There it is, "Retina" display in MacBook Air.
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:09:42 PM
If it's $999 or less, it's a killer.

"I'm incredibly excited today to introduce an all-new MacBook Air with a Retina Display and a whole lot more."

Will Apple actually break down and give us exactly what everyone has been asking for? I'd be shocked but delighted.

dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:10:26 PM
Oh, colors...cool.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:10:30 PM
Ok. So judging from the side, very few ports. Looks like two USB-C on one side
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:10:48 PM
I'm typing on a 12-inch MacBook right now, which I love, btw.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:10:53 PM
"This is the new MacBook Air. And I'd like to bring up Laura LaRoe, VP of hardware engineering to tell you all about it."
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:10:58 PM
(Not sure if I got her name right)
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:11:10 PM
I see USB-C ports, at least 2
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:11:11 PM
"Every part of the product has been redesigned and re-engineered," she says. (shows an image of a gold model)
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:11:17 PM
"It's absolutely beautiful."
Lynn La 10/30/2018 2:11:24 PM
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:11:24 PM
This is a very enthusiastic crowd today

"The No. 1 feature customers have wanted in a MacBook Air is a Retina Display but we've made the display better in every possible way."
Sarah Tew 10/30/2018 2:11:44 PM
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:11:52 PM
Very MacBook Pro like bezel
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:11:54 PM
HOW DID IT TAKE THIS LONG to make a Retina display MacBook Air?
Sarah Tew 10/30/2018 2:11:56 PM
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:11:57 PM
The aluminum bezel is gone, the display glass goes all the way to the border. 13.3-inch display
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:12:14 PM
"When it comes to resolution, we've taken the pixels and quadrupled them. Over 4 million pixels"
Lynn La 10/30/2018 2:12:20 PM
Lynn La 10/30/2018 2:12:24 PM
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:12:27 PM
Same 13.3-inch screen size, and the resolution is...wait I gotta do some math
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:12:30 PM
"So the text and images are sharper and more detailed. And with 48% more color, those images are more lifelike than ever."
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:12:42 PM
uh, 1,440x800 times 4, I guess.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:12:49 PM
"Even with this narrower border design, we were able to keep the FaceTime camera at the top of the display."
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:13:09 PM
"The MacBook Air has another new feature customers have been asking for. And that's TouchID"
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:13:12 PM
2,880x1,600? Might be wrong, they didn't say the exact resolution
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:13:17 PM
Interesting this is coming back in Macs when it's going way in mobile devices
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:13:25 PM
Ah! Touch ID but no touch bar.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:13:40 PM
"We've put the TouchID sensor right into the keyboard. MacBook Air has the T2 security chip"
dan.ackerman 10/30/2018 2:13:50 PM
Great idea, frankly. And includes T2 security chip, as per MacBook Pro, etc. Hmmm...this is starting to sound expensive.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:14:04 PM
"Offering the Air the most secure boot process of any notebook. T2 also features an SSD controller that has automatic, on-the-fly data encryption."
