Over at The Verge, Dan Seifert has a hands-on with the new notebook:
Apple just announced the new MacBook Air 15, a 15-inch version of the most popular laptop in the world. I just saw it in person. As you can probably guess, it’s just like the smaller MacBook Air, but now it’s bigger.
There were literally no surprises from the hands-on. It feels just like the 13.5-inch model from last year. It’s thinner and lighter and less dense than a 16-inch MacBook Pro, as you’d expect, with a screen that isn’t as nice. It does have six speakers, but I didn’t get to test them.
Sounds exactly like what a lot of folks wanted. I have a friend and a family member both ordering new notebooks today.
Apple has a video up showing off the new computer:
