Since its debut 10 years ago, the MacBook Air has been popular with users. Even if other brands of laptops have been upgraded, Apple has never removed many of its products.
I still remember that four years ago, Xiaobian was friends with Amway Apple MacBook Air (2014 version) this laptop, nowadays, at this moment, Xiaobian is also using it, the device is very smooth and clear. I like it more.
Every year, Apple brings its new MacBook Air laptop. At the Apple conference on the evening of October 30th, Apple introduced the product called “the most environmentally friendly” in history – 2018 MacBook Air . How is environmental protection? It is reported that this notebook is made of 100% recycled aluminum alloy material, and is also equipped with Intel’s eighth-generation i5 processor.
What are the upgrades to the new MacBook Air? A reporter from Forbes magazine conducted a preliminary assessment.
Display upgrade to IPS
The latest MacBook Air is equipped with a 2560×1600 resolution display, which is consistent with other notebooks. In addition, the display has also been changed from the previous 1440 × 900 TN screen to IPS, IPS images have higher stability and close to sRGB 100% color, the visual feeling is significantly higher than the old models.
Lightweight and easy to carry
The new laptop body is also made of aluminum. And compared to the old MacBook Air, the weight is reduced by 100g, the weight of 1.25kg and the thickness of 15.6mm is suitable for those who value portability, but the above does not represent the thinnest standard of the current notebook. Further, weight and thickness are critical to the performance of the hardware.
Color matching options
The new MacBook Air laptop comes in three colors to choose from, silver, space gray, and new gold.
Very good connectivity
The new MacBook Air interface has been replaced with a USB Type-C that supports charging and data connectivity. The two USB Type-Cs on the left support lightning 3, and the 3.5mm interface is reserved on the right, but the SDXC card slot is removed.
Under the shallow design, Apple also replaced the butterfly keyboard and the Force Touch trackpad. Unfortunately, there is no Touch Bar above the keyboard. The foreign media said that it is difficult to show the honor.
Long battery life
Apple previously said that the new MacBook Air’s 50.3Wh battery can continue to access the Internet for 12 hours. Apple’s power is that their laptop’s actual battery life is likely to be much higher than the nominal battery life. Need to pay attention, the old MacBook Air battery capacity is 54Wh battery, um, right, low-power processor is a meritorious service in this regard.
Super T2 coprocessor
The new MacBook Air also uses Apple’s T2 coprocessor, which was created to handle hardware performance not available with Intel CPUs, including Hey Siri, FaceTime image processing, hardware video encoding, Touch ID security zones, and more. At the same time, the T2 coprocessor also includes impressive high-speed SSD reading and writing. Due to the deep customization of hardware and functions, the T2 design is actually much simpler, and it may also prepare Apple for the development of independent chips.
In short, the new generation of MacBook Air has been upgraded and upgraded in terms of value, performance, battery life and even interface. The price/performance ratio is also the highest. Therefore, friends who have been watching silently can start.
