Over the past year, I've used the M2-powered 13-inch MacBook Air with 8 GB of memory and noticed its constraints. Even on less busy days, when I'd have several tabs and windows open, I'd see the spinning rainbow wheel frequently, forcing me to wait for the machine to catch up. It made meabout how much I'm doing with the Air so that I wouldn't tax it too much.
As for battery life, Apple claims up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing, which is the same as the smaller MacBook Air. But I've been seeing better results than the 13-inch model. Last year's Air would hit deplete towards the end of the workday, but the 15 incher consistently had about 40 percent left after seven to eight hours of use—leaving me with enough battery to squeeze in a couple of episodes ofbefore plugging in.
The 15-inch MacBook Air is the best of both worlds—a larger display in a light and thin chassis. If a majority of your days consist of working off a laptop, even if it's as routine as sending emails, working on spreadsheets, or typing words into documents, the 15-inch screen will save you from the migraines that come along with squinting at a cramped screen all day.
