It’s just 17mm thick and its 13in edition weighs only 1.35kg, giving the Air enough of a size and weight edge over a MacBook Pro to lure-in those after as portable a laptop as possible. As ever, it has an aluminium shell made of just a few parts, giving the impression the stuff might grow on trees in this exact shape.
It hasn’t needed to because it got some of the basics so right to begin with. Apple hasn’t changed the outer design at all for the 2016 MacBook Air.
