I would love to see a comparison between 15 Air and 14 Pro. These are so close in price, especially with the Pro constantly on sales.

[Mad.Maxx.]

The 15” Air is impressive but weighs only 0.2 pounds less than the 14” MBP M1/M2. I still prefer my 13” M2 Air’s form factor for a thin and light road warrior laptop.

[greghudson]

Thanks for going way beyond other, “It’s the same Air but bigger” reviews out there!!

[Alt-Key_Here]

I was surprised to hear the difference of the speakers. I know the 15 inch got the extra speakers, but that much of a difference is insane.

[ArnelZapataJr]

I’ll gladly pay more for a bigger screen and better speakers for the 15 inch. Currently have an M1 MBA and I’m noticing that I need a larger screen for my workflow.

I just got the 13.6 M2 MacBook Air with 16 gigs of ram memory, and 512 SSD storage, I kept the 8 core GPU. My first laptop, and I love it. I'm used to Dell desktops, last one I had, had Windows 7 pro with 2T hard drive, cause I used to have a website and build my own web pages. I'm not that impressed with your speaker sound comparison. Yes 15 inch Air is louder, but doesn't sound that much better than the 13 inch. Best sound quality, is on the pro models. For students, the 13.6 Air is very portable. I went to Apple Store in Soho NYC to have them help me set it up. When I put it in the laptop briefcase carrying cross body, no strain on my shoulders. Taking the Mac class next week. Next time you do sound comparison, use Beach Boys Wouldn't Be Nice. One guy on here used heavy metal, was terrible to tell. Also the 15 inch Air was louder, but, sounded muffled, and gravely.

I'm happy to see the thermal throttling is less on the 15" Macbook Air and the improved rich bass on the speakers. I would definitely be curious to see how well it performs with the base M2 Pro 14" Macbook Pro (maybe throw in the 16" base to compare the size and speakers as well).

Thanks again as always for making these videos that many viewers would want to know. So many other Youtube reviewers never seem to bother going in depth with the long term sustained performance with these laptops and comparisons to other macbooks, and you guys never fail to cover them thoroughly.

Max, what I really want to see is the comparison between the 15" air and the 16"pro as it relates to photo and video editing

[shylady]

Not how I imagine the comparison would be like. I was thinking of real life usage comparison like MS word, browsing the web, spreadsheets, Google sheets etc, normal office/school tasks. Like how the majority of MacBook air users use their laptops, since the screen is the main feature of the 15 inch.. and the internals did not change much from the 13 in

[OccupiedMuffins]

I genuinely dont understand why all these tech youtubers are obsessed with comparing the 15 inch to the pro's every chance they get. Its so irritating, they arent the same things at all

[sfomann]

I am actually trying to decide between the 15" MBA and the 16" MBP. The only concern with the 16" MBP is the weight and how much it will bother me long term

[yieldtothenight]

Do you know what would be fresh? Videos of you taking both laptops on a plane or using both in an internet cafe. Showing real world situations rather than sat behind a desk like every other content creator for laptop reviews

[fuadall]

thanks for mentioning about the size difference between old 67W and new 70W power adapters 👍

[letsgoyoutube]

Thanks for your work! Awesome videos. Would love to see Air 15" comparison with the Pro 16"

[RKGHT]

Does the 15 still only allow 1 external display? Was hoping it would allow a dual monitor setup!

[alaaxeldin]

Apple Knows this device might be the best selling mac so they had to tune the cooling better to appeal to the users who need a more "pro" of a mac than the air but without the high price points of the larger sizes.

Great Video as usual, waiting for a comparison with the M1 Pro 16-inch since they have similar price range.

[robocobrabot]

I’ve been waiting for the 15” for a long time, but with the price cut on the 13” I couldn’t resist, and I’m very happy. Such a great product.

[benjamin]

Hi MaxTech! Can you guys compare the 15” MacBook Air to the 13” MacBook Pro? Preferably the 512gb SSD versions? Love your videos!

[vladcode]

Would love to see a 15 Air vs 14 Pro M2! When spec’d to 16Ram and 1TB the pro is only about $270 more. Is that worth for the 120hz display pro motion and extra ports and more than one external display?

[vpattt]

Not sure why but if I were to purchase a MacBook Air, I am leaning toward the bigger beautiful 15”
