Our take on the 2019 Apple MacBook Air - Core i5 - 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD - Gold - MVFN2LL/A

The 2019 MacBook Air is Apple's 13.3-inch lightweight laptop with a Retina display, Touch ID, and an Intel Core i5 paired with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. At 2.8 lbs it is easy to carry, and Apple rates the battery at up to 15 hours of web use or 18 hours of video playback. It handles browsing, documents, and light multitasking well, but its Intel chip and butterfly keyboard are dated next to Apple Silicon MacBook Airs, which run cooler, faster, and last longer. It suits students and casual users who want a cheap way into macOS and a good screen, not people doing heavy editing or coding.
