This is just marketing hyperbole.

Apple made the 13 inch Macbook Air for many years, and the new 15 inch MBA has the same chip/performance as the 13 inch. There's more room for battery, and more surface area for cooling than on the 13 inch.

Sure, the Apple Silicon makes it better in some aspects than an x86-laptop, but that applied equally to the 13 inch. The real reason there was no 15 inch Macbook Air is because Apple didn't want to make one. This, in turn, would be based on sales estimates vs lower sales of the MBP as some customers would prefer the MBA.

Yes, Apple could have made a garbage 15 inch MacBook Air but the choose not to .You are so close to getting it. 

They could have made a quality 15” air long before now - as he points out they just didn’t want to. I’m glad they finally did - it’s way past time for them to have a larger screen in the non-pro end of things.

You said it, brother. When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Or when you worked your ass off for decades to get where you are and you see people who want to take it away - for you, or even worse your children - solely based on the color of your skin your damn straight people are going to get uppity.

Why do you think the left is desperately trying to pervert the American dream from the land of opportunity to the land of equity.  Equal opportunity means it's up to you to forge your own success.  Strong, independent people can't be lead around by the nose like a passel of sheep.  It's much easier to maintain power over people who are dependent and subservient - waiting for the roast duck to fly into their mouth.  That's why it's imperative to shift the discussion from character to immutable characteristics like race and gender.  

MLK would be run out on a rail for stating "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

If you don't have people focusing on race, gender or other immutable characteristics you can't have them constantly squabbling.  As soon as you focus on something quantifiable like character, emotion mostly goes out the window.

Instead we not have a movement that argues we should ensure equity through noble bigotry 🙄

Bigotry is never noble.

Ha Ha!

I hope they offer one with at least 32GB of RAM.  I love my 16" MacBook Pro - except for the weight.  If I could get an Air with a decent amount of RAM - woo hoo!

This guy is in imminent danger. People are crazy and when convinced of something they will do crazy things. He needs to hire a security guard for awhile.

What we really need is a universal right to be forgotten.  Especially when the collective Internet remembers the wrong information.  AI is only going to make this worse, apparently:  https://jonathanturley.org/2023/04/06/defamed-by-chatgpt-my-own-bizarre-experience-with-artificiality-of-artificial-intelligence/

The inaccuracy of a basket of wikipedia editors but the "authority" of unbiased AI.  Ha!
