MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)
The 2018 MacBook Air is the Retina version of Apple's thin-and-light laptop. Its 13.3-inch screen runs at 2560 by 1600, and the body tapers from 1.56 cm down to 0.41 cm at the front and weighs 1.25 kg. Inside is a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with Intel UHD Graphics 617 and 8GB or 16GB of memory.
Touch ID and two Thunderbolt 3 ports
There is an integrated Touch ID sensor for fingerprint unlock, a backlit keyboard and a Force Touch trackpad. Both Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports handle charging, DisplayPort video and Thunderbolt at up to 40 Gbps, so one cable can connect a dock or an external display.
Who it suits
This is a light everyday laptop for students, writers and anyone whose day is web browsing, email, documents and video calls. Apple lists macOS Sonoma as the newest compatible operating system, so check that your software still supports Sonoma before you buy.

Your choice helps keep high-value materials in circulation and supports a more sustainable future for all.
