MacBook Air 2017: processor, graphics and RAMĢ017’s changes are limited to the faster processor.

It’s still available in just the one silvery colour, unlike the 12-inch MacBook (Silver, Space Grey, Gold, or Rose Gold) or 13-inch or 15-inch MacBook Pro (Silver or Space Grey). There were some minor processor and port changes in 2015, but since then the only real updates have been upticks on the processor speed and a welcome doubling of the default memory (from 4GB to 8GB). A new model of the 12-inch MacBook was also announced, again getting faster Intel processors.Īpple hasn’t changed the Air much at all since it wowed the laptop world in 2010 with its sharp, wedge-shaped case – which still looks great, in our opinion. The MacBook Pro also saw a minor update, getting a processor bump to the Kaby Lake chipset.

Apple might have forgotten it in favour of the sharper-screened 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro and dinkier 12-inch MacBook, but the masses still love the lightweight, entry-level Air.Īpple isn’t calling its most recent MacBook Air update a “new” model, but to distinguish it from its otherwise very similar Early-2015 MacBook Air we’ll call it the Mid-2017 MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is the laptop you see in coffee shops, libraries, offices, and student digs all over the world. In June 2017 Apple updated the processor on its 13-inch MacBook Air from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz – not a massive improvement, but the MacBook Air remains a great choice for an entry-level Mac laptop.
