Apple refreshed its iconic MacBook Air last week with a True Tone display and a $100 price decrease. The MacBook Air lineup showcases Apple’s obsession with thin notebooks, as the company proudly states during its launch events. Apple’s latest refresh is targetted towards students as the Cupertino tech giant is looking to take the market away from Google’s Chromebooks. However, if you’re looking to get a 2019 MacBook Air for yourself, we’ve got news that might interest you. Take a look below for more details.

While we’re yet to see a teardown of the 2019 MacBook Air, French publication Consomac carried out some tests on the ultra-thin notebook. The tests show bad news for folks who love fast reading speeds on their gadgets. According to Black Magic’s Dark Speed Test, the 2019 MacBook Air with a 256GB Solid State Drive reads data at 1.3GB/s. This is lower than the previous model’s 2GB/s read speed.
