Our take on the Macbook Air 15" (2023) MQKU3PP/A (Starlight)

The 15.3-inch MacBook Air is Apple's largest fanless laptop, built around the M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. It pairs a big Liquid Retina display with a thin aluminum body, MagSafe 3 charging, two Thunderbolt ports and up to 18 hours of rated battery life. It suits people who want a large screen for writing, browsing and light creative work without a fan or a heavy chassis. Against 13-inch Airs it trades portability for screen space; against the 14-inch MacBook Pro it gives up the Pro's mini-LED display, ProMotion and active cooling. The 8GB memory and 256GB SSD base is the main compromise reviewers flag.

About the Macbook Air 15" (2023) MQKU3PP/A (Starlight)

Questions and answers

Is the 15-inch MacBook Air powerful enough for video editing?
It handles short 4K clips and light editing, but the fanless design and 8GB base memory slow longer exports. Heavy editors are better served by a MacBook Pro with more memory.
How does it compare with the 13-inch MacBook Air M2?
Same chip, ports and design, but the 15-inch adds a larger display and a bigger speaker system. It weighs more, so the 13-inch is easier to carry.
How many external displays can it drive?
With the lid closed it supports one external display up to 6K at 60Hz. With the lid open, the built-in screen counts as the only display.
What is in the box?
The laptop, a 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter and a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable.
Does it have a fan?
No. The MacBook Air is fanless, so it runs silent but throttles under sustained heavy loads.
Is Touch ID included?
Yes. The backlit Magic Keyboard has a Touch ID button for logins and Apple Pay.
