so that was the zone of tech MacBook Air 2018 concept so let's talk about the
MacBook Carrie the upcoming 2018 MacBook Air so the error is actually one of
Apple's most iconic products the original error was introduced back in
2008 which is actually ten years ago that's when Steve Jobs introduced his
new MacBook by literally taking it out of an actual envelope yeah that's how
thin that was even back then so the original error was actually the thinnest
laptop in the world when it launched and it was also the one to pioneer the
upcoming ultrabooks market and had literally no optical drive at all
limited ports with only a headphone jack a USB type a port and a mini DisplayPort
and that was it do you see do you see how even back then the MacBook Air kind
of resembles what modern-day 12-inch Mac and finally ten years later we're
expecting a major MacBook Air redesign and here's everything you need to know
in terms of that so get all that popcorn ready because this is going to be a
really interesting and exciting video as always but this is a really excited
furnace 2018 MacBook Air let's take away
okay so after the magma care was introduced back in 2008 two years later
in 2010 Apple has introduced the first maverick air redesigned so this new
model actually came in two sizes now a 13-inch model and also an eleven inch
model and it was also Apple's first macbook to come with a full glass
storage and it also featured that familiar wet shaped design where the
front was literally the thinnest points of the device and then it became thicker
towards the back and that was that was it Apple has released a new MacBook Air
since 2010 at least we won't know when it comes to the design so they've
actually released some spec updates they bombed the specs a number of times
basically every single year since 2010 until 2015 and 2017 the base 30 inch
MacBook Air I've got a CPU bump from 1.6 gear it's to 1.8 but it's still the
exact same CPU architecture from 2015 meaning that it was a Broadwell
processor so sadly it's actually been three years since we got an actual
update for the MacBook Air even when it comes to the actual specs given the 11
inch error was even discontinued by the way in favor of Apple's new 12 inch
MacBook and to be honest the only reason why Apple keeps selling the error is
because well it starts from $1000 or 950 pounds so it's actually the cheapest
MacBook that Apple is selling but unfortunately the error is now a
complete ripoff in 2018 the display is extremely low whereas for a 20-18 laptop
anyone to mention even a fourth 2015 laptop it was really really bad the
viewing angles are horrible the color reproduction is really bad as well
everything is so washed out the performance is OK for general use but
considering how expensive this thing is even in 2018 it's $1,000 it's not worth
it and here's the thing the Apple MacBook lineup is looking very
inconsistent today back in 2010 Apple had three Mac books they had the MacBook
which is literally the middle laptop so to say that Apple was selling it was
good for general use and then he had the MacBook Air which was actually it was
weaker than the MacBook but much more portable and then he had the MacBook Pro
which was more powerful than the MacBook also more expensive and also less
portable so it all made so much sense now we have the MacBook Pro we have the
12-inch MacBook and then we have the MacBook Air which performance wise it is
better than it inch MacBook which is strange it
shouldn't be and the 12 inch MacBook is actually way thinner and lighter and
hence more horrible than the air so essentially the new 12 inch MacBook is
the new air the new MacBook Air and the new MacBook Air or the old MacBook Air
is essentially the MacBook so the new middle ground laptop only Apple isn't
really calling it that way well the good news is that Apple is actually working
on an updated MacBook Air there are so many reports on this finally and it
might be announced either at WWDC if not a wotc then around October or November
at a separate Mac event so okay that's that's awesome but what do we actually
know about its new 2018 MacBook Air well a lot of reports including one by a
fairly trusted source which is this times reported that Apple is currently
working on a new 13-inch laptop that would replace the current generation the
finish MacBook Air and interesting enough more gurmann reported by
Bloomberg that Apple is actually developing a new MacBook Air which would
be priced at less than a thousand dollars which is strange because that's
actually the current price on the current generation MacBook Air and it
also made chiku we probably heard of in Chicago before I mentioned him so many
times on this channel and I like summer series he's the analyst with literally
the best track record when it comes to Apple leaks and he also said that Apple
is working on the most affordable MacBook yet a new MacBook Air which
would be even cheaper than the current generation is so according to all these
reports it seems that Apple isn't developing the air as a thinner version
of the 12-inch MacBook hence you know the error name that should have been
that was the air name from the beginning but instead they're working on something
that's cheaper and more affordable than the current air because at the moment
the air the name air isn't suggesting thinness anymore because that's the
12-inch MacBook the name air actually should suggests an air thin price kind
even though that's that's thousand dollars it's not really that cheap ok
but how would Apple actually decrease the price so much and what changes would
it come with well first things first a new design is more than likely coming
and my new design it's probably going to look very very similar to a 12-inch
MacBook just in a 13 inch form factor now when it comes to the actual thinness
well we don't really have any reports on this yet but I don't think it's going to
be as thin as a 12-inch MacBook and that's because the error was
more powerful than 20 12 inch MacBook because well it had a more poor hungry
CPU as well as a fan and fan requires more space the 12-inch MacBook doesn't
have a fan is completely fanless but that's because it actually uses an Intel
Core M processor which is actually five watts and yes these are even weaker than
a 2017-2018 in smartphone processor so interests of the actual processor Apple
is probably going to include an i3 and i-5 but for the baseline model it's
probably going to be an i3 between 15 watts to 38 watts processor in the
baseline model eight gigabytes of RAM standard because pretty much every
single MacBook at a moment comes with 80 gigabytes of RAM and here's are the
actual storage that's more than likely going to be 128 gigabytes for the actual
baseline model now a processor like that would also require a fan which would
mean just as a 74 data MacBook era would be thicker a tiny bit thicker than the
12-inch MacBook but at least you should be getting more performance out of it
okay so what about you know the main the main issue of the 12-inch MacBook was
the fact that it only came with one port that single USB type-c port are we
finally getting two ports possibly more than likely we we don't expect to see
any Thunderbolt 3 ports on the MacBook Air even though the current generation
MacBook Air does have support for Thunderbolt 2 but yea Thunderbolt 3
especially is a really really professional connection only a few
people use it mostly people who need to transfer extremely large amounts of data
so hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes in just a few minutes or a few
hours and it's not just that but it also increases the cost of manufacturing cost
of the macbook by quite a bit and of course that one of the biggest if not
the biggest improvements coming to the air would be finally a Retina display
so digit times reported in March that LG is set to begin production for a new
display for Apple with a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels which fun fact is
exactly the same resolution as the 13-inch MacBook Pro so a 13-inch display
is pretty much confirmed at this point and also if LG needs to manufacture a
different display instead of you know using the same 13 inch 13 display as on
the MacBook Pros it means that it won't be a DCI p3 panel more than likely so it
would be slightly inferior maybe even when it comes to the brightness of the
panel itself then to 12-inch than a 13-inch MacBook Pros display for
example the 12-inch MacBook comes with an on Lisa III display so the
color gamut is not as wide as on the pros and then the brightness is also at
300 nits compared to 500 nits on the MacBook Pros so the actual display on
the MacBook Air 13-inch is 20 Nazz martin aki going to be basically a
12-inch MacBook displayed exactly exactly the same display just with a
higher resolution because of that slightly larger 13-inch panel and
finally when it comes to the color is to expect at least space gray and silver on
the air maybe even gold and rose gold to match to 12-inch MacBook Scholars and
hopefully we would also be getting some color matching Apple stickers because
this is a bit strange so if you get a 12-inch back book you actually get
stickers that match the color of your 12-inch MacBook so you would get Space
Gray stickers silver stickers gold and rose gold that's pretty much it but if
you got a MacBook Pro and silver or Space Gray which is obviously way more
expensive than the 12-inch MacBook the stickers are not color matching so it
feels like I don't know apples attention to detail doesn't really exist anymore
obviously the sticker is just a really small example there's many more examples
but yeah this is just one point that I wanted to make what enters of the
MacBook Air as a conclusion this would be all the improvements that we would be
seeing what a 2015 MacBook Air so essentially it's going to be a larger
version of the 12-inch MacBook now as to how Apple will be able to achieve that
lower price points for this then even cheaper even cheaper than 12-inch
MacBook to be honest I'm not really I'm really not sure so my guess is that the
error would be more expensive than a 12-inch MacBook thanks to you obviously
the extra performance the fact that it doesn't need a fan the fact that it
comes in to a larger display and then Apple would reduce the price of the
MacBook to make it cheaper than the air that way everything would make much more
sense because in the end the 12-inch MacBook would be cheaper for Apple to
manufacture than the MacBook Air so it wouldn't really make sense for you air
to be cheaper than the 12-inch MacBook not from Apple's perspective and also
the consumers perspective because you know then who would actually buy it at
all inch Mac but you get a smaller device a weaker device and the more
expensive device doesn't really make sense so if you have enjoyed this video
definitely scribe to channel if you're new to the channel and also don't forget
any modifications by Tarragona bell icon that way you would be notified whenever
a new cool video comes out because right now the YouTube subscription feed is a
bit mess the homepage is even more messed up so
be sure you have that Bell enabled you don't miss on the future videos I got
some pretty cool stuff coming out soon and then finally let me go to comments
what you guys think about the upcoming MacBook Air do you think what Apple is
doing is a good idea basically improving on the MacBook Air and maybe making it
more expensive or do you think that the whole idea of MacBook Air being the
cheapest slept up the Apple sells is basically the best idea yet and Apple
should keep the same design on the upgrade maybe the display and obviously
reduce the cost because of that that's that could happen to be honest I don't
think it's happening but that's also that's also an option so let me know
comments what I guys think and yeah I said from this this is being pretty much
everybody like if you have enjoyed it I'm Daniel and I'll see you guys in my
next one already losing my voice it's an attack
