15' MacBook Air M2 Review: The Obvious Thing!

The bigger MacBook Air made too much sense.

Given the extra room it would have been nice for them to add maybe at least one extra usb port for value add over the 14 inch Air (whilst still being port-short of the MacBook Pros).

In my experience, most people choose the Air because it's lightweight. The only downside used to be the limited selection of screen sizes. Now, as you've already mentioned, this could easily become the most popular laptop. Although the price gets closer to that of the Pro, I truly believe its lighter weight will be a selling point for most.

I got this for my parents. Being senior citizens, they needed a laptop that has a bigger screen and would work for their daily needs without needing too much specs.. Earlier Macbook Pro was the only one with 15inch and frankly all the specs would have been wasted...this works great for my parents and they are happy.

I actually really like the removal of the speaker grills. They dont accumulate dust and it gives a quite sleek appearance similar to the older macbooks in the mid 2010s

I think one of the biggest factors that was missed out about this in terms of price between an upgraded MBA 15 inch and MBP price is the WEIGHT! I was glad i returned my MBP to get a smaller and lighter air with lots of battery life for travel. Most of the computing I do is usually on cloud these days, so the 15 inch is something i'm really looking forward to

I remember lol'ing when my grandma showed me her new 15" Macbook Pro because she needed the bigger screen to check email. This is the right machine for 95% of people out there.

Just upgraded to this one from my early 2015 MB pro. It’s a world of difference, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience!

Just wanted to leave a notes saying I absolutely adore this atoll shot. The colours are perfect and the dynamic range through the window is outstanding. Just spectacular work and I wanted to share with you that someone notices it!

My first Mac was a 15" MBP back before they were retina and unibody, but after the titanium design. It was a freaking rockstar computer, I loved that thing, it was lightyears ahead of any windows laptop at the time (I think it was 2007). Definitely intrigued in a newer 15" form factor

5:08 kudos to editors for this stellar editing, the graphs are well done and the intro is spectacular, Marques' reviews are dope

Typing this message on the Midmight 15" one now with the upgrade 24gb ram and 2tb SSD.. love it!! Upgraded from my 2019 16" Pro

[TonyisToking]

These are now available refurbished for as low as $950 online. I feel like that would be the best option versus the M3 that just came out because the refurb models usually have upgraded RAM or Storage.

I still think the smaller Air is going to remain popular with people who travel a lot, writers who want to use it on a table at a Starbucks or similar, and people who want to use it often on an airplane. 15" is a great screen size, but 13" is a sweet spot where it's not unwieldy and is just big enough for media consumption as well. Considering the size of most tablets are 10-12", you can do quite a lot on a 13.x" screen.

Always enjoy your honest reviews of new tech! From a college student it means a lot.

You being mentioned in Apples Keynote is so amazing. You surely made it. Congrats ! 🎉

I've bought one of these for work as a daily driver. I'm hybrid, so work from home and office but am mainly desk based for 8hrs a day. Hoping this will strike the perfect balance between a useable, daily screen and that lightness that makes carrying it less cumbersome than the older 15/16" MBPs
