The right edge houses a further USB 3.0 port and the super-fast Thunderbolt port. The left edge of the laptop houses a USB 3.0 port, a 3.5mm headphone socket, the afore-mentioned dual mic array and the magnetic MagSafe 2 charging connection, which handily detaches harmlessly should you accidentally yank or trip over the cable. Even with the design now a few years old, it’s still a staggering achievement. Weighing just 1.08kg, it’s incredible lightweight, making it supremely comfortable for carrying around all day long, and just about the most attractive laptop on the market. The 11-inch MacBook Air remains the pinnacle of portable notebook design, featuring a gorgeous aluminium unibody construction, measuring just 1.7cm thick at its chunkiest point and a startling 0.3cm at its tapered, wedge-like front edge. Aside from an additional microphone embedded in the left hand side to aid noise cancellation during Skype and FaceTime video calls, it’s the exact same chassis design as last year’s.
