15” MacBook Air Teardown: Hype or Hot Air? 😮💨
The M2 MacBook Air has grown up and has a 15” summer bod to show off, with a hefty 22% more bulk, 26% more pixels, and a mere .2 mm increase in thickness. No butterfly keyboard, extra speakers, huge trackpad, and all-day battery life—plus speedy charging with a 65 W adapter—and you’re ready for a day at the beach. But sand, as we all know, is rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere—so let’s see just how repairable the MacBook Air 15” truly is.
