The LED-backlit butterfly keyboard provides prime stability, while the classic Force Touch trackpad enables precision and uniform control, even when using Multi-Touch gestures.

Specs-wise, this MacBook Air boasts 8GB memory and 128GB SSD, while being powered by dual-core 8th Gen Intel i5 processors featuring Turbo Boost up to 3.6gHZ. Among the MacBook Air’s standouts are its security-focused features, like Touch ID for logging in and accessing documents. Apple’s T2 Security Chip allows for on-the-fly data encryption, and recognizes your voice through Siri audio commands.
