OPINION : Apple has the strong line - up of laptops on the mart in good order now but there ’s an open finish that could make it even intimately .
Not only does it have the ultra - sleekMacBook Airwith owing battery efficiency , but also theMacBook Prowhich is arguably the sound option for creative professionals , but there ’s presently a foreign interruption in relation to the former .
The latest MacBook Air has a stand Leontyne Price of £ 1249 , but if you fancy more power and more exciting characteristic , then you ’ll have to expend at least £ 2149 on the 14 - in MacBook Pro – that ’s a vast £ 900 remainder .
The 13 - inch MacBook Pro was supposed to bridge over that interruption , but I do n’t think it succeeded in doing so . With a base damage of £ 1349 , it features the same processor as the MacBook Air , but with the added benefit of a fan to keep functioning optimal . But with no other noteworthy rising slope , it ’s heavy to justify pick this laptop over the more low-cost MacBook Air .
This allow macOS buff in an peculiar situation . If you fancy a high - closing productivity laptop computer with a large screen that can go toe to toe with Windows rivals – such as theDell XPS 15,Huawei MateBook 16sand LG Gram Style – then your best bet is to buy the 16 - in MacBook Pro . Given that that laptop computer cost a jaw - dropping £ 2699 , it palpate like a large waste of money if you are n’t run low to make use of the incredible power ofM2 ProorM2 Maxchips . This is where a 15 - inch MacBook Air could save the day .
Apple has yet to reassert the creation of such a laptop , but sequential Apple leakerMark Gurman claimsthat we could see a 15 - in interpretation of the MacBook Air arrive as early on as this Spring .
Another well get laid Apple leaker , Ming - Chi Kuo , has backed up these claim while also predicting that the 15 - column inch MacBook Air could come in two different flavours : one with anM2chipset and the other power by the M2 Pro .
Prediction updates:1 . unexampled 15 " MacBook would go to mass output in mid-1H23 , and launching date may be 2Q23 or later.2 . Modern 15 " MacBook may extend two processor options , M2 ( with 35W adapter ) & M2 Pro ( with 67W adapter).3 . I have n’t get word of any plans for rumored 12 " MacBook yet.https://t.co/zm09nMvG7R
The 15 - column inch MacBook Air is also expected to have the same purpose and featureset of its smaller 13 - column inch sib . I am a footling disappointed as that plausibly mean that the supresized MacBook Air wo n’t have aMini LEDdisplay orProMotiontechnology , but it ’s perceivable that Apple would want to reserve those eminent - goal feature of speech for the Pro line .
The current MacBook Air reach is already an easy sell but a 15 - inch version would be a fantastical option for those who want a basic productivity performance and portable purpose , but with a larger silver screen for watching video .
The more I recall about a 15 - in MacBook Air , the more it cause sense . It ’s not precisely a revolutionary idea , but it will serve to give the Mac range a trivial more residue . Let ’s just desire those rumor are straight .
