    • Processor Model: Intel 8th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)

    • System Memory RAM Expandable To: 16 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
  • Graphics
    • Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)

    Q: What is the difference between this model and OLDER MacBook Air?

    A: The older one has non Retina display kinda fast no Touch ID one color The new MacBook Air has new colors and it’s faster and have Touch ID and have wonderful retina displays it’s all glass screen

    Q: Is this rose gold

    A: Apple considers this color gold but it is close to a rose gold.

    Q: Can you get student deals on the new MacBook Air?

    A: I asked a few employees and surprisedly they said no

    Q: Does the charger come with when you by this?

    A: Yes you receive and charged when you purchase the computer

    Q: I'm getting ready to purchase this Apple laptop it my first apple laptop, but does this model have a USB slot?

    A: No it does not. It has a thunderbolt C port. You would have to buy an adapter

    Q: Hi! I need a notebook that is good to use FinalcutX. Air is ok? I was thinking about Mac pro but heard some units had a problem. What do you recommend? Thanks!

    A: Hi, I’m so happy with my Mac air! Is fast, light, carry with me all the time and works really good. I don’t have that software (finalcutx) but it must work good. If you need more space and work with heavy illustrations maybe the “pro” is better for you. I hope my opinion will be useful for you.

    Q: I’m thinking about buying this laptop for my 8th grader for Christmas. She has an iPhone and IPad but was wondering if this is going to be an easy use for her . She currently have a Lenovo laptop

    A: I think that student who in grade 6 and above should enjoy using this machine. It's plenty fast for most applications and probably weighs less than the Intro to Algebra textbook most students still use. The Mac OS is superficially much easier to use than Windows 10 and will integrate nicely with all of the other Apple devices in the house. The biggest downfall is price for configuration. Look for open-box items at Best Buy.
