MacBook Air at WWDC 2023: Apple unveils 15

Last year's M2 MacBook Air was awesome. Now, imagine a version of it that's a little bit bigger.

That's essentially what Apple announced at WWDC 2023.

The latest addition to the MacBook Air family is definitely more iterative than revolutionary, with a bump in display size from 13.6-inches to 15.3-inches.

Aside from the increased screen size, the newest MacBook Air seems to borrow the best of the 2022 model. It's powered by an M2 processor, which delivered excellent performance in our testing last year.

It's 11.5mm thin, only weighs three pounds, and has the same MagSafe port and two Thunderbolt ports as the 2022 Air. You'll also get a headphone jack and up to 2TB of storage and 24GB of RAM.

Oh, and the battery lasts around 18 hours.

It doesn't look like a huge upgrade over the 2022 Air, but maybe it doesn't have to be.
