While the fine points of processor names are probably lost on most Mac buyers, Y-series chips are lower power in performance and energy consumption than their U-series siblings.

It only has one choice of processor, an eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, but it isnвЂ™t the same quad-core U-series processor available in the 13in MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, instead it is a dual-core Y-series chip. The MacBook Air has a relatively unusual mix of hardware for 2018. The MacBook Air as tested had 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The new MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt 3 ports in the left side and a headphone socket in the right.

Processor: dual-core Intel Core i5-8210 Y-series (8th generation)Д¬onnectivity: Intel UHD 617, wifi ac, Bluetooth 4.2, 2x USB-C/Thunderbolt 3, headphone At its thickest part it is also 0.7mm thicker than the MacBook Pro. But it is noticeably heavier than the 921g 12in MacBook or 770g Surface Pro 6 (1.08kg with keyboard attached). Weighing 1.25kg, the Air is about the same as rivals such as MicrosoftвЂ™s Surface Laptop 2 and is slim enough that you donвЂ™t really notice it in a backpack. It is big, smooth, responsive and totally solid, despite the feeling of motion when you push down on it provided by the Taptic Engine haptic motor below it.Д«uild quality is top notch, with no noticeable give or flex in any part of the machine. Everyone should love the trackpad, however, which is the best in the business. It isnвЂ™t my favourite keyboard on a laptop but it is crisp and responsive and I have no problem typing for long periods of time on it. Some will love the keyboard, some will hate it because it is still pretty clicky with minimal key travel. The Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the top right corner of the keyboard is excellent. While the Touch Bar can be useful, many donвЂ™t like it and most will probably be happy the MacBook Air does not have it. In the top right is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which is noticeably faster than AppleвЂ™s previous iterations, but instead of a Touch Bar you have regular F keys. The MacBook Air has AppleвЂ™s third-generation butterfly keyboard, a large force-touch trackpad and speakers drilled into either side. Gone are the large grey bezels around the 13.3in screen from the Air, replaced with thinner black borders as used on other Apple laptops. Open it up and essentially what you are looking at is the screen and deck of a MacBook Pro without Touch Bar. USB-C is the industry standard port of the moment, with Thunderbolt 3 adding much greater capacity and future proofing, but the lack of an SD card reader is disappointing. Gone, too, are the old selection of ports from the Air, reduced to only two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports and one headphone socket.
