The newest MacBook Air was just revealed during WWDC 2023, but its launch is right around the corner on June 13. Preorders are now open for the premium, ultra-thin laptop, and multiple models (and colors) are up for grabs. The 2023 MacBook Air starts at $1,300, which is fairly pricey compared to existing MacBook Air models. But there's no doubt you’re getting a lot for your money.

Regardless of which SSD you opt for, you’ll also be able to choose from four unique colors--Silver, Midnight, Space Gray, and Starlight. Toss in up to 18 hours of battery life, a fanless design for quiet operation, and a 1080p FaceTime camera, and you’ve got a laptop that has everything you need for work, school, or even a bit of gaming.

The MacBook Pro 512GB is now $2,250 (down from $2,500), while the MacBook Pro 1TB is $2,200 (down from $2,500). This particular 1TB model also sports a smaller 14.2-inch display than the 512GB model, which offers a 16.2-inch screen.
