But why on Earth doesnt it have 5G?
Apple
Finally, Apple has made a MacBook that lives up to the promise of the iPhone and iPad.
It’s not one thing that makes the new MacBook Air stand out, it’s the combination.

With the Air, we get all of that in a Mac.
Weve had parts of this before, of course.
And the M1 MacBook Pro is more powerful but thicker, and still has fans.

Compare this to the bad old days, when Apple still used Intels desktop chips in its computers.
I bought the16-inch Intel MacBook Proback in 2019, my first laptop after years of using just the iPad.
That was Apples best MacBook of the old desktop computer era.
Now we have the first mainstream laptop of the mobile era, and its already better in every way.
Not a Chromebook
Some readers may be screaming at the screen, “What about Chromebooks?
They’ve been around for years!”
And it’s great at that.
The new MacBook Air is a product of evolution following Apples new vision.
The MacBook Air scores 18 hours.
The Cellular Connection
There’s just one thing missing, and it’s a big one.
The MacBook Air still has no cellular connection.
Or perhaps its already in there, waiting to be switched on.
For a machine that is so obviously take-everywhere portable, this seems like an absurd omission.
But despite that, the MacBook Air looks like the best notebook computer ever made, which isnt bad.
