The most interesting, in my opinion, computer at the last WWDC 2023 was the MacBook Air 15″. This is not only a welcome addition to the range, but also the first 15-inch Air in history.
Some mistakenly believe that the Cupertinos believe that the new generation of MacBook Air includes a couple of 13-inch and 15-inch models. This is not true, only the large 15-inch MacBook Air is measured at WWDC, which is virtually identical to last year’s 13-inch model.
On the one hand, this means that the new laptop is suddenly on last day’s hardware, but on the other hand, it still has a few subtle features. In addition to the obvious differences in the size and diagonal of the matrix, there are a couple of hidden options.
Dimensions and weight
The most obvious differences between weight and size indicators are weight and size indicators. At the same time, the thickness in thickness and weight is generally minimal and noticeable only with direct detection.
● Large Macbook Air has dimensions 34.04 x 23.76 x 1.15 cm and weighs 1.51 kg. The presentation device named the world’s lightest 15-inch laptop.
● Little MacBook Air fit in the body 30.41 x 21.5 x 1.13 cm and weighs 1.24 kg.
Display
● Large Macbook Air supplied liquid retina diagonal display 15.3″ and intelligence 2880 x 1864what gives the density 224 dpi.
Supported true tone and color gamut P3peak brightness 500 nits.
● Little MacBook Air also has liquid retina screen, but with a diagonal 13.6″ and intelligence 2560 to 1664 parishes. The dot density is the same 224 ppi.
There is parallel support true tone and color gamut P3brightness is also 500 nits.
Filling
The first non-obvious obesity is hidden in the parameters of iron. It is extremely difficult to detect even with direct detection of models on the site.
● Large Macbook Air in the withdrawal of modifications received a chip Apple M2which one 8-core CPU, 10 GPU cores And 16-core Neural Engine.
Configurations can vary only on the amount of accumulation: 256 or 512 GB. The amount of RAM is based on 8 GB.
● Little MacBook Air also has a couple of modifications, but there are more differences between them. Chip based Apple M2which one 8-core CPU,
- 8 GPU cores
And 16-core Neural Engine. 10 GPU cores are only found in older 13-inch models, it costs $300 expensive.
Configurations exceed the amount of accumulation 256 or 512 GBRAM in the case 8 GB.
This difference will definitely affect graphics performance, where the base 13-inch model will be released with an advanced modification.
Audio system
The second non-obvious difference is the audio systems. The novelty was pumped according to this parameter.
● Large Macbook Air received an improved sound system of 6 speakers with low-frequency emitters. It’s almost like in the 14- and 16-inch line Macbook Pro. The sound will be simply excellent, acoustics in most cases will not arise.
● Little MacBook Air equipped with 4 speakers without mentioning low-frequency radiators. Of course, here the sound will be at the level, but with direct detection, it will definitely start the Air models.
Contents of delivery
● Large Macbook Air supplied with power supply 35 watts with two ports USB-C. This is a great adapter (here’s our review) that allows you to charge your MacBook and, for example, iPhone at the same time.
● Little MacBook Air in the base is completed with a single-port block for 30 watts and only in a box from older modifications a higher power adapter with two USB-C.
What in the end
After WWDC small Macbook Air fell by 100 dollars, but at the same time it has a number of differences in the base. Second analysis with accumulator 256 GB received a similar big Macbook Air power adapter and 10 GPU coresbut the sound system is there – the old 4 speakers.
With all this, the 13-inch older model stands on 100 dollars more expensive than a basic 15-inch laptop.
It is strange that the autonomic activity of pathogens is the same – 18 hours. In the model range of “firmware”, the enlarged model usually lasts for 4 hours. And in general, the stuffing of the 15-inch MacBook Air can be safely called the past. We expected the computer to receive a new processor right away. M3.
It turns out a turnover 13 inch models — these are implicit differences with “tags”and to the cons 15 inch models can be described a little bit of CPU allocation.
The novelty will be on sale already on a horse. She will arrive in Russia a couple of days later. As a rule, at the start of sales, the price tag is very high, but after 2-3 weeks the cost will approach a more realistic one. 125-135 thousand rubles.
