Apple launched its biggest MacBook Air to date, the 15-inch MacBook Air, globally and in India on Monday. The new MacBook Air, unveiled at WWDC 2023, is advertised as the thinnest 15-inch laptop in the world. Similar to the 13-inch model from the previous year, it features the M2 CPU, up to 18 hours of battery life, and an updated 6-speaker system for what seems to be more immersive music. In India, a 15-inch MacBook Air costs as little as Rs 1,34,900 (Rs 1,24,900 for students). General availability is pegged for June 13.

Size of the laptop: The unibody metal design of the 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 is slim and light, with a thickness of just 11.5mm. It only weights 1.49kg. The front of the device features a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with thin bezels and a notch-mounted 1080p camera. The screen supports 1 billion colours and has a 500nit maximum brightness.

Colours: It is available in four finishes: silver, midnight, starlight, and space grey.

Under the hood: Apple's M2 processor, which has an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine, is what's inside. Combined memory of up to 24GB can be used with this. As a result of the hardware setup, the 15-inch MacBook Air is "up to 12x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air" and "up to twice as fast compared to the best-selling 15-inch PC laptop with a Core i7 processor."

A 3-mic array and a 6-speaker sound system with capability for spatial audio complete the set.
