New entry MacBook leaves PC laptops up in the Air

I remember like it was yesterday when the Macbook Air was released. It was such an innovative design back in 2008. I received it for a review and I remember thinking how incredibly thin and light it was compared to anything else on the market.

The wedge-shaped Air was the first of a kind in a successful line of ultrabooks that would follow. This year’s release of the latest MacBook Air sees an update to the design and it’s one of the first machines to use Apple’s new M2 silicon.
