Some of the spiciest news to leave the Apple<\/a> rumor mill this month tells us the company plans to release a 15-inch MacBook Air<\/a>. Actually, it might not even be called a MacBook \u2018Air,\u2019 but it would at least offer a lighter and cheaper alternative to the 16-inch MacBook Pro for those who would like a big screen on their laptop.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time<\/a> we\u2019ve heard this rumor, but it seems increasingly likely to be true thanks to recent reports by Display Supply Chain Consultants<\/a> and Apple tipster Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>. Unfortunately, such a device might not arrive until 2023.<\/p>\n

Predictions for Apple’s potential 15″ notebook in 2023:
1. Mass production in 4Q23 if all goes to plan.
2. Although a larger display generally consumes more power, the design goal is to use the same 30W power adapter as MacBook Air.
3. It might not be called MacBook Air. https:\/\/t.co\/R3UfxNWZW1<\/a><\/p>\n

I always suggest taking rumors so far in the future with a big grain of salt \u2014 predictions could be based on fluid projects, or Apple could simply change its mind \u2014 but as far as I\u2019m concerned, a 15-inch MacBook<\/a> Air is long overdue. In 2022, there\u2019s no reason a larger screen needs to be exclusive to the highest-performing (and most expensive) laptops.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t always the case. For most of the time I\u2019ve tested and reviewed laptops (since circa 2014, for those who care) there\u2019s been a clear performance divide between 13-inch and 15-inch laptops. That was especially true among mainstream laptops in the \u2018premium\u2019 tier.<\/p>\n

13-inch laptops were the ultimate portable PCs, filling countless lecture halls and coffee shops. Those were the laptops you got because you just needed<\/em> a laptop and would rather it not weigh you down.<\/p>\n
