The 2017 MacBook Air 13-inch is Apple's last Air with the classic aluminum body, a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Its appeal is the keyboard, the array of ports (two USB-A, Thunderbolt 2, SD card slot, MagSafe) and long battery life, not speed. The 1440x900 non-Retina display and fifth-generation Intel chip are well behind the Retina MacBook Air that replaced it, so it suits light office, writing and student work on a budget rather than editing or development. Buyers should weigh it against newer Airs and used Retina models, which are faster and sharper but lose the USB-A ports and MagSafe.

Owners and reviewers treat the 2017 Air as a dependable light-duty machine: praised for its keyboard, ports and battery, criticised for its dated screen and slow processor. Most say it is fine for writing and web work but not for creative or heavy software.
The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2017) is a laptop that runs macOS. It has an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, and comes in Silver.
The 256GB of storage is modest, so leave room for applications, updates and working files. Software support depends on the macOS version, processor generation and memory this configuration allows. Check the requirements of any application you rely on, especially for coding, design or editing. Software that runs only on Windows needs a supported workaround before you use it on a Mac.
