After the long awaited fanfare, Apple has officially released their new 15 inch Macbook Air and users are excited. Previously, the larger Macbooks were reserved for Macbook Pros which are considerably more expensive. Furthermore, it is also significantly lighter and thinner than its pro counterpart.
According to Macrumors, the new 15.3-inch MacBook Air maintains the same design and performance as its 13.6-inch predecessor from last year. However, it boasts a larger display and a new six-speaker sound system. The same M2 chips are in it as it is in the 13 inch Macbook Air from 2022.
Following that, the aesthetics of the new Airs are exactly the same. The starting price for the 15-inch MacBook Air is $1,299, while the Mac Studio is available from $2,000 for the base M2 Max version and $4,000 for the base M2 Ultra model. The Mac Pro starts at $6,999 and all models come with the M2 Ultra chip.

However, there are users who show less excitement towards the new computers. This is due to the fact that the prices of these new computers are quite pricey. Furthermore, they look nearly identical to ones that are from 2022. In addition to this, users are also stating that there are not that many new features on said Macbook.
It really is the perfect laptop and, if I weren't dead broke, I would totally trade in my 2019 16" MacBook Pro and finally hop on the Apple Silicon train
