The Apple MacBook Air “Core i5” 1.6 13-Inch (True Tone Retina, 2019) model features a 14-nm “Amber Lake Y” 1.6 GHz Intel “Core i5” processor (8210Y) with two independent processor “cores” on a single chip, a 4 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 2133 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM and 128 GB of onboard PCIe-based flash storage, and an “integrated” Intel UHD Graphics 617 graphics processor that shares system memory. This all is packed in a thin wedge-shaped aluminium case with an integrated 720p “FaceTime HD” webcam, Touch ID, a thin, backlit revised “third generation” butterfly mechanism keyboard, large “Force Touch” trackpad, and a high-resolution 13.3″ LED-backlit 2560×1600 (227 ppi) “Retina” display with True Tone technology. The aluminium case is available in three colour options — gold (pictured, left), silver, and a darker “Space Gray” (but not other colours) and weighs 2.75 pounds (1.25 kg). Apple estimates battery life at 12-13 hours depending on the task performed. Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, two Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Compared to its predecessor, this MacBook Air looks effectively the same and has the same processor and architecture, but the newer model has a higher quality display (because of the aforementioned True Tone), a revised keyboard design in an effort to improve reliability.
