Review: Apple gives MacBook Air (most) of the love it's been lacking

Apple unveiled a new Macbook Air today at an event in Brooklyn, N.Y. Think a major update to the MacBook Air was long overdue? The last time Apple bestowed this much attention on the notebook the company claims as its "most loved Mac," Barack Obama was in his first term in the White House. Sure, we've seen some specs bumps along the way, and my own lightweight MacBook Air – circa mid-2013 – has been a reliable workhorse. But the No. 1 feature fans of the Air have had on our wish lists for years is the kind of beautiful high-resolution Retina display that Apple previously reserved for the most expensive computers in its mobile lineup, notably the priciest MacBook Pros, but also the most recent MacBook.
