In order to maintain the lightness and thinness of the 15 inch MacBook Air, Apple has adopted a passive cooling design. Foreign technology media WccFtech believes that this performance may lead to poor cooling performance and affect its operational performance.

The overall weight of the 15 inch MacBook Air is 22% heavier than the 13 inch model, mainly due to its use of all aluminum alloy, which greatly increases weight.

The Verge, a foreign technology media, stated in the evaluation that after running the 15 inch MacBook Air for a period of time, although it did not reach an unusable level, the keyboard part did indeed become hot, affecting the user experience.

The evaluation content is as follows:

"During use, users can feel the heat, which is mainly concentrated near the function keys. Users can input normally, but it affects the input experience. If you often need to export videos, you need to pay attention to this point.

The Apple 15 inch MacBook Air, like the 13 inch MacBook Air, is not equipped with a fan, but has more space for cooling. Overall, compared to the 13 inch MacBook Pro, the 15 inch MacBook Air, which is also equipped with an M2 chip, does not show significant performance differences.

"

The media speculates that Apple intentionally did not equip MacBook Air with fans for cooling, making it easier for users to distinguish between MacBook Pro product lines and allowing users with performance needs to choose Pro products.
