Macbook Air 2018 Price in Bangladesh

I know exactly where your head is at. You want a new Macbook Air, but you are a little bit intimidated by the steep Apple price tag. In this article, we are going to do a review of the Macbook Air 2018 and its features. We will also let you know where the best place is to buy Macbook Air 2018 in Bangladesh. We want to help you eliminate as much anxiety as possible when it comes to buying a new laptop!

First, let’s take a quick tour of the product’s features, and review each one of them individually.

Macbook Air 2018 Size

Although the new Macbook air has maintained the same classic design, the product has become even slimmer and more compact than before. The “bezel” is the area between the screen and the edge of the device, and it appears that Apple is slowly getting rid of this awkward space across all of its devices.  This gives the screen an edge-to-edge design that maximizes its size, while minimizing the size of the device itself. The Macbook air is now 11.97 x 8.36 x 0.61 inches and only 2.75 pounds in weight. This means it will be a lot easier to fit the new Macbook into backpacks, and it will reduce a lot of the strain on your back.

The butterfly keys make a return on this Macbook model, giving you less “clicks” as you type, and also reducing the chance of getting water in your computer. One of the worst things about older Macbooks is that if you spill some water on them, it is pretty likely to go right into the keyboard. These butterfly keys greatly reduce the chance of that happening. They also help make the laptop even thinner, as it allows the screen to be completely flat and still close properly.

USB Ports on the New Macbook Air

The USB ports have been changed up to make the design look even cleaner than before. They have done away with almost all of the ports of the Macbook from earlier this decade, and now they feature just have two thunderbolt 3 ports on the side.

New Processor for the Macbook Air

Instead of using the 5th generation Intel chip design, Apple has completely upgraded their processor to the 8th generation silicon. This also comes with a dual-core 1.6GHz Core i5 design. This is a huge boost in processing power compared to older models.

New Macbook OS

The new Macbook air will run on MacOS Mojave, which will allow for a plethora of new features such as group video calls. Speaking of which, the new Macbook airfeatures a 720p HD FaceTime camera. The camera is so good, you might have to get your makeup on before you facetime mom!

Touch Bar/ Touch ID

This is perhaps one of the most common questions when it comes to the new Macbook air. Does the new Macbook air come with a touch bar? The answer is no. The Macbook air left out the touch bar, but it still does have the touch ID feature, so you can open your Macbook air with your fingerprint. This is perfect for those of you who hate having to remember 100 different passwords! You can also use this fingerprint scanner to quickly buy or download things off of the App store. Even though you may not buy as much from the itunes store, you definitely have a super long password that is annoying to enter in every time.

Screen Resolution

Although cheaper than its Macbook Pro counterpart, the Macbook air boasts similar specs when it comes to graphics. The Macbook air has 2,560 x 1,600 resolution display, which gives it a 227 PPI resolution. This is similar to that of the Macbook pro. The size of the screen itself is 13.3 inches, giving you the perfect screen for getting cozy and watching movies or getting work done when you are on the go.

Storage Space

If you work with a ton of video files like me, you may be pleased to know that the new Macbook air comes fully loaded when it comes to storage and RAM. You will have to choose your configurations at the time of purchase, but the storage goes up to 1.5 TB in space. That's a lot of photos! I had been a little bit concerned seeing a lot of Google’s computers doing away with large hard drives, because I like to do a lot of work offline. Luckily, we can rely on Apple for this, as all of their recent laptops have had plenty of storage space. You can also get up to 16 GB of RAM, so no more worrying about slow processing speeds.

Security

I also thought it might be worth mentioning that this Macbook air offers an extra security feature and that is the T2 security chip. This chip automatically encrypts your files and offers a secure boot option. For those of you who are in the IT field, this may be a huge draw for the new Macbook air. For those of you who are not in the IT field, all you need to know is that this feature offers a level of security that previously was unavailable unless you splurged for the Macbook pro. Data security is becoming more and more important to consumers, and Apple is taking note of that. This fact is evident in their newest Macbook air. Another cool feature is that this allows you to completely erase the contents of your Macbook when you reset it to the factory settings. That means your personal data will not be stored forever in some off-site location it will be erased completely.

Physical Design

Although there are a lot of things that Apple has improved about the Macbook, I think we are all glad about the one thing that has pretty much remained the same and that is the beautiful exterior design. The new Apple Macbook air maintains the classic slim wedge-shaped design. I know it is simple, but my absolute favorite part about the Macbooks is the aluminum exterior. Because of Apple’s extensive collection of patents, no other company can make a laptop quite like them. The aluminum Macbook is perhaps the best example of that. For some, it may seem like an expensive computer, but to me what is truly expensive is paying close to $1,000 for a computer that is made out of plastic.

Speaker System on the new Macbook Air

Although we don’t have the exact data on the sound levels output by the new speakers, Apple has been bragging that the speakers on the new Macbook air are the most powerful we’ve seen thus far. This is because Apple has added two new bass units, one on each side. This gives the speakers a strong output of sound that almost feels like its coming from multiple directions. One of my biggest complaints about the old Macbooks is that they just don’t get loud enough. I feel like I can’t just put a movie on and listen to it from the other side of the room. Hopefully this will be different with the new Macbook air, we have certainly heard some great things about the new speakers!

Trackpad on the new Macbook

Although this might not be that interesting for some people, I think that it makes a big deal. The trackpad still has the same design and seamless integration to the laptop, but this time it is even more responsive. You might need to dial down the settings at first because it is really sensitive. If you don’t feel like doing this, you will definitely get used to it after a few days. Overall, it will make your life easier as you will need less swipes to get your mouse where you want it to go.

The Final Verdict

The 2018 Macbook air offers so many features previously only available for the Macbook pro. The great part is that you can get it for significantly less than its Macbook pro counterpart. The Macbook air is a great improvement to a classic compact design and it will compliment your busy lifestyle. Just because it is lightweight, does not mean that it skimps on all the best features. For its price and size, it is perhaps one of Apple’s best laptops!
