It is pretty clear Apple wants creators to spend on its MacBook Pro lineup, but when the M2 chip in the Air series is this good, anyone except high-end creators would be more than catered for by either size of the MacBook Air.Īpple continues to knock it out of the park with its screens. However, with a 15-inch chassis, I would think there might be space to squeeze in just one or two more ports, or even better for creators – an SD card slot. There are also only two other USB-C ports, thankfully these are the latest Thunderbolt spec so can handle offloading images to external SSDs with serious speed.

There is the new MagSafe power adapter port, which I still dislike over having a third USB-C that handles charging when needed. The port selection is also the same as the MacBook Air 13, which is to say, it's quite disappointing. The keyboard remains as Apple's absolutely heavenly to type-on scissor-switch keyboard from the Air 13, with (love it or hate it) no touch bar to be seen here, although the keyboard still inherits the fingerprint ID button in the top right-hand corner which is one of the best I have used, it is very fast and with almost no rejections. Essentially, this is the exact same laptop as the Air 13, but the corners have just been stretched out. If you have ever touched a MacBook before, then the MacBook Air 15 will be instantly familiar to you. The MacBook Air 15 doesn't break any new ground when it comes to design or build.
