This 15-inch MacBook Air is a fast, light laptop that I use to perform all my everyday tasks. For example, I make reports in Pages, I send my mail and I surf the internet. I watch my favorite series on the razor-sharp Liquid Retina screen. I can hear my music through the Dolby Atmos speakers all around me. In short, an ideal laptop for daily use. I do regret that you quickly see fingerprints on the dark blue aluminum housing.
Ideal for everyday use
This MacBook Air has the M2 chip, so everything goes quickly and smoothly. I notice this when starting up my laptop, but also when I multitask between my open tabs in Safari. My 15-inch MacBook Air is a lot bigger than its 2022 predecessor. Still, my new addition is light. It fits easily in my bag and is not heavy at 1.51 kilograms. The large screen gives me a good overview of all my work. For even more space, I often connect an extra monitor with a docking station. You'll need it quickly, by the way: this MacBook only has 2 USB-C ports. In addition to the USB-C ports, this Apple laptop has a mini jack connection. I myself have AirPods and do not use this port, but if you use wired audio equipment, this is of course nice. I charge via the MagSafe connection. I find this magnetic charger ideal as it fires into the port quickly. The battery life of this thin model surprised me. After a day of work, it is not empty yet. I regularly complete some tasks on the train and then never have to charge my MacBook in the meantime. I just do this at night.
MacBook Air as entertainment
The screen is a pleasure to look at. I see every detail and the colors jump off the screen. That's why I just watch my favorite series on my MacBook, because it's a lot sharper than my old television. Thanks to the 6 speakers with Dolby Atmos, I can hear music and sound all around me. Because of this, everything I perceive is realistic. During video calls I am in focus. This is due to the quality of the updated 1080p FaceTime camera. Of course, the laptop itself also looks attractive. The design is thin and sleek, as we are used to from Apple. Even the color of the charging cable is the same as my MacBook: Midnight. It's a small detail, but it certainly completes the complete picture.
