It happened: The MacBook Air is now available in the highly anticipated 15-inch size. It’s 15.3 inches to be exact, and Apple claims the new Retina display has 500 nits of brightness and 1 billion colors.
The bezels around the screen are 5mm thin, and there’s a 1080p camera mounted in a notch.
The 15-inch Air is 11.5mm thick and weighs just 1.496kg. Apple will offer the new machine in four colors: midnight, starlight, space gray, and silver.
The 15-inch MacBook Air packs an M2 chip, just like the 13-inch model, with an 8-core CPU (4 performance and 4 efficient cores), a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. The laptop starts with 8GB of unified memory but can be configured up to 24GB.
The M2 chip will allow the 15-inch Air to run for up to 18 hours on a charge.
If you want Apple’s usual backhanded comparisons, the new 15-inch MacBook Air is 12x faster than the “fastest Intel-based MacBook Air” and twice as fast as the “best-selling 15-inch laptop PC with a Core i7 processor.” “. .
The 15-inch MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt USB-C ports, a MagSafe charging port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The laptop packs 3 microphones and 6 speakers.
You can order the 15-inch Air today, starting at $1,299 ($1,199 for the cut). Shipping will start next week.
