Aside from the new Apple iPad Pro and Mac mini, the company's MacBook Air makes a comeback this year with several new upgrades. In fact, it has been reported that the new MacBook Mini is using an Intel processor which is related to the W Y-Series Amber Lake chips and it's really powerful. That said, the starting price listed on the Apple Malaysia is RM4142.
Coming in silver, space grey and gold. The new MacBook Mini looks the same but it has been redesigned to be thinner and lighter than its previous predecessors featuring a 13.3-inch Retina display (which has 4 million pixels), TouchID and a new keyboard with a built-in Butterfly mechanism and a 20% larger Force Touch trackpad.

In addition, it's also using two Thunderbolt 3 ports that can be used for charging, display output and data transfer up to 40Gbps.

On top of that, there's an Apple T2 Security Chip integrated as well to make the notebook more secure, all your data stored on the SSD, Touch ID, document authentication, on-the-fly data are fully encrypted. Battery duration is able to go up to 12 hours of surfing the web and 13 hours on iTunes movie playback.
