(The differences? The Air’s F-key row uses half-height keys compared to the desktop keyboards, and its bottom row of keys is ever-so-slightly shorter.) There’s also the large, Multi-Touch trackpad that’s ideal for using gestures in OS-it remains the best trackpad I’ve used on any laptop-and an LED-backlit, widescreen, glossy display surrounded by an aluminum bezel.

The company turbocharged the Air last year by upgrading to Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and adding a Thunderbolt port.įlip open the screen, and you reveal a full-size, backlit keyboard-even on the 11-inch model-that uses the same low-profile, flat keys as Apple’s current desktop keyboards.

In 2010, Apple gave the Air its biggest update by adding a second USB port, improving performance, standardizing on flash storage, lowering prices, and-in the biggest move of all-releasing a road-warrior-dream 11-inch model priced at just $999. The third generation got faster and cheaper. The Air itself has also evolved: The second iteration gained some speed, better video capabilities, and more storage.

It’s safe to say that before long, all of Apple’s laptops will be direct descendants of the Air.

As Jason Snell wrote at the time, “laptop design has always been about compromise,” and the original Air required some painful compromises.īut that Air also gave us a glimpse at the future of Mac laptops: incredibly thin, blissfully light, and surprisingly sturdy, with reliable, fast, flash storage-attributes that have made their way into Apple’s Pro laptop line with the new MacBook Pro with Retina display ( ). At the time, it was revolutionary in terms of its size and weight, but it also was slow, had little storage, had only a single USB port for expansion, and was very expensive-it started at $1799, and if you wanted solid-state storage, the price increased dramatically (by $999!). I'm happy enough to work with the old style TB2 and USB3/TypeA for now and keep using my 3+ magsafe2 power supplies.Believe it or not, it’s been nearly four and a half years since Apple released the original MacBook Air. Plus the feedback from people I work with on how little the touch bar does for them and currently how annoying USB-C is.

If I had to pay full RRP ($1500-1800 depending on SSD size) then I may have held off a bit, but getting a discount on a brand new machine seems to tip the scales for me. It's worked pretty well (and I'm typing this post on it now. I'll hang onto it in the current state to have as a spare/backup or test machine though. I really didn't want to deal with ordering another battery, plus a SSD on the MBP. and macfixit has a 480G SSD kit for another $600ish. The Air itself with deals on ebay came in under A$1000. I'm going to appreciate the Air being lighter and I'd be pretty happy with 6h battery life (compared to 3h and dropping). but I honestly can't tell the difference. I realise I miss out in going from Retina -> non Retina. I've looked at replacing the battery (I get 2.5-3 hours now) and instead bit the bullet and ordered a 2017 Macbook Air. I have a fully upgraded Macbook Pro Retina w/ 2.9Ghz i7 w/ 256G SSD. I'm going through exactly the same thought process.
