Over the years, I’ve owned several MacBook Airs. I’ve always loved them. The machine’s portability is its killer feature, of course. But now, with Apple silicon, performance is fantastic, too.

Apple’s chips are so powerful, even a consumer-oriented machine like the Air can perform like a champ.

Apple is poised to release a new version with a 15-inch screen in as little as two weeks. It’ll be the biggest non-pro MacBook the company has ever made. Here’s everything we know about the big-screen MacBook Air ahead of its launch.
