![]() ![]() It wouldn’t need to be any more powerful. It would put an emphasis on the thin-and-light form factor, taking the 13-inch thin-and-light design and scaling it to 16-inches. In my eyes, this larger MacBook Air would be identical to the 13-inch model in every way, but with a larger display. Right through to Chance Miller, writing just a month ago: I sold my MacBook earlier this year, however, as I ultimately found the screen real estate just too limiting for comfortable daily use. It’s fine for writing and lightweight photo and video editing. I was fond of the new machine last year during my initial review, and the second-gen improves on the power and battery life. ![]() My favorite MacBook that currently exists is the 12-inch MacBook with Retina display. Bigger MacBooks are heavier MacBooks and 11-, 12-, and 13-inch screens just aren’t ideal for me full-time My hope has been for a MacBook that prioritizes “thinness” over power to deliver a larger display in a lightweight casing. Indeed, people have been calling for larger-screened MacBook Airs for many years. Yet another is the immersiveness of a larger screen when watching movies. There are countless possibilities.Īnother reason might be older users with degraded eye-sight wanting a larger screen for usability reasons. A writer may have their notes open as they write (if they haven’t yet heard of Scrivener!). A keen cook might have a recipe open as they compile a shopping list. A student might have a website open as they write a paper. You don’t have to be using pro apps to benefit from this. ![]() Being able to work with two windows side by side is an obvious one. There are many reasons people might want a large-screened MacBook Air. Those people were then forced to pay the substantial premium for a MacBook Pro when they had no need for the higher specs. People may want a large screen without needing beefy processing power. So pro specs should mean a large screen.īut Apple seemingly forgot to look at the other side. If you want a powerful machine suitable for running professional audiovisual apps, you likely want a decent-sized screen. Looked at from one side of the equation, that made sense. The MacBook Pro offered larger screen sizes ( up to 17 inches) and higher specs. The MacBook Air offered small screen sizes (as small as 11 inches) and modest power. There are no further details at this stage, but to me such a machine makes a huge amount of sense, and could be the perfect MacBook model for many users …Īpple has traditionally conflated screen size with power. A new report yesterday said that Apple is working on a new 15-inch MacBook Air, for potential release in 2023. ![]()
