Despite skepticism over whether the 15inchMacBookAir is worth your cash, new testing shows a whole bunch of ways it outperforms Apple’s 13-inch model.
When Apple launched the 15-inch MacBook Air at its Worldwide Developers Conference , it seemed like there wasn’t too much separating it from its 13-inch sibling. Yet a new set of tests has shown that the larger model pulls ahead in some key ways, making it a much more attractive purchase if you want maximum performance in a slimline laptop.
Related Notably, the SSD performance was near-identical across both MacBook Air models. Since Max Tech was using the base 256GB versions of Apple’s laptop, that meant they both came with a single NAND chip. As we’ve seen before, this can impact storage speeds compared to the higher-capacity models, which use two NAND chips. In Max Tech’s testing, though, the 15-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs were neck and neck.
That assumption was borne out in Max Tech’s benchmark results. During an extended Cinebench R23 stress test, the 15-inch MacBook Air was able to keep around seven degrees cooler, according to Max Tech. Not only that, but the larger device was able to maintain a higher clock sped as a result of this better cooling. And when the 15-inch model’s temperature rose to parity with the 13-inch MacBook Air, it was still able to preserve its higher clock speeds.
