The Definitive Guide to buying a MacBook Air

I reviewed all the currently available (in 2024) Apple MacBook Air laptops to give you a good idea of which one is right for YOU right now or to help you decide whether or not to upgrade to a newer MacBook Air.
My best advice is...
1. Watch this video in full BEFORE you decide to buy a MacBook Air or upgrade your current MacBook!
2. Don't fall into Apple's sneaky upgrade trap, or you'll end up spending hundreds of dollars/pounds more than you anticipated!
