As it stands, the MacBook Air, at 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches and 2.8 pounds, is larger than the Dell XPS 13 (11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches, 2.8 pounds), but more compact than the 13.5-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (12.1 x 8.8 x 0.6 inches, 2.9 pounds). I hope the next version takes after the Dell XPS 13 and trims the bezels down further to allow for an even smaller footprint. While the design is great, there is room for improvement. Better yet, the base stays grounded on a flat surface when you open the lid - a magic trick more vendors should learn.

That isn't true of the MacBook Air thanks to the notch on the deck which lets you pry the lid up with one finger. It might only be a problem for nit-pickers but slim laptops can be difficult to open. The MacBook Air doesn't just look great, but its design is also practical. I wish Apple color-matched the keys with the exterior (see Surface Laptop 3), instead, the keyboard is black regardless of which color you choose. I reviewed the Space Gray variant - my personal preference - but the MacBook Air also comes in an understated silver or a flashier rose gold finish.
