On the security part, the Apple MacBook Air now has Touch ID, a fingerprint sensor built right into the keyboard, and that is supported by the Apple T2 Security Chip. The T2 also features an SSD controller with on-the-fly data encryption for everything stored on the SSD. The new MacBook Air is said to feature an all-day battery life, though the design this time is such that the MacBook Air now is smaller than the previous generation laptop. The new MacBook Air takes up 17 percent less volume, is 10 percent thinner measuring just .61 inches at its thickest point, and at just 2.75 pounds is a quarter pound lighter than the previous generation.

“The first MacBook Air revolutionized Mac with its thin wedge-shaped aluminum design. It forever changed the entire industry for portable computers and became the world’s most loved notebook,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Redesigning MacBook Air started with a stunning Retina display and all-day battery life, and then we added Touch ID and the Apple T2 Security Chip, the latest processors, incredible sound, the third-generation keyboard and Force Touch trackpad, high speed Thunderbolt 3 ports, and of course macOS Mojave in a beautiful, thinner, lighter, all-aluminum design that a whole new generation of MacBook Air customers are going to love.”
