Apple has finally unveiled the long-awaited 15-inch MacBook Air, expanding its lineup of laptops. The new MacBook Air closely resembles the redesigned 13-inch version that Apple introduced at WWDC last year, but with a slightly larger form factor. This release marks the first time Apple has offered a laptop with a screen of this size that doesn’t belong to its “pro” lineup, which includes the MacBook Pro and the PowerBook.
As expected, the 15-inch MacBook Air is powered by the same M2 chip found in its smaller counterpart, which was unveiled a year ago. Despite its age, the M2 chip has proven to be a reliable performer in the 13-inch MacBook Air, so there are no immediate concerns about its performance in the larger model.
In terms of design, the 15-inch MacBook Air follows the same overall aesthetic as Apple’s recent laptop releases, featuring a squared-off design instead of the previous wedge shape associated with the Air. The controversial notch, housing the 1080p webcam, also makes its appearance on this model.
