15-Inch MacBook Air M2 Preorder: Where to Buy Apple’s Latest Laptop

During its WWDC 2023 keynote on Monday, Apple unveiled a new addition to the MacBook Air lineup: a 15-inch model. It’s the first MacBook Air in that size since the lightweight laptop line was created, adding a larger laptop option for those not needing all the bells and whistles of the MacBook Pro models.

As well as a larger, 15.3-inch display, the new MacBook Air features Apple’s M2 chip, Touch ID sensor, two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, MagSafe charger and 18-hour battery life. The screen supports up to 500 nits of brightness and up to a billion colors. There’s a built-in 1080p camera for FaceTime calls, too, as well as a three-mic array and six speakers for spatial audio support.

The device weighs just over three pounds and is only 11.5mm thin, making it easy to tote around despite its larger screen. RAM can be configured up to 24GB and storage goes up to 2TB.
