    Talking about the 13″ vs 15″ and not mentioning the weight? Really? Further – no weight info either. 🙁

      There is an NDA, and these ar just early thoughts. Full reviews will arrive after the embargo.

      …and they did mention the weight, speakers, price, etc…

    You must have a lot of confidence to pull out your MacBook on the bus.

    A fan-less computer is dumb.

      Why is it dumb? Fanless is great in quite places like class and a library

    • andyH_England

      Phones and tablets that are as powerful as many laptops are fanless and much smaller in footprint, so I need clarification on your thoughts. This is Apple Silicon, ARM, so does uses much less wattage than the crazy Intel chips.

      “dumb” It still is Apple’s best selling MacBook, and recommended by your favorites like MKBHD.

    Those Bacbook Airs are going to sell like hotcakes for that price!

    Best news – No more crappy lightning cables.

    I can’t wait to see it! The 13 inch is nice but the screen is a little small for longer time periods.

      thinnest 15 inch

    13 inches is $1099 while the 15 inches is $1299? So that is like $100 per inch? If that is the case, I would need a 6 inches Macbook Air then.

    Why talk about the base prices and the top line specs? Most people want to know what they get in the base model of each and at what price to make a comparison. Suggesting an Air is a better choice than a Pro for a video editing use case also doesn’t seem like very good advice.

    • andyH_England

      June 7, 2023 at 1:53 am

      They are obviously not talking about pro video editing. For casual or semi-pro, MB Air easily handles video editing software if used sensibly.

    13 & 14inch all the the way, 15” & 16” have portability issue in flight; on bus,subway &Trains; can’t even fit on coffee table well; and its off balance on the laps.

    Upgrading is too expensive!! 🙄

      The one you like best and can afford

    Great video. Very professional, helpful, and fun. How does one enter the 15″ MacBook Air giveaway? 😛

    Nothing changed, just 1.4in more display

    I think the biggest disparity is the air is limited to 1 external monitor

    I am proud to say my friend is the EOM of this Mac Book 15 project team. So proud of him. Way to go David!!!!

    Typical Apple late to the party again. 15 inch mba makes sense. Why has it taken so long?

    Still wish i could afford an m1 air to replace my 2012 unibody pro😅

    The differentiation in SOCs makes the 15″ Air worse than it need to be. One more USB-C to the right, a 120Hz display and more than 2TB of storage and 24GB of RAM… that’d be tremendous. In the base spec the 15″ Air is pointless. Nobody needs that with less than 512GB of storage.

    Boiling down different price points and feature sets, I think the best device to get now is the M1 Air at a good deal around 750 USD.

    What’s wrong with your chin? Get it operated before it releases her babies…

    I just want a 13” with the newer design or an iPad mini Pro.
