Apple in June introduced the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air, the world’s best 15-inch laptop. With an expansive 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, the incredible performance of M2, up to 18 hours of battery life, and a silent, fanless design, the new MacBook Air brings power and portability — all in the world’s thinnest 15-inch laptop.
With an all-new six-speaker sound system, the 15-inch MacBook Air delivers immersive Spatial Audio, along with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, MagSafe charging, and the power and ease of macOS Ventura for an unrivaled experience. the 15-inch MacBook Air is now available for order.
On the left side, you’ll find a MagSafe port and two USB-C ports, while the right side just has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The keyboard is just as good as Apple’s recent efforts have been, and the trackpad remains best in class.
It was surprising not to see speaker grilles on either side of the keyboard, but the improved audio output is actually within the hinge, Apple’s engineers used the extra space afforded by the larger footprint to add speakers, fixing one of the 13-inch’s very few flaws.
You’re here for the display, though, and it won’t disappoint unless you’re used to the Liquid Retina XDR panel on the MacBook Pro. Still, that’s more in terms of sheer contrast than anything else, and the 2880×1864 resolution is plenty sharp.
The MacBook Air is using the same M2 chip as its 13-inch sibling, but it remains an impressive feat of engineering that it can power through so many simple and complex tasks, and still offer all-day battery life.
The MacBook Air M2’s 15-inch version is likely to sell like hotcakes with its mix of excellent design, power-efficient performance and larger display. It’s the best the MacBook Air has ever been and is likely to become the most popular model around.
While the 13-inch is excellent, the larger display makes it possible to get more done, particularly in terms of multitasking. It remains a modern marvel thanks to its combination of portability, power and excellent battery life.

So many bought and paid for reviewers. Reality: it throttles its speed big time as it can’t sustain longer intensive processing cycles. It has a shallow keyboard. And its screen is subpar (not liquid Retina).
I own a 15 inch M2 MacBook Air.
Every single point you have raised is complete bullshit.
The machine’s performance blows away any comparably priced Intel or AMD based machine with easily double the battery life. Similarly, the display destroys all of the Wintel PC competitors and is by far the best that one can get for the money. It is a very bright 500 nits display with full Retina resolution – not a pixel to be seen with the naked eye.
The same is true for the webcam, speakers, microphones, industrial design, sturdiness, and build quality. Oh, and let’s not forget the operating system. All completely unmatched by the competition.
Your post is so bad, it makes me wonder who paid you to post blatant misinformation?
Your post is complete BS. You have FAILED to refute anything I have said. I’m not talking about sturdiness. I’m not talking about comparing battery life to windows machines.
I STATED THAT THE 15″ MACBOOK AIR THROTTLES ITS CPU FOR ANY SUSTAINED WORKLOAD AND THAT IT HAS A SHALLOW KEYBOARD AND THAT THE SCREEN IS SUBPAR. The screen I’m comparing it to is the MacBook Pro, but there are also some very good screens on the Windows side as well, including OLED. Deeper contrast.
