Macbook Air 2019

Fall 2018 brought Apple fans a surprise with a reimagining of the MacBook Air line. Smaller body, Retina display, larger trackpad and a new level of convenience and security with Touch ID. After several years of total concentration on the products of the "Pro" line, this update is really amazing in scope.

But the summer of 2019 brought another update to the MacBook Air line. It can be safely called minor, because the noticeable changes are True Tone and the cost of basic models has been reduced compared to their predecessors in the United States.

Are you actively looking for the perfect option for your daily work or study? And don't need the power like the Pro line? The new Apple MacBook Air 2019 is your choice for surfing the web, watching videos and working in text editors.

Of course, you should not expect from such a device mega-speed in "heavy" applications and games, instant loading or a successful video rendering process. And for everyday office tasks, it is quite suitable. To each his own.

Retina & True Tone

Four times more pixels, phenomenal expansion, limitless contrast - the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the Retina screen. But this is not all that can be said about him. We got what we wanted for so long - a high-quality image that will turn your idea of \u200b\u200bthe quality of a "picture" upside down. The whole text looks like it is written on paper, your eyes will tell you "thank you" for this. The display displays 48% more colors than its predecessor, so all images in it take on a new color.

Very cool was the decision of specialists from Cupertino in the 2018 model to reduce the bezels around the display by 50%. The display dimensions remain the same as its predecessor this time, the frames are the same miniature, and the glass covers the screen from edge to edge, creating the effect of complete immersion. Resolution 2560x1600 with a frequency of 227 pixels per inch. Of course, compared to the MacBook Pro, the display is less bright, at just 400 nits. And this is quite enough for comfortable watching movies and videos, working with images or text.

The 2019 MacBook Air now features True Tone technology, which adjusts the temperature of the display backlight relative to its surroundings. This is important if you work at your computer all day or late in the day.

In short, the following aspects can be distinguished :

• Added True Tone technology
• The number of flowers has increased by 48%!
• Resolution is 2560 x 1600 pixels
• IPS matrix with LED backlight.

Absolute security

Cupertino specialists have always staked on an increased level of data security in their devices. Therefore, on a MacBook Air, you can use Touch ID to unlock it. Comfortable? Yes! Fast? Definitely! Psst .. And there is also Touch ID to pay for purchases. This option is a serious application for the device to move to a new level in the top of ultrabooks. Thanks to Touch ID, you can set access to individual folders on the device only with your fingerprint. Maximum privacy!

What is all this due to? Responsible for your security is one small, but such a reliable chip - the Apple T2 Security Chip. This is the second generation of chips that have been developed individually for Mac computers. This crumb encrypts all the information passing through it: passwords, payments, purchases, correspondence, photos and videos, files. The highlight is that it is thanks to this chip that the "Hey Siri" command is now available!

One Touch Magic

The new butterfly keyboard was the biggest change to branded MacBooks in 2016. Far from quiet and with minimal key movement, but there was something about it that simply did not want to use other keyboards. So, the MacBook Air 2019, like its predecessor, has such a keyboard in its arsenal. Pleasant bonuses are the high response speed of the keys and contrasting backlighting.

To control the cursor in ultrabooks, we are used to using the TouchPad touch panel. In the 2018-2019 generation of MacBook Air, the TouchPad has been enlarged by 20 percent. The highlight is that it instantly responds to force touch (Force Touch) and your touch. It is comfortable to work with it and the touchpad in macbook air can be called a perfectly honed tool for work.

faster than the wind

The 2019 model has an 8th Gen Intel Core i5 dual-core processor. The processor frequency starts at 1.6 GHz and ends at around 3.6 GHz with the help of TurboBoost technology. These options allow Mac OS Mojave to run smoothly and perform common tasks at optimal speed. The amount of RAM is 8GB, which is enough. 16GB is the perk of the MacBook Pro.

The storage is 128GB, or 256GB as standard, but expandable up to 1.5TB with custom configurations.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 617 graphics card is responsible for the graphics capabilities in the new product of 2019. The speed of the video card is enough to work at an average level with photos and videos. NOT rendering in 4k, but not bad either. As experience shows, even on old MacBook Air models it was possible to successfully work with Final Cut X, on newer ones it will definitely be smoother and more convenient. It is worth noting that with the help of USB Type-C (TunderBolt 3) and OS X Mojave, support for external video cards appeared. Plug into Air RTX 2080TI and mount 4k 120 FPS. Try it :)

The End of the USB Era!

The era of conventional slow USB is finally coming to its logical conclusion. The era of USB (USB Type-C) is gaining momentum! The time has come when one cable will be universal for all your devices. In addition to the iPhone, Apple Watch and other gadgets that are still waiting in line. What does USB Type-C do with TunderBolt 3 support? We connect an adapter (say Satechi) and instead of 1 connector we get USB, HDMI, MicroSD, SDcard, USB Type-C. Perfectly fast and definitely convenient!

We connect a camera, a mouse, a keyboard, a nuclear reactor here, and everything works just amazingly at speeds up to 40 Gbps.

Live in a new way!

MacBook Air 2019, this is a completely unexpected novelty. The specialists from Cupertino took care of our vision and added a useful True Tone option. And at the same time, they left all the best that was done in the previous update. Thus, the puzzle is completed and we have an almost complete ideal ultrabook for daily needs. Retina screen, updated processor to the latest generation, ultra-fast SSD and perfect operating system. You have everything to create, view, share everything with your MacBook Air. This is a worthy follower of the classic Air MacBooks, which raises the bar of modern ultrabooks to a new, yet unexplored, level!
