The more I think about a 15-inch MacBook Air, the more it makes sense. The current MacBook Air range is already an easy sell but a 15-inch version would be a fantastic option for those who want a basic productivity performance and portable design, but with a larger screen for watching video. I am a little disappointed as that probably means that the supresized MacBook Air won’t have a Mini LED display or ProMotion technology, but it’s understandable that Apple would want to reserve those high-end features for the Pro line. The 15-inch MacBook Air is also expected to have the same design and featureset of its smaller 13-inch sibling. I haven't heard of any plans for rumored 12" MacBook yet. New 15" MacBook may offer two CPU options, M2 (with 35W adapter) & M2 Pro (with 67W adapter).ģ. New 15" MacBook would go to mass production in mid-1H23, and launch date may be 2Q23 or later.Ģ.

If you fancy a high-end productivity laptop with a big screen that can go toe to toe with Windows rivals – such as the Dell XPS 15, Huawei MateBook 16s and LG Gram Style – then your best bet is to buy the 16-inch MacBook Pro. This leaves macOS fans in an odd situation. But with no other notable upgrades, it’s hard to justify picking this laptop over the more affordable MacBook Air. With a base price of £1349, it features the same processor as the MacBook Air, but with the added benefit of a fan to keep performance optimal. The 13-inch MacBook Pro was supposed to bridge that gap, but I don’t think it succeeded in doing so.
