APPLE MACBOOK AIR 15IN
from £1399 / go.stuff.tv/Air15
The 13-inch MacBook Air is something you’ll see everywhere in college libraries and student haunts, but for all its joys that display size is just a little bit on the small side for serious work – especially creative stuff across multiple apps – or TV streaming and movie watching. The new 15in version is much more fun, and more portable than you might expect. Despite the larger screen it’s quite light and eminently backpackable.
