The "Retina" MacBook Q&A answers "How fast are the 'Mid-2017' MacBook models compared to their predecessors? Are they faster or slower than the MacBook Air?" and "What is the best USB-C display to use with the Retina MacBook?" as well as much more about the three different lines.
The MacBook Air Q&A answers "What is the difference between the new '2017' MacBook Air and the model it replaced? Is there a difference?" and "What SD Card Slot storage solution is best for the MacBook Air? Is this kind of storage safe?" and more about Apple’s long-lived notebook lineup.
EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who continue to contribute info. It’s appreciated always.
