I’d be so up for a 16 inch ‘air’. I so love my M1 Pro Max MacBook, but Christ it...

I checked because I was curious:

2012 15in [1]:

- Height: 0.95 inch (2.41 cm)

- Weight: 5.6 pounds (2.56 kg)

2023 16in M2 [2]:

- Height 0.66 inch (1.68 cm)

- Weight (M2 Pro): 4.7 pounds (2.15 kg)

- Weight (M2 Max): 4.8 pounds (2.16 kg)

Easy to forget how far everything has come.

Really it's where the beefiness always should have been for the performance class / power envelope they are (and have been) targeting.

But yeah, a large screen thin & light seems like an obvious hole in the lineup.

I sympathise. I have a 16in M1 Max, coming from an LG Gram 17. I can't fault the power of it, but the heft isn't ideal for me.

I'd welcome a 15in or 16in Air. The rumour mill suggests a 15in Air is in the works. However, I'm now used to the 120Hz display of the Max, which I suspect wouldn't be an option for the non-pro models...
