MacBook Air 15-inch M2 review: Performance Still, the overall sound quality is improved from the 13-inch Air. Bass sounded punchy but not as powerful as on the MacBook Pro 16-inch 2021. All of those disparate elements came through perfectly. I played Dream Theater’s “Alien” at full volume and was impressed by the overall clarity of the song - which has numerous time signature changes and a flurry of guitar and keyboard solos. Sound-wise, this laptop is almost on par with the latest MacBook Pros - which also feature a 6-speaker sound system. The latter’s 4-speaker sound system was pretty good, but the new laptop’s speakers blow it away. One of the most notable upgrades this laptop has over its 13-inch counterpart is its 6-speaker sound system. With regard to non-HDR brightness, the panel averaged 473 nits of brightness - making it brighter than the XPS 15 OLED (371 nits). These values are a smidge lower than the 13-inch model, which was just one point shy of reaching 500 nits of HDR brightness. When viewing HDR content, the laptop got as high as 479 nits of brightness when displaying HDR content on 10% of the display and 480 nits for 100% of the screen. The MacBook Air’s panel can get fairly bright. Both laptops did better in the Delta-E test compared to the XPS 15 OLED (0.24). Regarding color accuracy, the 15-inch MacBook Air turned in a Delta-E score of 0.17 (where 0 is best), compared to the 0.22 its 13-inch counterpart delivered.
