What reviewers said about the MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 2023)

What reviewers raise

A count of the reviews we quote on this page that have a quote on each topic, from the findings shown below. A review may say more on a topic than we quote, so it counts what is quoted here, not everything each review covers, and it says how often a topic is quoted, not what was said about it. Battery, performance and heat are counted over the 3 reviews of this exact model.

• 1 of the 3 exact-model reviews we quote mentions battery life
• 2 of the 5 reviews we quote mention display
• 1 of the 5 reviews we quote mentions keyboard and trackpad
• 1 of the 5 reviews we quote mentions speakers
• 1 of the 5 reviews we quote mentions ports

Where reviewers and Apple differ

No reviewer’s own figure on this page can be set beside an Apple claim for the same kind of test, so nothing is compared here.

The reviews

Newest first, in the order of the date each article prints (which may be an update date, not a first-publication date). Each quote links to its article; the date is the one the article prints, labelled as the article labels it. “Published” and “Updated” appear only where the article prints that word beside the date; “Dated” means the article prints that date with no label, so the date itself does not say whether it is the first publication or an update. A later update that an article mentions only in an editor’s note is not used as its date.
