MMGG2 MACBOOK AIR 2016 (Replacement of MGVG2)
Last year Apple released the new line of MacBook, which was a huge success due to its countless, incredible features. The Ultrabook was thin, smart and also featured a retina display. The fame of the series compelled Apple to carry on with the same line and as a result, the 2016 model is here. Now the burning question is that if Apple has made any significant improvements to their previous model that can lure you into splashing some extra cash? Here is a review that will help you in making your decision.

First of all, Apple MacBook Air MMGG2 Core i5 08GB 256GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 6000 13" is a spectacular looking laptop and the design, size adjustment, and overall build is remarkable. It gives you a glimpse of an iPad when it’s folded, and it’s one of the easiest to carry kind of thing.
As far as the processor is concerned, the core i5 is now equipped with an 8GB of ram instead of 4, and it has comprehensively addressed all the complaints regarding the slow processor speed for MacBook Air’s previous model. According to various performance test reports, the 2016 model is about 12 percent faster than its predecessor, and that’s indeed an appreciative boost. Apple is known for designing the coolest and most advanced keyboards and trackpads, and this specific model is no different. In fact, Apple has further made some adjustments to enhance the pressure sensitivity of its trackpad and as a result, it has added more comfort for the users.
The part many won’t like is that the MacBook still comes with a single USB-C port. However, this single USB port is still one of the best technically sound panels, and it is capable of performing the assigned duties with ease. The best thing is the integration of Intel HD Graphics 6000 which has enhanced and boosted the speed and graphics to the next level. The 256GB flash drive is way too swifter than the previous model, and various efficiencies have increased the battery time as well.
The 13’ retina display provides you with a high pixel density and an intelligent combination of deep contrast and bright colors. There is a remarkable bump in speed storage as well. As per the reports, Apple has claimed that there is 20 percent increase in average write performance and an astonishing increment of 90 percent in read performance. If the claim made by the company is true, then you would have an 860/Mbps write rate and 935/Mbps read rate, which, to be honest, is more than one could expect. A powerful, compact GPU is enough to write off any doubts regarding the lagging issues, and it’s efficient enough to run 1080p videos smoothly. We all know that Apple products are not cheap, but this particular product does justify its price tag.
Overall, the Apple MacBook Air MMGG2 Core i5 08GB 256GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 6000 13" is anything but perfect and it’s certainly a shade better than its previous model. www.paklap.pk is the place where you can find and book the product right away.
