MacBook Air: Australian Price, Specs And Release Date
The new MacBook Air is priced at $1,199 for its standard edition, available in gold, silver, and space gray. There's also a headphone jack.
The "ultimate iPad" has 25% less volume, nearly 4 million pixels and comes in 11 inches and 12.9 inches. On the top right side of that keyboard, you'll also find a Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Yeah, we had the 12in MacBook, but that was an exercise in compromise, and Apple revealed a "new" 13in MacBook Air back in 2014.
Unfortunately, Apple has only included two USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 3) in this product.
The new MacBook Air will be available with an Intel 8th Gen Core i5 processor with built-in graphics, and up to 16GB of 2133MHz DDR4 RAM. It weighs 1.25kg, which is over 100g lighter than the previous version. The trackpad is now the new Force Touch trackpad that's 20% larger, and offers haptic feedback.
Apple at an early morning press event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in NY unveiled a smattering of new hardware including a long overdue update to the MacBook Air. Every MacBook Air is now made from 100% recycled aluminum, reducing its carbon footprint by 50%.
Meanwhile, Apple's new MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch Retina Display and comes with Touch ID support.

However, Riyadh maintains that the murder had nothing to do with the Saudi Royal family, describing it as a rogue operation. Later, Riyadh said the killing was premeditated and Prince Mohammed has vowed that the killers would be brought to justice.
That Touch ID sensor with T2 security chip, built into the new butterfly mechanism keyboard, seems very well executed, and for such a take-anywhere system, makes flawless sense.
The MacBook Air was refreshed with faster processors a year ago. That has left users and businesses hanging on to old machines for longer than expected, who Applehope will jump to purchase the new MacBook Air.
The all-new MacBook Air 2 has been priced at $1199 and it is up for pre-order from today.
The new MacBook Air has a backlit keyboard with individual lighting behind each key, based on the third-generation Butterfly mechanism that's said to be 4 times more stable.
The old MacBook Air stays in the line. Apple says that the battery will last 13 hours while playing movies on iTunes, or 12 hours while browsing the web. It features SSDs up to 1.5TB in capacity, that are up to 60 percent faster.
The new MacBook Air is even smaller, having shrunk 17 percent in volume, just 15.6mm, a full 10 percent thinner. With a starting price of $1,199, the point of entry to this Retina Air is now $200 more than it was before. MacBook batteries tend to perform very well, but we'll still need to get our hands on it to properly test that statement out for ourselves.
