the MacBook Air and I spent a lot of time together over the years from the very first air back in 2008 to the current version ever so slightly updated for 2017 you could say we're old friends but my friend is definitely showing its age the processor while faster now is still a couple of generations old the design once the coolest looking laptop in the world feels a bit dated with a thick silver border around the screen and that screen is very low Reds compared to other mainstream laptops no IPS no retina obviously no touch still a lot about the MacBook Air still works it's now the only macbook where you can get a regular old USB port you get to in fact and it's the last stand for the MagSafe connection which has saved many many mac books from a grim fate over the years and that's just the ones I've personally almost killed battery life still tops 10 hours and the CPU while kind of out of date is still fine for everyday stuff like web serving video streaming and social media and importantly other mac books are thinner and lighter more powerful but none are cheaper Apple still sells the air for $9.99 but you can shop around online and knock at least a hundred bucks off sure the MacBook Air is a bit of an old timer but it's a tribute to how iconic it once was that it's slower and grayer now but it's still kicking
