I can’t count the number of times I have published articles on this site regarding the new MacBook Air(I might say that they were based on rumors).

This new MacBook Air is much slimmer than the previous model (11.3 mm vs 16.1 mm), and it adopts some of the design codes launched last year with the MacBook Pro 14 and 16.

Apple’s new MacBook Air has a MagSafe connector on the left edge of the connectivity front. On the other hand, the latter is still confined to two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 connections and a 3.5 mm jack.

The notch adorns the top of the screen and is a legacy of high-end models that we would have done well without.
