Apple has finally unveiled a long-awaited revamp of the MacBook Air, replacing the influential but outdated laptop with a new model that adds a high-resolution Retina display, USB-C, and Touch ID. The laptop strongly resembles the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro released two years ago, but the design has been tweaked with a subtle taper to make it a bit smaller — and to more closely resemble the iconic Air.

The laptop was unveiled on stage at the Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, and now Apple has brought us out into a demo area to check out the new machines. It really does look a lot like a MacBook Pro, but the taper makes a huge difference in the overall feel of the device. I can fully understand why Apple just went for it and called this a MacBook Air — because that’s what it feels like.
