For those having the latest 15" Macbook Air, does it usually fit in cases with pockets for 14" laptops?

I wonder if the neo sales are hurting air sales this is aggressive discounting

It's an interesting point. I suspect there are a LOT of base Air buyers that have been pulled over to the Neo.

My prediction is that Apple will lean in and make a 15" Neo at some point.

For a lot of laptop users, just having some more screen space is all they need.
The "iPhone chips" are going to serve their needs quite well.
 
The Air is the best laptop. Not just the best Apple laptop, but the best laptop. I know I sound like an Apple marketeer, but it is. Especially in this market.
 
With these discounts, it is an absolute no-brainer to get the 13 M5 Air (512gb) vs the 512gb Neo. It is a $250 difference for way more computer. Yes, it is $250 but anyone can save $250 from unnecessary purchases in a year to make that up.

FWIW, I don't have a current 15" MacBook Air, but I do have an M2 Air, which I think is almost exactly the same size-wise as the current M5 version.

I also happen to have a 14" Amazon Basics computer bag, and the Air will fit in there, but it is very tight.
