Apple has done it again with the latest release of the MacBook Air. The 15-inch version has been highly-anticipated by Apple fans, but is it worth the upgrade from the classic 13-inch size? Here’s talking the changes and advantages of the new MacBook Air 15 inch.
Key features of the MacBook Air is its lightness and portability. However, with the 15-inch version, the weight has increased by 270 grams, reaching 1.5kg. It’s not exactly lightweight, but the thickness is still very well-controlled at 1.15 cm, making it look beautiful on a 15-inch laptop, like a big tablets.
Despite the added foot pad for heat dissipation, the 15-inch MacBook Air is almost the same thickness as the iPad Pro tablet. It’s also 650 grams lighter than the 14-inch MacBook Pro, making it quite user-friendly and more portable for those who travel frequently.
The 15-inch Air has also been upgraded to six speakers, making it a great option for those who want a bigger screen but don’t need the performance of the Pro. It’s perfect for mobile office work, as well as for those who don’t have a desktop computer at home with a large screen. The 15-inch screen can be used as a desktop computer at home and easily carried to the classroom, library, office, or meeting room. However, heavy business users may still prefer the 13-inch Air size.
One of the biggest advantages of the 15-inch MacBook Air is its price. It’s half the price of the 16-inch Pro, making it a more affordable option for those who want a larger screen size without the high price tag.
When it comes to the choice of charger, you can choose between a 35W dual-port charger or a 70W single-port charger. While the 70W charger will charge faster, the 35W dual-port plug is more suitable for travel, as it can be used in many high-speed trains, planes, and hotels. Additionally, it can charge two of your Apple devices at the same time without power interruption during plug-in and plug-out.
The Air’s full battery life can reach 18 hours, making it perfect for those who need to work on-the-go. In actual testing, a 1080p video played from 99% to 1% can continuously play for 12 hours, recommended to choose the 35W plug.
While the MacBook Pro is known for its performance and screen display, the MacBook Air is a great option for those who don’t need the high-end features of the Pro. If you’re a professional user, the Pro will bring you efficiency and performance far beyond the Air. However, if you’re just using it for office work, video conferencing, internet browsing, and watching videos, then the features of the Pro are not noticeable for you. Weight and thickness are more noticeable, so it’s recommended to choose the MacBook Air if you haven’t purchased a MacBook Pro in the past year and a half.
