During this week’s WWDC 2023 event, Apple unveiled the latest addition to their Air lineup – the 15-inch MacBook Air. This model is the largest Air device produced by the company and is equipped with the M2 chipset, which was released last year. With the Pro, Max, and new Ultra M2 chips now available, there are three options to choose from.

But coming back to the 15-inch MacBook Air, you have a big screen but it comes at a cost (like all other Apple products) and you have to pay Rs 1,34,900 to buy the basic version in India. 1,29,900 for students. It will be available in the country from June 13.

Apple claims it weighs 1.5kg, is 11.5mm thick and has a battery life of 18 hours. Now, when you talk about buying MacBooks, their price level has increased over the past few years. The base price of the MacBook Air is now over Rs 1 lakh in the country. But if you still need a reliable machine, people find it worth the investment.

Despite this, the launch of the 15-inch MacBook Air has made it clear that the first-generation M1 chipset with the MacBook Air and 13-inch screen is still the best value for money MacBook on the market. Let’s be honest, how many of you really need the extra power of the M2 chipset? Do you do a lot of heavy editing? Do you use professional tools to connect an external display to your Mac? Do you manage heavy applications that need raw power?

If you don’t identify with either of these positions, the MacBook Air M2, both 13-inch and 15-inch models, with prices starting at Rs 1,14,900 in the country, is definitely not worth the extra Rs 30-40,000. for your use.

There is the M1 MacBook Air which can be bought for as low as Rs 72,000 across various channels in India for the 8GB + 256GB variant. Some argue that the M1 is not powerful enough for video editing and other standard tasks, but from our experience with the M1 MacBook, we can say that the 8GB RAM version would easily be enough for most users. And so this is probably the best time to buy M1 MacBook Air in India, especially if you are upgrading from a Windows machine.
