Apple MacBook Air MRE82LL/A 13.3" 8GB 256GB SSD Core™ i5-8210Y 1.6GHz macOS, Space Gray

The Retina Display has found its way onto the late 2018 space gray Apple 13.3" MacBook Air. With over 4 million pixels, the 13.3" Retina Display features a 2560 x 1600 screen resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio for 227 pixels per inch (ppi). The display also features up to 48 percent more color than the previous generation. The display glass goes right to the edge of the screen for 50% less bezels. The integrated Touch ID sensor allows you to unlock your MacBook Air with your fingerprint and authenticate your identity. You can also make secure online purchases with Apple Pay.

Paired with the Apple T2 security chip, the T2's Security Enclave protects your Touch ID information and also ensures that software loaded during the boot process has not been tampered with. The T2 also features an SSD controller with on-the-fly data encryption for everything stored on the SSD for a secure boot process. The keyboard utilizes Apple's butterfly mechanism for precise and responsive typing. Each key is individually backlit and works with an ambient light sensor for a more uniform illumination. You can also use the Force Touch trackpad, which is 20 percent larger than the previous generation, and has pressure-sensing capabilities as well as haptic feedback.

The stereo speakers have also been improved to provide twice the bass and 25 percent more volume than the previous generation. Scratch and dent products may have considerable cosmetic blemishes that do not affect performance. They are a great way to save money while still enjoying a rigorously tested device.
