15-inch MacBook Air hits shelves

 

Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Air officially hits stores today, June 13.  The laptop, announced at last week's WWDC, features a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, M2 processor, MagSafe charging, and Thunderbolt ports. It has up to 18 hours of battery life and is up to 12x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air.2 According to Apple, it's the world's thinnest 15-inch laptop and comes in four finishes, midnight, starlight, space gray, and silver. It has the largest display of its kind, as previous MacBook Air models were available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. The larger size could improve Mac sales, which have been declining recently. The base model starts at $1,299. Prices go up to $2,499 with upgraded RAM and storage. Amazon is offering a $49 discount on both the 256GB and 512GB models. The Mac Studio and Mac Pro are also available as of today. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is already working on 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M3 chip, which could launch in 2024. Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Air. Credit: Apple
