Questions and answers

Is this MacBook Air good for video editing?
It can handle basic 1080p trimming, but the dual-core Intel i5 and 8 GB RAM will struggle with 4K projects or complex timelines.
What is the battery life like?
Apple rates this model for up to 12 hours of wireless web use, though heavy brightness and multitasking will reduce this figure.
Does it have a Retina display?
Yes, it features a 2560 x 1600 resolution Retina display, which offers much sharper text and images than older non-Retina Air models.
Can I upgrade the storage or RAM later?
The storage and RAM are soldered to the logic board, so they cannot be upgraded after purchase; you must rely on external drives for more space.
What do buyers say about the Apple MacBook Air 13.3" Intel Core i5?
