Thus, we will not discuss the case, connectivity, and its input devices in this review and would like to refer you to our MacBook Air 13 2015 review instead. It has only recently been bumped to 1.8 GHz and equipped with a faster 128 GB SSD, but is otherwise identical to its predecessor. We have picked the basic entry-level model for $999 for our test. Convincing people to purchase this particular notebook in 2017 is a feat that only Apple is capable of pulling off. Kudos to Apple though, for keeping the Air around for yet another year, and thereby satisfying the still surprisingly high demand and, most importantly, managing to continue selling it at a high profit. It thus makes sense that Apple has refrained from making a public announcement of what can only be described as continued life support for its Air lineup. Unfortunately, at this price it does not include an IPS panel with decent viewing angles, and even lacks Apple’s Force Touch touchpad. At only $999, the MacBook Air with its 13.3-display (1440x900), 1.8 GHz dual-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a whopping 128 GB SSD is a true steal (this sentence may contain traces of irony).

Still, the Air is the most affordable path into Apple’s universe. Most probably, this is due to their recent product strategy. It almost seems as if Apple is making final preparations for the MacBook Air’s retirement rather than upgrading it from the bottom up. And with that, all hope for a higher resolution display is gone. Without much ado, Apple’s oldest piece of hardware has been quietly updated. For the original German review, see here.
