15-inch MacBook Air hands-on: Just what some folks were asking for
CUPERTINO, Calif.—People have been asking for a 15-inch MacBook Air for about as long as the Air has existed.
The Air was originally conceived as a laptop that was all about extreme portability. But over time it became the default MacBook for most people—and plenty of users don’t need the performance of a MacBook Pro but might like a little more desktop space or a bigger screen on which to watch streaming TV.
Apple has targeted those people here. I spent a few minutes handling and using the 15-inch MacBook Air and—surprise! It’s just like the most recent 13-inch Air but wider and taller.
