"Exploring the 15-inch MacBook Air: Apple's Latest Consumer Laptop"
TL;DR Summary
Apple executives Kate Bergeron and Laura Metz have revealed in an interview with Tom's Guide that the biggest challenge in engineering the 15-inch MacBook Air was ensuring its structural soundness and durability. The company decided to expand the MacBook Air lineup due to competition and demand, and chose the 15.3-inch display size after working closely with the display team to optimize the number of panels that could fit on the motherboard glass. The goal was initially to make the 15-inch as thin as the 13-inch MacBook Air, but the team had to focus on reliability performance and durability over the larger screen size.
