The new MacBook Air is better than its predecessor in pretty much every regard, but this is not surprising considering the age of the old model. We like the display, and the performance is sufficient for everyday tasks. If you are looking for a slim laptop with macOS and you don't mind the high price, the new Air is a good choice. However, it is neither without competition nor very innovative.
