Apple will launch a new MacBook Air laptop with a 15-inch screen and an M2 processor this year

Apple launched the M2-powered 13-inch MacBook Air laptop in July 2022, and now, the tech giant is said to be working on a new 15-inch MacBook Air model that is expected to launch later in 2023.

The upcoming laptop is also likely to feature the M2 chip, and according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the previously rumored 12-inch MacBook with Apple silicon that was also expected this year may not launch in 2023.

Key features

Apart from this, display analyst Ross Young also claimed last month that the company’s suppliers are likely to start producing 15.5-inch display panels for the upcoming laptop in the first quarter of this year. Recent rumors have also suggested that Apple is working on a 15.5-inch MacBook Air that could be launched in the spring of 2023.

Main specifications

The latest MacBook Air features a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone and is powered by Apple’s latest M2 chipset. This laptop supports a 1080p FaceTime HD camera and a MagSafe 3 charging port.

For connectivity, the 13-inch MacBook Air comes with two Thunderbolt ports and two USB 4.0 ports. The laptop also supports Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and is equipped with a Force Touch trackpad. The M2-powered MacBook Air starts at Rs 1,19,900 and supports 30W USB-C charging.
