Long-awaited entry model with large screen.
Equipped with the M2 chip announced at WWDC23 the other day15-inch model of MacBook AirHowever, Gizmodo was able to borrow the actual device and try it out one step ahead.
Although it has some disadvantages compared to the 13-inch model, it has a large screen and high-performance speakers, making it one of the minimalists that can be used comfortably without additional peripherals.especiallyPeople who want to use the same laptop both at home and on the goIt will be the perfect entry Mac for you.
15 inch big screen is justice
The first is a 15-inch display. Compared to the 13-inch model, the width and height are one size larger, and the 15-inch is naturally superior when viewing photos and videos in full screen.
The 15-inch work space can also be used more widely. For those who work with many windows open or need to display a large amount of text anyway, the screen is big and wide.
By the way, the trackpad is also larger and easier to use than the 13-inch.
The performance is reasonably good, but I think it is suitable for applications where you want to secure only the size of the screen and the amount of information, such as research and programming while referring to a large number of papers.
Speaker sound is exceptionally good
The size of the screen isn’t the only difference compared to the 13-inch. The speakers are also getting better.
The 13-inch has 4 speakers, while the 15-inch has 6 speakers. The difference in sound quality is quite large,The 15-inch has a clearer bass sound.The vocal sound was also thick and had a core. You can also feel the three-dimensional effect of spatial audio.
Unless you’re a music producer or something, you probably don’t want to bother with external speakers.
15 inches is solid and heavy
The thickness is 0.2 mm thicker at 15 inches than at 13 inches, but I couldn’t tell the difference even if I held it in my hand.
It looks pretty slim for a 15-inch computer, so I expected it to feel light when held.Not really。
When I move to the conference room, I often grab the palm rest of the PC with one hand and carry it.1.51kg is heavy…. The 13-inch model weighs 1.24kg, and I’m completely fine with this way of holding it, so I can definitely feel the difference of 270g. I put it in my backpack and carried it on my back, but it still feels heavier than the 13 inch.
It’s not too heavy to carry around, but for example, I want to lighten my load as much as possible because I’m always on the move! It may be better for people to be careful when choosing a 15-inch model.
Conversely, I can only see that the 15-inch is heavier than the 13-inch (and the price difference).
Air that is not in need if there is this one
Until now, the only MacBook Pro with a large screen was the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and there was no choice but to choose a flagship machine that costs more than 300,000 yen. The 15-inch MacBook Air is a long-awaited model that meets the demand for a large screen for light Mac users.
And with a beautiful 15-inch display and powerful speakers that support spatial audio, you can work comfortably with just this one without having to build a castle on your desk with an unreasonably large external display and speakers. Is not it. It is also efficient to work in the same environment both at home and outside.
If you really need a bigger screen or better sound, that’s whereVision ProMaybe it’s time to go. If it were me, I would keep a budget until the entry model Vision comes out.
