Ross Young recently talked about OLED screens coming to the 2024 MacBook Air, but there’s something coming before that. According to the same leaker, there will be a new model of MacBook Air with a larger screen It will arrive in a few months.
Young said so in a tweet reserved for his super subscribers (you have to pay to see it), but outlets like MacRumors echoed the news. The screen diagonal of this MacBook Air would be 15.5 inches, very close to the 16 inches of the most powerful MacBook Pros. With the design of the current 13-inch model, this can be striking.
Same features, bigger size: A “Plus” MacBook Air?
This new model is not expected to differ much from its little brother: we would continue to have the same number of ports and features (maybe a bit more power in the chip, but that’s just my guess). And yes, we would still have the notch which already characterizes the company’s entire line of modern laptops.
The panel type would remain LCD for now. Mass production of the computer would begin in the first quarter of 2023, to be able to present and launch it at some point in next spring. A 15-inch MacBook Air would fill an interesting gap in the market: I know several people who have been asking for a big-screen laptop that isn’t a “Pro” for years. Maybe the iPhone 14 Plus has made its mark?
