Along the left side are the MagSafe port and two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, and on the right side is the headphone jack. I went with Midnight, which is an elegant, very dark blue that looks stunning in person. The 2.7-pound aluminum chassis is solid yet very light, and the shape it cuts is both understated and modern. New colors are available (Silver, Starlight, Space Gray, and Midnight). The screen received a bump in size from 13.3 inches to 13.6 inches, and yet, the new model is 20% smaller in overall volume than its predecessor. Gone is the wedge, replaced with a uniform slab that is still extremely thin, only 0.44 inches thick.

It wasn't until the 2022 release that we received a significant external redesign, but I think Apple has made a lot of good decisions here. That wedge design stayed with the line for over a decade. The reveal of the original MacBook Air was one of the most iconic moments in tech history, and as someone whose first Mac was that original design, I can attest to just how thin and portable it was and what a joy it was to use.
