Gurman suggests that the 15-inch MacBook Air will debut with a processor that is "on par" with the M2 chip powering the 13-inch version. The processor is equipped with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU along with 8GB of RAM.

Additionally, the upcoming laptop will have the same resolution of 3024 x 1964 as the 14-inch MacBook Pro, as seen in the App Store developer logs. According to reports, the MacBook Air 15-inch will sport a 15.5-inch IPS LCD display.

As for the design, we can expect the 15-inch MacBook Air to appear similar to the 13-inch model. The laptop will likely feature a metallic frame. The display will have a notch at the top to house the webcam.
