The new macbook air and mac mini 2018 are now official

In addition to the new generation of iPad Pro, the event organized by Apple has already left us with its new laptops. The Cupertino company already presents the new versions of the MacBook Air and Mac Mini 2018. After a long time without changes in this range, the company finally introduces new features in it, which are sure to delight users.

The new MacBook Air and Mac Mini 2018 are already official

It seemed that these two families were destined to disappear, seeing the little attention that Apple was giving them in these years, but now we find an important renovation in them.

MacBook Air 2018

This new generation of MacBook Air leaves us with a retina screen, thus following other Apple products in this regard. It is a retina screen 13.3 inches in size, which also gives us 48% more colors than the previous generation, thanks to the 4 million pixels in it. Apple has also reduced the size of the device significantly, but maintaining a power similar to that of the MacBook Pro.

Another novelty is the incorporation of a Touch ID in it, with which to protect access to it. If there is more than one user, it will allow you to log in to the account associated with each one. For better security, Apple has made use of the second generation T2 chip. The trackpack has been increased in size, as it is now 20% larger.

Another change is found in the keyboard, which introduces a butterfly design, which increases the stability of the keys. As expected, the keys on this MacBook Air are backlit. In this way we can write in the dark in a simple way.

As a processor, the firm has opted for an eighth-generation Intel Core i5. It is possible to expand RAM up to 16 GB and the SSD can reach 1.5 TB of capacity. Autonomy remains as a strong point in it, according to Apple is 12 hours long. As for connections, we find two USB-C ports on the MacBook Air.

Apple presents two versions of this new laptop, when it comes to storage and RAM. Both versions can be reserved now on the company's website. Its release is scheduled for November 7 worldwide. These are the versions and their prices:

• MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage: from 1, 349 euros. MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage: at a price of 1, 599 euros.

Mac Mini 2018

Secondly, the 2018 Mac Mini awaits us. A new model, also renewed in terms of specifications, which is the only option that Apple makes available to those users who want to use their own monitor, keyboard or mouse. It comes with a series of important changes that we have to take into account.

Color is the first and most notable change in the Mac Mini, as it changes to a special shade of gray, which we have seen in other Apple products in recent months, and it seems to be gaining quite a presence in its catalog.

Users will be able to choose two base models in this Mac Mini. The first of them has an eighth-generation Intel Core i3 processor with quad-core 3.6 GHZ, 8 GB RAM and internal storage in the form of a 128 GB SSD. This model comes with a price of 899 euros.

Apple gives us the possibility to customize it, and to be able to add a six-core Intel Core i7 processor, which will then cost an additional 350 euros, in addition to expanding the RAM to 64 GB, which would cost 1, 689 euros more to the user.

The second model in question has a 3 GHz 8-core six-core Intel Core i5 processor, with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 GB internal storage in the form of an SSD. Its price in this case is 1, 249 euros. Again, we have the option to customize it:

• I 8th generation Intel Core i7 (additional € 240) Expand RAM up to 64 GB Expand SSD up to 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB

As far as connectivity is concerned, both versions of the Mac Mini offer us the following connectivity options:

• Two USB 3USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports 3.5mm headphone jack DisplayPortThunderboltThunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI and VGA HDMI 2.0 port Gigabit Ethernet port

They can be booked now on the Apple website and their launch on the market will take place officially on November 7 worldwide.

These are the new Mac Mini and MacBook Air. Two laptops that make clear the renewal of ranges of the American firm, which will have to be seen how users receive them.
