Does not hold charge and is slow, slow, slow. I hate this computer and it's too late to return it. Waste of money and so frustrating to spend 1500 buck on a worthless product. Hope I can find someone who builds computers who can help me fix issues.

For a machine that provides such a visually enjoyable user experience, we really wanted the MacBook Air to deliver under the hood too. However, the poor battery life and intermittently sluggish performance were hard to ignore and, when compared to other rivals in its class, it's difficult to justify...
Beautiful Retina display; Superb keyboard; Visually stunning design
Lacklustre battery life under load; Performance doesn't stack up to rivals in its field
The MacBook Air 2018 features Intel's 8th gen Core-i5 processor, 8GB RAM and a gorgeous retina display with a resolution of 2560x1600 and it packs all this into a smaller and lighter chassis than its predecessor
Weighs lesser than before; Gorgeous; colour accurate display; Great battery life
No 16GB RAM variant available in India; Two Thunderbolt 3 ports not enough
The fan is blowing on this brand-new MacBook Air with Retina Display. It's a familiar sound: a computer trying to cool down a processor that's being overtaxed by one of the eight or so apps I have running. (In this case, it's TweetDeck going rogue.
Retina Display; Touch ID; Great new trackpad; Superb build quality
Display doesn't get super bright; Not a huge speed upgrade; USB-C ecosystem still a hassle; For $100 more; you can get a more powerful 13-inch MacBook Pro or smaller 12-inch MacBook
It's over a decade since the very first MacBook Air went to market, heralding in the era of the ultra-thin notebook. Indeed, it was the thinnest available at the time. But oh how times move fast and the MacBook Air had been becoming something of a relic; a laptop surrounded by Windows-based...
High-res ‘Retina' display with smaller bezel than previous Air models; Large trackpad with Force Touch control; Touch ID login via fingerprint is great; Smaller and lighter footprint adds to appeal
Loud and sometimes unresponsive keyboard; Only Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports and no SD card slot; Confuses the MacBook/Air/Pro lineup; No Face ID; Strong Windows 10 competition now
Apple has repeatedly described the MacBook Air as the most popular Mac in its lineup, with years of neglect leaving some intimidatingly large shoes for the new 2018 upgrade to fill.
Current Hardware; MacBook Air; Mac; Review; reviews
I was so confused about which laptop to buy, I went around getting loads of advice, annoyed with myself because I kept coming back to apple (don't like the price) It simple to use, easy to use with all my other apple products, 2 year guarantee in JL swung it for me and also knowing I can get free...
Great product worth the money without a question after all it is a Mac and the retina display is amazing. Strong suggestion spend the extra money and get the larger hard drive. Costco benefit is 2 year warrantee not standard Apple 1 year also priced at the Apple education level which saves about...
Editor's note, Nov. 16 : Originally published Nov. 6, this review has been updated with final benchmark and battery life scores, as well as a review rating. Apple's MacBook Air has gotten a much-needed reboot, keeping the name, but changing just about everything else, both outside and in.
The MacBook is now smaller and lighter, with a better display, faster processors and a bigger touchpad; The MacOS experience and all-day battery are still big selling points
The starting price has shot up significantly, despite sticking with dual-core CPUs; The shallow butterfly keyboard and limited ports may feel like a step back from the previous Air
Ultimately, if you must have a macOS machine for casual use, the MacBook Air will not let you down. More capable than the 12-inch MacBook, with its single I/O port, and less expensive than the MacBook Pro, this laptop offers a thoroughly excellent experience for performing casual computing tasks and...
