Overview
Students, writers and creative professionals get a big-screen MacBook Air with Apple's newest chip and generous memory. The Liquid Retina display, Touch ID and six speakers fit in a light shell.
A big screen and large memory pool handle heavy multitasking without a heavy laptop. Two Thunderbolt ports means dongles for HDMI, USB-A or card readers.
Who it's for
Photo editing, coding and long research sessions benefit from the screen size and memory. Travelers who value the smallest footprint should consider the smaller model.
Pros and cons
- Large sharp display
- Generous unified memory
- Touch ID fingerprint reader
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6
- Only two Thunderbolt ports
- Larger footprint than the smaller model
- Box list contains an error
Performance notes
Multitasking stays smooth because unified memory is shared between CPU and GPU without copying. Battery life falls with sustained GPU loads such as video export.
