Apple has just held its yearly WWDC developers conference at its HQ in Cupertino with the US technology giant lifting the lid on a swathe of updates including its all-new iOS 17 software that will land on iPhones later this year. However, this year’s keynote isn’t just about new operating systems with the US firm also showing off a brand new MacBook Air with one very big upgrade.
The latest laptop from Apple now comes with a massive 15.3-inch display – that’s the biggest we’ve ever seen on the Air range. Until now it was only the more expensive Pro laptops were available with larger panels but that’s no longer the case.
That extra space should make this new Air perfect for those wanting more room to watch movies, work and play games on the move. Along with being bigger, this Retina screen gets impressive technology such as 500nits of brightness and one billion colours.
Apple is also boasting that despite its size, the new Air remains super portable with it weighing in at a reasonably lightweight 1.4kgs. That’s compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro which features a design with a less backpack friendly 2.16kg. It’s also just 11.5mm thin which should make it perfect to pop in your bag.
Head under its toughened aluminium shell and it’s powered by Apple’s latest M2 silicon which means it will easily cope with tasks such as 4K video editing, photo retouching and answering endless emails. In fact, it’s around 12 times faster than the best Intel-powered devices.
Other features include an impressive 1080p webcam, MagSafe charging, two USB-C ports and 18-hours battery life.
Owners will treated to a phenomenal new six-speaker sound system with two tweeters and two sets of force-cancelling woofers. Apple says the new speakers deliver twice the bass depth for fuller sound, and Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos provides immersive experiences whether listening to music or watching movies.
The new Air will arrive later this month in numerous colours including midnight, starlight, silver, and space gray.
UK pricing will be announced soon but in the US it will cost £1,399. It can be ordered from today.
Along with that new MacBook Air, there’s a new Max Studio desktop PC coming soon which now comes with new M2 chips including the M2 Ultra. That makes this one of the most powerful PCs on the planet.
There’s also a new Mac Pro which offers the ultimate performance for professional users.
Both of these computers will also be available to buy from next week.
