After our time with the new MacBook Air, we are still struggling with the verdict. Besides the device itself, you also have to consider Apple's other laptops, especially the two 13-inch MacBook Pro models. But let's start with the new Air first.

high quality case; good screen; 2x USB-C w/ Thunderbolt 3; long battery runtime; great touchpad; Touch-ID fingerprint scanner; often silent operation; very good speakers; decent everyday performance

comparatively low CPU performance; display is not as good as on the MacBook Pros; only USB-C and stereo jack; fan is way too loud for this level of performance; long charging time; old Wi-Fi module without Bluetooth 5.0; no SD reader; very high prices for storage upgrades

The Apple MacBook Air (2018) delivers the much-anticipated update into the already excellent premium line of thin-and-light laptops, backed by new features, better design and solid components that will make Apple Fans happy.

I'm going to let you in on a secret: In the lead-up to Apple's big Mac-and-iPad event last month, Team Engadget had a prewritten story ready to go in the event that Apple finally killed off the Air line. Needless to say, that article never saw the light of day.

Apple's lightest and slimmest notebook ever, Air, finally gets the retina update that Apple users have been waited long for. It was a decade ago when Steve Jobs shocked Apple fans after he pulled out the slimmest laptop out of an envelope on stage.

I bought this last week, and haven't had a great deal of time to use it. But because I am so confident on Apple's guarantees, I have no worry about quality. I hadn't had a laptop for a while as I have the I pad Pro, so it has been refreshing to be able to type on a quality light touch keyboard...

Arrived our first macbook today unfotunately its faulty, no power at all despite charging it for almost 5 hours, rang apple but cant help us and apple suggest to return it back where we ordered it.... gutted.

I already own a 15 MacBook Pro 2015 and have never had a problem but I wanted something much lighter for traveling and love this new MacBook Air. With iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox, it makes it easy to work across both laptops. Delivery from B&H was quick and came on time as expected via FedEx.

Went back and forth on whether to buy this MacBook Air, so glad I did, easy to set up and use, knocks the socks off my older version . Quick responses good quality graphics . Recommended highly as far as I'm concerned

Always when buying computers I'm skeptical. But, here at the Microcenter they ensured that all my needs were me, helping me find a macbook that was best fit for me and my needs. The computer was brand new and everything came nicely packaged in the original mac box with plastic.

"I use AO for everything and this is my 4th major purchase from them. The laptop arrived as promised with regular updates so I could hide it. The box was well wrapped and the driver was courteous. The laptop is as photographed and the colour is beautiful. Very stylish and classy.
