On March 24, according to Ross Young, CEO of screen supply chain consulting company DSCC, Apple will launch two new MacBook Air next year, one with a 13.3-inch mini-LED screen and one with a 15-inch screen.
This 13.3-inch mini-LED screen MacBook Air has been exposed earlier, and there is no more to say here, the key is the 15-inch MacBook Air. Since its inception, the MacBook Air has come in two versions, one is on sale 13.3 inches, and the other is the 11.6 inches that have been discarded.
Now that the iPad Pro is starting at 11 inches, the small laptop market is sure to get smaller and smaller. Of course, as far as the current user needs are concerned, 13.3 inches is enough for office, but Apple needs to meet the diversified needs of users.
We can take a look at the Windows laptop market, which basically covers 13 inches to 17.3 inches, the small size is the thin and light office version, and the large size is the game book and the designer book. The reason why there are so many sizes to choose from is because everyone's needs are different. A programmer friend around Xiao Lei needs to buy a computer, and I recommended him 14 inches because of the high portability, but he thinks that 16 inches has a wider field of view and does not want a small screen.
The main use of Apple computers is office, so the demand for portability is higher, in general, 14 inches and below the size of the laptop, portability will be relatively high, easy to tuck into the backpack. For sizes of 15.6 inches and above, the size of the backpack needs to be measured. The new MacBook Air chooses 15 inches, which is already relatively large in the office book.
In addition, the smaller the screen of the device, the smaller the picture, word spacing, font will be smaller, if not manually adjusted, when watching the content in the screen, vision needs to be more concentrated, more likely to cause eye fatigue. Considering all, Apple's launch of the large-screen MacBook Air meets the market demand.
Finally, talking about the price, Xiao Lei took a look at the Windows market, and the price difference between 14 inches and 15.6 inches of thin and light books is very small, and some even have the same price. However, according to Apple's usual style, the 15-inch MacBook Air will definitely be much more expensive than the current 13.3-inch MacBook Air.
Coupled with the new 13.3-inch MacBook Air to be on the mini-LED screen, Xiao Lei believes that the overall price of Apple laptops will rise a lot next year. Of course, macbook air 2023 is released, that has been released for several years MacBook Air 2020 always has to reduce the price, right?
