For this MacBook Air 13 2015, Apple did not make many differences compared to its predecessor series. But it still has distinctive features when compared to other similar brand laptops. This is what makes many technology enthusiasts love this ultraportable laptop.
The latest and most important thing about this 13-inch Macbook air is the use of the 5th generation Intel Core i5-5250U processor, including Intel HD Graphics 6000 and Thunderbolt 2 port. As for the design, the color options are similar to the 2013 series. Weighing 1.35 kg, the Macbook Air is very light to carry wherever you go.
The 2015 MacBook Air 13 still offers a 1440 x 900 pixel resolution panel that Apple has never changed after five years, even up to 1080p resolution. Perhaps this will leave Apple fans expecting a retina display disappointed later.
The keyboard and touchpad on the MacBook Air 2105 have almost the same design and shape as its predecessor. FYI, only the 12-inch and 15-inch Macbook Pro have a ForcePad. The Macbook air keyboard has not changed at all, both in design and spacing.
