This new machine features a Retina Display, two USB-C ports, Touch ID, and a lot more inside its chassis that’s thinner and lighter than previous generations of the Air. If you’re looking to pick it up, it starts at $1,199 and moves up if you want more solid state storage. > We expect plenty of retailers to stock the new MacBook Air once it releases, though preorder rights belong exclusively to Apple. Should Best Buy, Walmart, or any of the usual suspects stock Apple’s new MacBook, we’ll update this post.
