#Signature on macbook air pro

Trust me, when you're writing between 5,000 to 10,000 words a day, you know when the keyboard isn't up to scratch. Some big changes were brought in when Apple switched from the older butterfly keyboard, but it's been the same typing experience on Macs for several years now and it's excellent. When it comes to typing, which unsurprisingly I do a lot of here at Pocket-lint - the Magic Keyboard continues to impress me. If you're video editing, you will likely need a MacBook Pro, but for many people and standard everyday tasks, the MacBook Air 15-inch will handle near enough anything you throw at it, without so much as breaking a sweat. I use this regularly for image editing and it runs so smoothly and efficiently on this machine, whilst also not eating too much battery life that it means the MacBook Air 15-inch is more than enough for everything I need to do day-to-day. There's a lovely fluidity in switching between apps and tasks on the MacBook Air 15-inch too though, and while everything is fast and responsive, the apps that are optimised for Apple Silicon are really impressive - Adobe Photoshop being one of them. More on the speaker performance a little further down. This is the same as the 13.6-inch model - which struggled in the sound department - though there are two extra speakers on the MacBook Air 15-inchf. Instead, the speakers are positioned at the back of the MacBook Air 15-inch's base, where the hinge gap is.

Being slightly larger in build, there is some extra space either end of the keys on the MacBook Air 15-inch, though you won't find speakers like you get on the MacBook Pro models. Open up the lovely flat lid and you'll be greeted with a Magic Keyboard like the 13.6-inch model. Unsurprisingly, it's not quite as light as the 13.6-inch model, which comes in at 1.24kg, but it's still a great weight for its size and unless you're holding the 2022 model and this model in each hand, you wouldn't notice that difference.īy comparison, the 14-inch MacBook Pro weighs 1.6kg, and the 16-inch weighs 2.13kg, so the 15-inch MacBook Air is quite a bit lighter than both of these, certainly in the case of the 16-inch model. The first time I picked it up, I was pleasantly surprised and I've continued to be each time I've carried it around during my review period. In terms of weight, the 15-inch model weighs just 1.53kg (3.3lbs) and it is lovely and light for its size, which is the biggest story of this device really. It appears black in some lights, while in others you get some lovely blue undertones with plenty of depth. Our review model is Midnight, and while it absolutely loves a fingerprint - more so than the Starlight colour we had as a review unit for the 13-inch model - it is glorious as an option. My favourites are Starlight and Midnight, though the Silver and Space Grey are more traditional so it depends on what you're looking for as to which is the best colour for you. It's an aluminium body, as we have now come to expect from MacBook - it's been the material of choice since 2008 - and there are four colours available for the 15-inch model, comprising Starlight, Midnight, Silver and Space Grey. The base is flat, solid and premium and the edges are flat too, delivering a slim and slender device that has a lovely uniformed and symmetrical look.

That means that, like the 13.6-inch 2022 Air, this larger 15.3-inch model has a flat lid rather than rounded, which places it much more in line with the MacBook Pro.
