The lightweight MacBook Air is one of the best ultrabooks you can own.
The MacBook Air on sale features a 13.3-inch Retina Display with True Tone technology, a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive.
In our MacBook Air 2019 review, we found its crisp, high-resolution Retina display and strong audio impressive. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in endurance and we gave it an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars.
At 2.8 pounds, the 2019 MacBook Air is on par with similar travel-friendly laptops like the Dell XPS 13 (2.7 pounds) and the HP Spectre x360 (2.8 pounds). It's a tad lighter than its sibling, the 13-inch MacBook Pro (3 pounds).
In terms of performance, the MacBook Air's CPU 8th-gen Intel Y-series chip and 8GB RAM combo is suitable for day-to-day multitasking in the classroom or the boardroom.
When it comes to ports, the MacBook Air features two Thunderbolt 3 ports, one of which is for charging the notebook. It also has a built-in headphone jack so you can listen to music or podcasts using a wired pair of headphones.
At $350 off, the MacBook Air is a solid deal if you're looking for a stylish everyday laptop with a great display.
