Apple MacBook Air's 15-inch screen makes a surprising difference

Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air takes everything we like about the 13-inch model and puts it in a bigger case with a larger screen. It’s a simple formula, but one that works extremely well. It does basically everything right. Performance is impressive, the screen is great, the battery lasts all day, the keyboard and trackpad are among the best you can get. And despite the large screen, the 15-inch Air is still extremely thin and light. It’s also the rare Apple computer that is an impressive value. It’s the most affordable computer they’ve ever made with a screen this size. For anyone who has wanted a bigger display but doesn’t want to shell out MacBook Pro prices, the 15-inch Air is an ideal option.

Price: $1,299 ($1,699 as reviewed)
Pros: Impressive performance from the M2 chip, A large and lovely display, Great battery life, Excellent sound, Top-tier keyboard and trackpad
Cons: M2 chip is now a year old, Display refresh rate is only 60Hz

Score: 96
