Apple MacBook Air M2 (15-Inch, 2023)

Superb battery life ; Silent operation as no fan cooling ; Apple's M2 is a real powerhouse when needed ; Thin and light despite 15.3-inch screen – so still portable

That divisive screen notch ; MagSafe charger cable tangles up ; Do you really need a 15-inch MacBook Air?

Big screen ; Slimline design ; Surprisingly good price

Same internal specs as a 13-inch model ; Less portable than 13-inch model

The Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2023) is essentially just a larger MacBook Air 13-inch – and that's both a good and bad thing. It has a stunning design, a brilliant screen, and possibly the best speaker setup you'll find in a laptop. However, the bump...

No Face ID ; Notch could be annoying ; Bezels could be slimmer

The MacBook Air 15-inch is a truly superb everyday laptop, with a solid and premium build quality, a stunning big display, excellent performance and a great battery life. There's nothing not to love here. It's the everyday laptop dreams were made of.

Bigger, brighter display. Slim and lightweight. Large trackpad. The six-speaker system sounds excellent. 1080p webcam. Great performance for everyday tasks. Nice battery life.

Expensive. Lacks ports. Can't support more than one external display.

neither Thunderbolt 4 nor Wi-Fi 6 with 160 MHz; only one external display possible ;PCIe 3.0 SSD only ;power supply too weak ;significant power reduction at high load ;high entry price and expensive upgrades

The new MacBook Air 15 is a very good, but also boring device, because apart from the larger screen and the higher price, there are no differences compared to the smaller

Beautiful, big screen ; Extremely light and thin ; Impressive performance ; Great speakers

Expensive ; Lack of ports ; No in-built fan means it can run hot

The new 15-inch MacBook Air offers the incredible performance of the 13-inch model in a larger body. With the ultra-fast M2 chip and a bigger, beautiful display, it could be the perfect option for creatives.
