The MacBook Air 2018 is Apple's entry-level laptop reinvented, thanks to a modern design and upgraded performance. The new 'Air' has a thinner and lighter profile to better reflect its name, and it still includes that familiar 13.3-inch display size. Best...

We're so happy that Apple has revived the MacBook Air and have a lot of hope for the new model. It looks beautiful and is likely to give the MacBook a real run for its money.In fact, we're not sure why anyone would buy a regular 12in MacBook now that the...

The Apple MacBook Air has always been our favourite Apple laptop. It's a work horse that has been long overdue an update.This update seemingly brings that experience up to speed with the MacBook and the MacBook Pro range, which was much needed, but it doe...
Abstract: Don't rule out an entirely separate launch event for the latest edition of Apple's compact laptop, however. It has happened before, after all.Apple’s September keynote focused on new iPhones, such as the iPhone XR, iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max. That...
Beautiful Retina display, Slim, lightweight design, Speedy macOS experience, Solid battery life, Touch ID security is handy
Very stingy with ports, Not great for resource-intensive games/apps
Air to the throne.As an everyday, ultraportable computer for basic tasks, the MacBook Air is another Apple gem. It's svelte and speedy with a beautiful screen, and the modest processor here does a fine job of running macOS and handling things like web bro...

Abstract: For three years, the MacBook Air was conspicuously absent. The ultraportable never left Apple's site, of course, but we finished keynote after keynote wondering why Apple continued to neglect one of its most popular products, all while overhauling the re...

It's pretty, light, and almost affordable for a Mac,
There are better Mac laptops, and cheaper Windows ones, Apple's decision to go with a 128GB SSD standard is a poor one. Sure Dell sells an XPS 13 with a 128GB SSD, but it also has the sense to charge well under $1,000 for that laptop. Apple meanwhile want
Abstract: December 13th, 2018, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientistThe new MacBook Air is an improvement over the previous MacBook Air models -- especially with the addition of a Retina display. But is it really a better buy than a 13-inch MacBook Pro -- even a used...
Expensive, Only midrange performance, No buildtoorder processor upgrade, No userupgrades or repairs
It may be long overdue, but the 2018 edition of the MacBook Air pulls off a good balancing act. Rather than a ground-up revamp, this new model concentrates on refining the elegant, lightweight design that made the MacBook Air so popular in the first place...
