The new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air from Apple does not feature a cooling fan, relying instead on an inefficient heat spreader. Despite being 22% heavier than the 13-inch model, the larger MacBook Air still lacks an active cooling solution, which can result in a thermally inefficient system. The all-aluminum casing adds to the weight, but improves build quality. The MacBook Air's keyboard gets hot, but the rise in temperatures does not make it unusable. Consumers interested in this version should only do so for the increased screen real estate, not because of notable upgrades.
