Mac pro 2018 review
It’s so much better than anything we’ve ever seen on a MacBook Air. There’s nothing disappointing at all about this new Retina display.

And, it also doesn’t get very bright - I expect a number of users will run this display at nearly full brightness for the majority of their 8+ hour workdays. Pixels can no longer be seen, the display is brighter than the age-old model, the bezels have shrunk dramatically - everything about this display is just better than any prior MacBook Air.īut since the MacBook Air is Apple’s mainstream computer, it comes with the Apple-of-today’s mainstream compromises.įirst, the new Retina display is not a P3 wide color display, separating the MacBook Air line from the MacBook Pro line. Had the 2018 MacBook Air debuted without a Retina display, you can be certain there would have been endless gnawing and gnashing of teeth.Īlas, here we are with a Retina display on a MacBook Air, and it’s glorious.įor the MacBook Air’s target market, the new Retina display will be the improvement most immediately noticed.

Talk about times being different - if a computer debuts with anything less than a 1080p display today, it’s immediately destined for the shelf. This is still the computer for everyone, but times are different now. Of course, we have to pay a higher price than we did back in 20 (it was only $1199 for the upgraded 11-inch MacBook Air back then!).īut most importantly, the newest MacBook Air evolves into an entirely different computer world - one dominated by the iPhone and a next-generation iPad Pro, and an Apple that has become the largest business in the world. We now get some seriously improved processors, RAM, displays, and I/O.
With the 2018 MacBook Air and the LG UltraFine 5K Display, that dream is now a reality.

I’ve wanted to reclaim that miniature laptop plus massive display workstation ever since I sold it off. After class, you could come home and plug it into the Thunderbolt Display, which had ethernet and more USB ports for all your I/O needs. A marvellously thin and light notebook that could even fit on those tiny writing desks in the poorest university classrooms. That 11-inch MacBook Air and Thunderbolt Display combo was my favorite MacBook and display combo of all-time - I’ve tried a few of them by now. It debuted with a Thunderbolt port, allowing for connection to Apple’s sublime 27-inch Thunderbolt Display. I purchased the 11-inch MacBook Air in 2011, after the notebook was updated with backlit keys and 4GB RAM came standard on the high-end model.
