacBook lineup, people either have to settle for a 13-inch MacBook Air or bump up their budget and go for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. This limited the options as there were people who were looking for something affordable like an Air but also wanted a bigger screen. With the MacBook Air 15 launch, Apple has finally solved that.
MacBook Air has always been one of the most popular laptops in the market. It is due to the fact that it is an entry-level laptop from Apple that brings you the macOS experience at an attainable cost. It has always been a great pick for students, writers, bloggers, and many others. With more and more work now being dependent on the internet, people have been wanting to work on bigger screens.
The all-new MacBook Air 15 is still based on the same platform as the MacBook Air 13.6-inch but just gets a bigger 15.3-inch screen.
Apple MacBook Air 15 Technical Specifications
As mentioned above, the all-new MacBook Air is based on the same platform as the 13-inch M2 Air. This means you can get the 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chipset. The chipset comes with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. It also gets a 16-core Neural Engine. You can pair this chip with up to 24GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage.
