Macbook Air Buying Guide in Bangladesh

With Apple being one of the most recognizable and valuable brands in the world, it is easy to see why so many counterfeit products have emerged, especially in Bangladesh. To avoid buying a fake Macbook Air, here are a few things to watch out for.

Check the Model: The best way to check whether or not the computer your buying is real is to actually look it up on the device itself. This can be accessed by clicking the apple icon in the upper left hand corner and clicking “about this Mac” on here it will tell you what device it actually is. Make sure it is the model and year you are looking for. Some people will try to pass off a 2017 as a 2018.

Check the Ports: If you can access the computer itself, you can take a look at the ports on the side. This isn’t a perfect measure of whether it is real or not, but it is the easiest way to tell the new 2018 macbook from the older models. What you are looking for is two tiny identical ports on the left side (thunderbolt 3).

Check the Serial Number: Without even opening the device, you can look on the back for the serial number and cross-check it on the website: https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/

This is pretty difficult to fake, so it should serve as a good quick “check”

Macbook Air Review

The 2018 Macbook Air is, without a doubt, one of the most sought after gifts this year. You may be wondering how much has Apple improved with this model and does it justify the extra cost? We’re going to answer that question and more in this article!

We are going to cover some of the most commonly asked questions about the new Macbook Air features. Some of these features are new, and some of them were so good in previous models that they got an encore!

What USB Ports does the Macbook Air Have?

Perhaps the change you will notice most quickly is the USB ports. In the 2018 model, the ports have been replaced in favor of the thunderbolt 3 ports. This gives the laptop a much sleeker look, but some of you may not have the right device compatibility for this.

What OS does the 2018 Macbook Air Run?

This one I thought would be worth mentioning. The new Macbook air is designed to run OS Mojave right out of the box. This is the brand new Operating System that can accommodate a ton of cool new features. The most notable is group FaceTime calls with the 720p camera!

Does the New Macbook Air still have the Touchbar or Touch ID

Well, it seems like the touch bar was not the most well liked new feature. Apple looks like they are phasing out this not-so-popular piece of hardware. They did keep the touch ID so you will be able to protect your documents behind a fingerprint scanner.

How much Storage Space does the New Macbook Air Have?

This is one of the customizable components of the new Macbook air. When you purchase your new laptop, you can choose how much hard drive and RAM you want. The basic model is the cheapest option, but if you have a job that requires you to store a ton of files on your computer, you may want to splurge for the 1.5 TB hard drive or the 16 GB RAM or both! The latter should be able to handle even the most demanding of tasks.

How Big is the Macbook Air 2018?

If you are getting a Macbook Air, chances are you really care about the size and weight of the device. I have good news for you! The new Macbook air is even slimmer than before. The dimensions are 11.97in x 8.36in x 0.61in. The total weight is down to just 2.75 lbs.

What’s the Design Like?

The same basic look of the Macbook Air makes a return in its newest model, as the aluminum exterior seems to be a time-tested classic. This really sets the computer apart from all other contenders. Although it is light, the sturdiness of the laptop makes it really feel high quality.

Is the Trackpad Any Different?

This may seem like a small feature, but when you think about how much time you spend touching the track pad, it actually is a pretty big deal! This trackpad is 99% the same, with a tiny upgrade in responsiveness. I think it varies from person to person. You may not even notice it, but some people have reported the need to change the settings to make it easier to use. Either way, it’s not that big of a deal. You either spend 30 seconds changing the settings, or you get used to it after a day or two. It might even make things easier for you!

Does the 2018 Macbook Air have Butterfly Keys?

This is perhaps one of the more controversial aspects of the new Macbook Airs and Macbook Pros. A couple of years ago they changed the design of the classic clicky keys to what they call butterfly keys. These keys have far less travel distance. There is a clear tradeoff here, but overall I think they are a winner. You get less haptic feedback from the keyboard, but now there is less risk of water damage and the keyboard is sleeker.

How Loud are the New Macbook Air Speakers?

Apple has been boasting about these speakers for months now, and it seems like they are quiet loud. They have installed an extra bass speaker into each speaker on either side of the keyboard to give you almost an immersive sound experience. This has been a big complaint about some of the Macbooks predecessors. It looks as if one of the main critiques about the air will be solved with this newest model. Say hello to across-the-room movie watching!

What Kind of Processing Power Does it Have?

This is one of the unsung heroes of the new Macbook Air. You may not care about it at all, or it may be the only thing you care about. Regardless, the new Macbook Air is getting a giant upgrade in processing power. Apple is going from the 5^th generation Intel chips to the 8^th generation chips, giving you 1.6 GHz. The future is here!

How is The Screen Resolution?

The screen resolution is one of the major selling points of this device. First of all, the size of the screen is 13.3 inches, giving you a ton of screen space to binge watch your favorite TV shows. You also get 227 PPI resolution and a 2,560 x 1,600 pixel display. This puts the computer in close competition with its (more expensive) Macbook Pro counterpart.

Are There any New Security Features?

With so many data breaches happening recently, it is becoming increasingly more important to protect your personal data. Apple has made this easier for you. Not only does the Macbook Air come with the touch ID scanner we mentioned earlier, it also comes with a fancy new security feature that may not have made the headlines. The T2 security chip is one of Apple’s best security features to date. It automatically encrypts all of your personal data, and when you do a factory reset of your computer, it wipes it completely clean. Sounds pretty nice, doesn’t it?

In Conclusion

When it comes to quality, you really do get what you pay for. Apple may produce some of the most expensive computers on the market, but it also produces some of the most well-designed. These laptops are no exception to that. The new Macbook Air boasts many features normally reserved for the Macbook Pro. Here you get them at a significantly cheaper price, and they come in a smaller, more portable package. Macbook Pros are by no means clunky, but I always felt that the Macbook air is that missing link between the iPad and the Macbook Pro. It is a perfect way to take your work on the go without having to put too much of a strain on your back (or your wallet)
