According to BGR, the 15-inch MacBook Air was one of three new Macs introduced by Apple, taking up about 5 minutes of speech because it was simply a larger variant of the 13,6-inch model that was released last year. But not so that the product does not bring surprises to consumers, especially in terms of price.
With a larger screen size, thin and light design, and especially the M2 chip inside, the 15-inch model of MacBook Air becomes attractive. Even without the M3 chip (Apple has yet to launch it), the M2 still ensures that the product delivers excellent performance and battery life. The 15-inch MacBook Air promises 18 hours of battery life (Apple TV movie playback) or up to 15 hours of wireless browsing. This is on par with estimates for the 13,6-inch MacBook Air and 2-inch MacBook Pro M14.
However, Apple offers an unexpected price for the product. The starting price for the 15-inch MacBook Air is $1.299, $300 less than what many analysts had previously predicted, even though that's the predicted price for the product using the M3 chip. The base version of the 15-inch MacBook Air comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and users can spend an extra $200 to get the 8/512 GB or higher version for RAM and storage. bigger.
For the base version, the $1.299 price tag is a surprise and makes it a computer that Apple rivals will be wary of. Apple also continues to sell the MacBook Air M1 starting at $999, and it's a pretty strong contender in the market. In addition, the 13,6-inch MacBook Air M2 that starts at $1.099 is also incredibly powerful.
The move to M-series chips has certainly helped Apple deliver a powerful MacBook Air line. M-series chips are not only a "nightmare" for Intel and its competitors, but also help Apple reduce production costs because the company does not have to buy chips from other manufacturers. Users can pre-order the 15-inch MacBook Air now before it ships next week. In Vietnam, the product is expected to be distributed and sold in the market in July with the price from 7 million VND.
