Background
Apple introduced the 13 inch (technically 13.3") MacBook Air at the Macworld Conference & Expo in January 2008 as the thinnest notebook available at that time at 1.9 cm. The laptop included an antiglare backlit LED display and a trackpad that responded to various touch gestures.
A second generation MacBook Air 13” was released in October 2010. This updated version included a tapered frame, increased screen resolution, a standard SSD, two USB ports, and stereo speakers.
In October 2018, the third generation MacBook Air 13” was released, with a decreased thickness of 15.6mm and weight of 2.75 pounds. It included a Retina display with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, Amber Lake processors, Touch ID, and two combined USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. The tapered frame originally introduced in the second generation is continued in the third generation. It comes in three colors: silver, space gray, and gold.
Apple released an updated version of the third generation MacBook Air 13” in June 2019 to include a newer butterfly keyboard and True Tone display technology.
In March 2020, Apple released yet another update to the MacBook Air 13” to include Ice Lake processors, a Magic Keyboard (instead of the butterfly keyboard), updated graphics, and 6K support for compatibility with the Pro Display XDR. And in November 2020, Apple released MacBook Air with M1 chip. It is one of the first batch of computers that using Apple Silicon.
Apple released a wholly redesigned 13-inch MacBook Air in 2022 to fit alongside the also recently-redesigned 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros.
