Yes, the 12-inch MacBook is still the lightest at 0.92kg, but it’s still impressive how Apple manage to make something so light, yet feel solid and robust at the same time. It’s lost a little fat too compared to the 2017 model, shaving off 10 grams to bring it down to just 1.25kg.
The trackpad has also been made larger too, which adds to the comfort. The end result is the best of both worlds, as the 2018 Air retains the tapered keyboard of the 2017 Air model, over the chunky base of the Pro, which keen typists can attest is burden on the wrists during long sessions. While you don’t get the fancy Touch Bar here, you do get a single, unassuming black pad that will read your fingerprint, and is used for logging in, confirming purchases, and pretending you’re Ethan Hunt.Įlsewhere, Apple has somehow made the Air even thinner and lighter, while taking design points from the Pro. It’s begging to be picked up and played with, and that’s even truer now with the introduction of the Touch ID, which has trickled down from the MacBook Pro model. This is no more true than when you have the thing in your hands. Its become harder for them in recent years, with other manufacturers aping their style, and yet the 2018 MacBook Air still retains its crown as an impeccably designed laptop.
Whether it’s the original compact design of the Macintosh Plus, or the Jolly Rancher-inspired luminous bubble that is the Mac G3, Apple makes things that stand out and are visually appealing.
Throughout its history, Apple has been well regarded for its design.
