Apple held their Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where it announced some upgrades to three of their computers: Mac Pro, Mac Studio and MacBook Air all received updates that improved performance over previous versions. The 15-inch MacBook Air now sports an updated Apple silicone M2 chip found in previous models. Meanwhile, two desktop computers will soon get to take advantage of a brand-new M2 Ultra chip introduced at WWDC. Apple recently unveiled their approach to mixed reality with the Apple Vision Pro headset. As this expensive spatial computer won’t be released until early next year, computer news is more pertinent at present; here are details about each new Apple computer released today.
Apple 15-Inch MacBook Air For years, the MacBook Air was only available in its standard 13-Inch size; but now Apple has introduced a 15-Inch MacBook Air featuring a 2880×1864 resolution with Liquid Retina Display that’s perfect for editing content creation purposes – especially photographers or videographers using it to edit photos/vids/etc. And yet even with such a large display size and weight (less than half an Inch thick and 3.38 pounds respectively), which makes this machine lighter than even its 14 predecessor 14 Inch version!
Though larger in size, not much else differs between the 13-inch and 15-inch tablets other than size. Both charge via MagSafe charger and feature a 1080p camera, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, headphone jack and 18 hours of battery life respectively. They are offered in four colors including Space Gray, Silver Midnight Starlight.
Apple took full advantage of the extra real estate on the 15-inch model to add two additional speakers for a total of six, providing superior sound quality while watching movies or editing video. Furthermore, the 10-core GPU comes standard on this version while it can be purchased as an upgrade on others; Apple claims this new MacBook Air offers performance almost 40 percent faster than previous generations in workload intensive programs like Final Cut Pro while applying filters or effects in Photoshop should be 20 percent quicker according to them.
