Verge Review
Apple’s MacBook Air was initially an expensive luxury, but with an update in 2010 became an affordable, excellent machine. It’s light, well-made, and relatively powerful, and it’s become the choice of many people willing to trade the raw computing prowess of a more high-end machine for a device that’s a little easier on the spine. Last year’s model brought a new level of computing power to the Air, without changing much about the design. New year, old story: last week at WWDC Apple...Basic Specs
