![]() The MacBook Air uses the same Magic Keyboard as the rest of the MacBook lineup, and so we expect its typing experience to be just as sublime as with the MacBook Pro 14. The MacBook Pro 14 is the laptop for you if you need more than just a single external display. If you limit it to three displays, the HDMI port can drive a monitor at up to 4K/240Hz. The M2 Max model can handle up to four external displays, three at 6K/60Hz via Thunderbolt 4 and one at 4K/144Hz over HDMI. The MacBook Pro 14 with the M2 Pro can handle two external displays, one at 6K/60Hz over Thunderbolt 4 ports and one 6K/60Hz combined with a 4K resolution at 144Hz if the HDMI port is used for the second display. The Apple website lists Wi-Fi 6 for the MacBook Air 15 rather than the newer Wi-Fi 6E that’s listed for the MacBook Pro 14, and both have Bluetooth 5.3 support.īecause the MacBook Air M1 uses the base M2 CPU, it’s limited to just one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. Both utilize MagSafe 3 chargers, though, saving a Thunderbolt 4 port for external use. That makes the MacBook Pro 14 a lot more expandable. The Pro models come with three Thunderbolt 4 ports to go with an HDMI port and a full-size SD card reader. The MacBook Air 15 has less connectivity than the MacBook Pro 14, with just two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an audio jack (like the MacBook Air 13-inch). It wouldn’t be surprising if there’s the same kind of bending in the lid on the larger model given that it’s almost nearly as thin. ![]() One thing we noted with the MacBook Air 14 M2 is that in being so incredibly thin, there is some uncharacteristic bending to the lid that you won’t find on the MacBook Pro 14, which is incredibly solid all around. We haven’t gone hands-on with the MacBook Air 15 yet, but we imagine that it will have the same superior build quality that all MacBooks enjoy. The MacBook Air 15 is more colorful than its sibling, though, as it’s available in Starlight and Midnight colors to go with Silver and Space Gray. Of course, that’s a good thing, because the slightly boxy look that’s now common to all the MacBook models is elegant in its simplicity and, while it doesn’t stand out, it doesn’t need to. Imagine a MacBook Pro 14 that was placed on a cutting board and spread out a little with a rolling pin and you’ll get the idea. It’s also lighter at 3.3 pounds versus 3.5 pounds. That is, it looks a lot like the MacBook Pro 14, only slightly larger in width and depth, but a lot thinner at 0.45 inches versus 0.60 inches. DesignĪs mentioned in the intro, the MacBook Air 15 adopted the same design as the MacBook Air M2. If you don’t need the sheer power of the MacBook Pro 14 and can live without the inky blacks and extreme brightness, then the MacBook Air 15 will save you tons of money. Max it out, and you’ll spend a whopping $6,300 for a 12-core CPU/38-core GPU M2 Max, 96GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage. The MacBook Pro 14 is a much more expensive laptop, with a starting price of $2,000 for a 10-core CPU/16-core GPU M2 Pro, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina Mini-LED display.
