By the way, Apple still sells the old MacBook Air (starting from 1099 Euros, ~$1249), but it is hard to recommend it due to the outdated hardware.

We believe there is a good chance Apple will completely remove the less-expensive MacBook Pro 13 from its lineup with the next major update. The new MacBook Air targets a very similar group of customers and is not that much more affordable than the 'smallest' Pro model, either. The announcement of the new MacBook Air also shows why Apple did not refresh the less-expensive MacBook Pro 13 (function keys) this year with Intel's latest quad-core chips. The weight was reduced by about 100 grams compared to the old model and the new Air sits between the MacBook 12 and the MacBook Pro 13.

However, the front of the MacBook Air is once again tapered and only measures 0.41 cm at its slimmest spot. The new Apple MacBook Air gets a new chassis, which looks almost identical to the MacBook Pro and shares the same footprint.

Neither the comparatively large footprint nor the low-resolution TN panel could keep up with the Windows competition anymore, either. Our last review of the MacBook Air was in mid 2017, and it appeared very outdated, especially compared to Apple's own MacBook 12.
