Everyone from international technology publications to YouTube content creators are nothing short of raving about the MacBook Air 15’s boosted screen dimensions. Early reviews of the MacBook Air 15 are praising the laptop’s bigger screen packed into a thin-and-light form factor. 

In case you didn’t know, this is the very first time that Apple has released a 15-inch screen variant of the MacBook Air – since the MacBook Air’s inception back in 2008, when Steve Jobs unveiled it from inside a manila folder to show the world just how thin the original MacBook Air was!

Well, circa 2023, and Apple’s latest MacBook Air 15 is even thinner at 1.15-cm to the original MacBook Air’s 1.9-cm thickness! That’s not all, the new MacBook Air 15 is obviously much better in terms of performance thanks to Apple’s M2-chip inside.

However, the highlight of the MacBook Air 15 is nothing but its larger dimensions, which allows it to pack in a superior 15-inch IPS display, supporting 2880 x 1864 pixel resolution at 500-nits brightness. The increased size of the MacBook Air 15 not only offers users a bigger screen to play with but also a better typing and trackpad experience.
