The MacBook Air 15-inch is shaping up to be a seriously awesome laptop. The MacBook Air 13-inch (M2) is our current choice for the best laptop on the market, and the new 15-inch version looks like it could be even better.

The 2023 MacBook air sports a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display as well as Apple's powerful M2 chip. All this is packed into a shell that measures just 11.5 mm thick and weighs 3.3 pounds. The MacBook Air 15-inch comes in four colors: Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Space Gray.

Apple promises the 15-inch MacBook Air M2 will last for up to 18 hours of battery life, which would put it on par with some of the best laptops for battery life we've tested. Plus, this MacBook has six speakers for a more immersive audio experience compared to the 13-inch MacBook Air.
