Meet the Macbook Air

The Macbook Air is the Macintosh’s thinnest laptop. In fact, it is the thinnest laptop on the market. It is only 0.7 inches thick. The Macbook Air is 12.8 inches long and 8.9 inches wide. Being thinner makes it lighter and more portable, and offers a neatly designed laptop. That being said, there are some disadvantages to the thin laptop. It doesn’t offer a lot of ports to interface with. It only offers three as a matter fact, one audio jack, one USB port, and one mini display port. The laptop may be smaller, but the price tag definitely isn’t, and as expensive as this laptop is, you’ll definitely want it safe while traveling.

Customers have given it a five star satisfaction rating, and for good reason. This is a soft case to carry your Macbook Air around with you, but just because its soft doesn’t mean it doesn’t protect your laptop. The case has a slim fit for the slimmest laptop. The interior of the case is lined with three millimeters of cushioning for extra protection. To see this case in the Apple Store click here.
