Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (M2, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

The MacBook Air 15-inch is Apple's big-screen fanless laptop, built on the M2 chip with an 8-core CPU, 16-core Neural Engine and up to 18 hours of battery life. It runs silent under load and stays thin for a 15-inch machine. The 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD version is the mid-tier configuration. At $685 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it sits well below what this model typically sells for new, making it one of the better value points in its run.

What people mention

Questions and answers

Is the 8GB RAM enough?
For web browsing, documents, video and light photo editing, yes. If you keep many tabs or run virtual machines and heavy editing apps, 16GB is the safer choice, and memory can't be added later.
How does it compare to the 13-inch MacBook Air M2?
Same M2 chip and similar battery life, but the 15-inch has a larger screen and a six-speaker sound system. It weighs a bit more.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at up to 18 hours. Owners commonly report a full workday of mixed use on one charge.
What's in the box?
The laptop and a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable. The power adapter is a separate purchase in some regions, so check the listing.
Does it have a fan?
No. It is fanless, so it runs silent, but sustained heavy loads will make it slow down to manage heat.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on the M2 Air 15-inch have fallen as newer models arrived. The $685 Walmart price as of November 7, 2026 is well below its earlier new pricing, and clearance events are the usual low points.
