The new MacBook Air becomes a retina screen with finer edges Now

Apple announced Tuesday a new version of its MacBook Air. The laptop is equipped with a retina screen with higher resolution for the first time.

This is the first time since 2010 that the Air gets a better screen. The edges of the screen are no longer aluminum, but glass. These edges are also thinner, which reduces the size of the device by 17%.

The case is still aluminum, which makes it very fine. For the first time, the MacBook Air is made entirely from recycled aluminum, which reduces the impact on the environment. Apple has spoken of the "most environmentally friendly Mac to date"

Like other Apple MacBooks, the Touch fingerprint reader can now be unlocked. The laptop is equipped with the new Apple "Butterfly" keyboard and a larger touchpad. At its thickest point, the laptop is only 15.6 millimeters thick. He weighs 1.25 kg.

On the side are two USB-c ports for connecting accessories and charging the notebook. Apple promises that the life of the battery is similar to that of the previous generation of MacBook Air.

The device appears in silver, gold and gray. The entry-level model features a Core i5 processor, an SSD storage space of 128 GB and 8 GB of RAM. In the United States, this execution costs 1,199 dollars (1,054 euros). The MacBook Air will also be available with better processors and up to 16GB of memory.
