The MacBook Air 2019 was a reasonable laptop choice for a while, but in 2020 is no cheaper and has been eclipsed by a new 2020 model, complete with Magic Keyboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are updates, and then there are updates; and the new MacBook Air for 2019 is more iPhone XS than Mac Pro 2019. Not all that much has changed since the previous generation \u2013 which isn\u2019t necessarily a problem, because (like the XS) it\u2019s still an excellent device, but it\u2019s unlikely to tempt many one-year upgraders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that the MacBook Air 2020 is here and we\u2019ve updated this review to reflect this. Read on to find out whether you should still buy this older model. Spoiler: Although it can sometimes be a bargain to buy an older generation, this is not one of those situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design & Build
\nThe MacBook Air is a true Goldilocks of form factors. The 13in screen and full-size keyboard feel big enough to work on pretty comfortably \u2013 the trackpad is enormous, too, as we\u2019ll discuss in a moment \u2013 but it\u2019s contained within a chassis that\u2019s slim (4.1mm at the thinnest point) and portable (1.25kg). The MacBook Pro is comparatively bulky, and the (now discontinued) 12in MacBook can feel cramped, but this is just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Air comes in silver, gold and Space Grey. The latter is particularly smart, but we\u2019re also fond of the gold finish which we tested. As is standard on Apple products, we\u2019re talking about a bronzey, reddish-gold that\u2019s easy on the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, this will be of interest only to those contemplating an upgrade from a recent MacBook model, but it\u2019s worth noting that all of the above is the same as the 2018 model. In classic Air fashion, the lines are sleek and minimalist and the lid opens with exactly the right amount of pressure, but Apple hasn\u2019t updated the design at all \u2013 except for the keyboard, which we\u2019ll talk about next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
