Apple’s 15inchMacBookAir comes with a familiar problem that proves Apple still hasn’t learned from its past mistakes. Here’s what you need to know.
The 15-inch MacBook Air may be a new chapter for Apple’s thin and light laptop, but it seems to be repeating a disappointing mistake that we’ve seen way too often in the company’s products. If you want to configure it with the fastest SSD possible without breaking the bank, we’ve got some bad news.
15" MacBook Air Teardown: I CAN'T Believe Apple did THIS Why is this a problem? Well, with just one NAND chip, SSD performance is drastically reduced. While Max Tech hasn’t yet released any testing on the latest MacBook Air, benchmark results for previous models showed a stark difference. Recommended Videos The good news is that the SSD issue only affects the entry level MacBook Air with 256GB of storage. If you bump up the storage capacity to 512GB, 1TB or 2TB, you won’t run into these problems since Apple uses two NAND chips on all of these models.
The MacBook Air is aimed at everyday consumers and not pro users, and for your average laptop buyer, it’ll still feel plenty fast. It’s more of a problem in the MacBook Pro — slashing SSD speeds in a laptop presented as a professional’s dream machine just feels plain wrong.
