Now it's come full circle back to the Air. That design quickly spread to the MacBook Pro, if in beefier, more power-focused form. In 2015, Apple superseded the design with the new 12-inch MacBook, which pulled every trick in the book, including terracing the battery, to get even smaller and lighter than Air.

Nothing highlights that more than the second design generation Air, which introduced a wedge shape and portable profile that became the template from which Intel and other vendors cloned again and again for almost a decade. Ever since Steve Jobs pulled the very first one out of a Manila envelope, it's forced customers to pay attention and competition to play catch-up. And the end result is way better than just slapping a Retina display in the old Air. I can't say it was worth the wait because, in this specific case, the wait was so damn long, but I can say it looks great.

So, there may still be that to look forward to on some new Mac, someday.Д«ut Apple did snap its fingers here too and kill off 50% of what was very broad, very bright bezels on the old model, and replaced them with black under the glass as every modern Mac deserves. That's the biggest advantage the Apple display team brings to every product right now: Complete color management across all devices, Mac and iOS, and nearly perfect calibration from the factory.ДЄpple didn't call it Liquid Retina like the iPhone XR and new iPad Pro, and it didn't drive it almost edge-to-edge and painstakingly anti-alias and mask it around the corners like it did those displays. So, if you're a photographer or anyone whose workflow is all DCI-P3, all the time, you'll have to either remember you're not getting all of that on the Air or stick to a 13-inch MacBook Pro when you're portable.Д¬ompared to anything but the current generations Pros, it does look terrific though, and I bet most people couldn't even tell it apart from the Pro if they didn't know exactly what to look for. Just not as rich and vibrant as the full-on DCI-P3 wide gamut displays on the current MacBook Pro. That means richer reds and more vibrant greens. The new Air is still sRGB but 48% wider than the previous generation or the current 12-inch MacBook Air. The biggest difference between the new MacBook Air and the current MacBook Pro displays is color gamut. You do lose about 300 points horizontal and 100 points vertical in the translation.Д«ut, you're effectively getting the same Retina size and density as the13.3-inch MacBook Pro so, in my experience, it's still perfectly usable. The new Retina Air is 13.3-inches, 2560 x 1600 at 227ppi.

The previous Air was 13.3-inches, 1440 x 900 at 128ppi, which would double to 2880 x 1800. That makes angles cleaner and curves smoother.ДЄpple's not quite doing that here. Typically, Apple does Retina by moving to or rendering every point with not just 1 pixel but a square of 4.
