LAPTOP SPECIAL.... Reinvent the laptop with new specs

Reinvent the laptop with new specs

The new notebook will impress you with retina display, Touch ID, Force Touch trackpad and more

Apple has launched an allnew MacBook Air in 2018. Though it’s received plenty of internal upgrades over the years, Apple hadn’t touched the MacBook Air design since 2010. Eight years later, Tim Cook called the MacBook Pro ‘the most beloved Mac ever’, and announced its first real hardware upgrade in years. If you are on the fence planning to buy the new MacBook Air, here are six reasons to consider Apple’s latest ultrathin laptop:

1. It’s the first MacBook Air with a retina display

The retina display does change the entire computing experience. The text is sharp and clear. Everything looks like it was painted directly onto the screen.

2. It has Touch ID, so you can unlock your Mac, or even make purchases, with just your fingerprint

The fingerprint scanner lets you unlock your computer, access any locked data, and even make purchases without needing to enter a password. And if you have Apple Pay set up, Touch ID will automatically enter the correct shipping and billing information without sharing your credit card details.

3. Apple made some big improvements to your input controls

The MacBook Air’s keyboard has been redesigned to be more stable, comfortable, and responsive. And the trackpad, where you can click, scroll, pinch and zoom, is 20 per cent larger than it was on the last MacBook Air.

4. It has updated internals, including eighth-generation Intel processors

The new Air has a slightly improved battery life — about an extra hour or so, and there’s the option to purchase up to 16 GB of RAM.

5. The device features USB-C, the nextgeneration standard for charging and data transfer

The new MacBook Air comes with two USB-C ports, which you can use to charge the device, connect external storage devices, power external displays, or even charge your other devices like iPhones and iPads.

6. The new MacBook Air sounds better than before

The notebook has stereo speakers that feature improved bass and get 25 per cent louder than the speakers in the previous MacBook Air. It also features three microphones, which helps for dictation, Siri, or your video calls.
