If you have your heart set on a MacBook but are not keen on shelling out too much cash, might we suggest the MacBook Air? It’s a well-rounded laptop with great build quality and solid performance. While it looks almost the same as the previous generation, Apple claims it has been significantly upgraded under the hood.

Apple kicked things up a notch with the latest MacBook Air by elevating its screen with the brand’s proprietary True Tone technology. This means the laptop’s display can adapt to the environment it’s in, making images appear more natural and colors sharp and accurate. When it comes to firepower, this laptop packs the tenth-generation Intel Core i3 processor backed by 8GB of RAM and a fast SSD. Together, they ensure speedy operation on the usual daily workflow which involves video streaming, web surfing, Photoshop editing, and word processing.
