New MacBook Air 'weighs up' against 15-inch rivals

According to Engadget , the 15-inch MacBook Air is described by Apple as the lightest laptop in the 15-inch segment. The product brings many similarities with the 13-inch MacBook Air launched last year, but adds 2 inches to the screen size to provide more spacious working space.

MacBook Air 15 inch has an expected selling price from 32.89 million VND in Vietnam

Most importantly, the device’s arrival will allow users to buy a modern, large-sized MacBook without having to invest in the more expensive Pro version. It features a Liquid Retina display, Apple’s latest M2 chip, up to 24GB of RAM, and starts at $1,299. It’s currently available for pre-order and will start shipping next week.

However, the 15-inch MacBook Air is not the only choice in the 15-inch laptop market as there are many other products worth considering. Among these, two typical names that can be mentioned are Dell XPS 15 and Asus ZenBook Pro 15. Below is a comparison of hardware specifications between the products to give the most suitable choice for users.
