Own Your Dream MacBook Air thru Beyond the Box Zero24 Installments Lifestyle Bundles
Now is the perfect time to turn your dream into reality. Starting September 1st, the MacBook Air 11” & 13” 128GB variants will be available in super easy Zero24 installments and will be offered with three unique lifestyle bundles at no extra cost.
The Most Beautiful Laptop You Can Own
It’s not an overstatement. The MacBook Air is the most beautiful laptop you can own.
From the outside, the aluminum unibody design looks modern and minimalist. The tapering edges also make the laptop genuinely attractive and impressive. Although it’s the same chassis design we’ve been seeing since 2010, there’s really nothing to complain about since it resonates with ’premiumness’ that you can only get from Apple.
Measuring 17mm in diameter and weighing at 1.4kg, the MacBook Air is gorgeously thin and surprisingly light. It’s light enough that it’s barely noticeable in your bag and robust enough that you don’t feel like it’s going to break when you use it.
Overall, this laptop sends an unequivocal message: the MacBook Air is an engineering feat – one that cannot be copied.
