if this will come with M3...then the imac alsoiMac fans will be so salty if this comes with M3 and the iMac is still on M1. Surely they'll either stick with the M2 or put out a new iMac first.

I think it will be an ideal size. Bigger screen = More productivity. A lightweight design would be ideal for so many people day to day use. Especially when it comes to traveling.. Sheeesh it's just perfect!I don't see much point of a 15" air. Why?
Apple discontinued the 15" Macbook Pro ( for a 16" version), now there's going to be a 15" Air?
The M3 is expected to be a 3nm chip. Rumours suggest it will be 30% more power efficient and offer a much bigger jump in single & multi-core performance than M1>M2 did.Can someone explain why the Mac will not have a 4 nm chip? The current iPhone 14 Pro has a 4 nm chip, and the Mac has always been one generation behind. Why would Apple skip the 4 nm chip for Mac?
This 💯3nm 12 inch MacBook pls
Starts at M2 instead of M2 Pro (might have M2 Pro option, but no M2 Max option), only one external display officially supported, less airflow (throttles quicker), thinner, lighter, less battery life, and, yes, less ports, but don't forget screen quality won't be as good either.Given the increased screen size, what will be the different between a 15" MacBook Air and a 16" MacBook Pro besides a slightly smaller screen? Less ports? Thinner?

Plenty of differentiation.

Unless you want/need the Pro for it's performance, then many would like the largest screen in lightest package, that's what the Air 15 will bring - just larger form factor with a bit more battery and more air inside to cool it, that's it.What I push back is the huge demand part?
I‘m sure there are people who want a thin and light MacBook with a larger screen… but I don’t see the demand being that large enough to sway people to choose the 14” MBP.
Maybe, I’m out of the loop… but I don’t see the 14“ MBP being that heavy to lose out on the extra ports (along with the better display).
1599 would probably be the lowest. 1400 is probably a pipe dream.Unless you want/need the Pro for it's performance, then many would like the largest screen in lightest package, that's what the Air 15 will bring - just larger form factor with a bit more battery and more air inside to cool it, that's it.
I'd expect price $1400-1600 base model, weight more than 13" AIR but not closer to 14MBP.
I switched from 13" Air to Acer Swift Edge 16" for travel/games etc, the speakers and battery are worse of course, but 16" glossy OLED in 1.1kg body for web and streaming (that can also play Windows games) is a great experience. The 15" AIR will be that different size/weight/screen ratio in Apple world.
I suspect Covid supply chain disruptions threw them for a loop and that they’re getting back on track. It was over 18 months from the M1 to the M2 but only 14 months from the M1 Pro/Max to the M2 Pro/Max. Many credible rumor providers have said Apple wants the M series on an annual update schedule similar to the A series, but the events of the last two years threw a wrench into that.Apple needs to have a better cadence in Mac releases. Things seem all over the map in terms of timing
Maybe if the keyboard had a number pad - it would be acceptable but bulky and defeating idea of the otherwise light, agile "air".I don't see much point of a 15" air. Why?

Ready to sell my 2019 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar the day this is released. Hopefully battery life will be improved.
Yes have a reasonably priced base and then let people pay for higher tiersI do really wish Apple would allow for upcharge to nice screen tech for those who want it.
A ProMotion screen (high refresh rate) isn't some out of the realm tech achievement that necessitates a Pro machine otherwise.
