Seems like pretty positive reception to the new MacBook Air M2 15"! Compared to the 13", it looks to have slightly better performance, a little better battery, better speakers, and obviously the bigger screen.

For those that still want the smaller 13”, you can spec up the specs to match the 15. The downfall is you’re spending $100 more for a smaller laptop so it’s really targeted for those not wanting to carry around the 15”.
I just received my 15” today, and I’m honestly debating sizing down to the 13” instead. The 15” is just very big, and it slightly bothers me how big the trackpad is. My watch ends up getting caught on the edge of the laptop as I reach for the keys. Seems like small stuff, but figure I may as well get what I want if I’m spending so much.
Anyone else prefer the 13 over 15?
I prefer the smaller fit that very reason. The only thing that the larger provides is a larger screen. But sometimes the sacrifice of the screen is outweighed by the other factors.
I have 13 for work, pretty small but got used to it.
I was considering the 14 for myself, but it feels super bulky, nothing like the 13 due to different shape. Also heavier. The screen is nice but just feels too big after the 13.
