After its resurrection a few years ago, the MacBook Air has reclaimed its throne as Apple’s cheapest laptop, but this new version drives home that price isn’t everything anyway. It’s also simply one of the most useable laptops you can buy, and nails the core stuff that makes a laptop a comfortable, reliable companion.
It starts from £999/$999, which is the model we’re testing. That’s a price drop compared to previous versions, but nothing has been cut for that – in fact, there have been various upgrades.
The base model includes 256GB of storage instead of the 128GB that the last Air came with. Meanwhile, the next model up, which costs £1,299/$1,299, gives you a quad-core processor instead of dual-core, and doubles the storage to 512GB.
Both models come with 8GB of RAM, which is fine for standard use, but if you want to really future proof it, or plan to work with very large documents, stepping up to 16GB (the maximum) would be a safe plan.
