So it’s not that bad, and this “not that bad” situation is paired with 4GB RAM, either 128 or 256GB storage, and a relatively premium set of other specs, including 802.11ac WiFi (compatible with 802.11b/g/n), two USB 3.0 ports, one Thunderbolt 2 port, and support for Bluetooth 4.0.

We’re up to sixth-gen in the current Intel spectrum, but that only happened at the end of last year, meaning Apple’s current MacBook Air and Pro range are out of date, but not by as much as you think. The current model is not quite a year old, but still due for an update, and that’s because this edition relies on an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor from Intel’s fifth generation of processors, referred to by many as “Broadwell”. So what are you getting in the MacBook Air?

The next MacBook Air is likely just around the corner, but if you’re in the market for a new machine, particularly with a back-to-school season now in full swing, or even a “new work, new you” approach, there’s a good chance that 2015 MacBook Air is in your sights.
