    had a 13 MBA for a few years, considering the 15 MBA. Thanks for the video. Still undecided. I might splurge and just try it. I reeeallly want to have a little more of two windows at once taking up the display, multitasking is much harder on the 13 MBA compared to a desktop setup that I came from. I know it's portable, but I think the 15 MBA could be the ticket.

    you should compare to the 14" pro as it has more screen content that can be displayed than the 15" air and old 15" pro due to higher resolution but you may have to squint a little more.

      @@shamelynramirez1673 I have 15 inch (may be 16) Dell advanced laptop which is easy to carry around. Because the weight of that is less than my 14" macbook pro. If your usage is mainly for college which doesnt involve continuous programming work, then go for macbook Air models. Even large screen 15" would be great. If you are doing something which is CPU intensive, then choose macbook pro series. And stick to 14" (not 13). that would be okay considering the weight and size decent for carrying around.

    Is it worth to switch from MacBook Air 13” M1 to Air 15”? It’ll be regular work and photo editing (sometimes). I mean the current Air 13” M1 is still doing just fine,but I just think that it’s time to change (as I got this since 11/2020). Any recommendations?

    • @Knightely
      @Knightely Рік тому +3

      @iceliizer A macbook is in general very robust and can be used (if taken care of) for years, I personally don’t think that there is a big even any difference at all between the m1 and m2 if you use it for basic stuff as you say. It’s quite the waste of money but if you have some money to waste you can go for it, if you really like the design.. because honestly the only major thing that changes between the m1 and the m2 is the design.

    Thanks for this early comparison. I think this Apple MacBook Air will be a huge success for Apple as it addresses one of the limitations of Apple MacBook Air, its screen size. All other things considered it is nice to see there are other advantages in addition to screen size. So many Apple fans will be so happy not to need to purchase a Apple MacBook Pro just to have access to a larger display. Good job Apple.
