It was the entry-level MacBook, available at a lower price because it had a lower-resolution display, something which owners consistently told Apple they wanted to change. Now, it has. Here are all the updates about which you should know.

The new MacBook Air has a Retina display, at last. When the Air first launched, it was hard, or impossible, to fit a display into something so thin without a frame around it, hence the wide bezel on it until now, and the resolution was decent for the time but not cutting-edge now.
