Apple’s latest MacBook Air comes with a ton of upgrades on both the inside and out—which explains the price increase. Starting with the design, the company officially ditched the signature wedge form factor for a boxier chassis. It comes in two new colors, as well—midnight and starlight—in addition to the traditional space gray and silver options. The display is also bigger and brighter and comes equipped with an updated webcam. Coming in at 13.6-inches (up from 13.3-inches on its predecessor), the Liquid Retina panel has thinner borders, screen brightness of 500 nits, and a notch that houses a 1080p sensor.
Apple didn’t throw in additional ports, but the MacBook Air did get the same MagSafe treatment as the high-end MacBook Pro models. Now you can attach the power cable magnetically to the laptop to charge it—freeing up both Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports. The MacBook also comes with support for fast charging if you purchase the 67-watt USB-C power adapter. Apple claims it can power the MacBook up to 57 percent in only 30 minutes.
