Updates brought Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel's Thunderbolt. Called the "unibody" model because its case was machined from a single piece of aluminum, it had a thinner flush display, a redesigned trackpad whose entire surface consisted of a single clickable button, and a redesigned keyboard. The unibody model debuted in October 2008 in 13- and 15-inch variants, with a 17-inch variant added in January 2009. Later revisions added Intel Core 2 Duo processors and LED-backlit displays. The 15-inch model was introduced in January 2006 the 17-inch model in April. The original MacBook Pro used the design of the PowerBook G4, but replaced the PowerPC G4 chips with Intel Core processors, added a webcam, and introduced the MagSafe power connector.

Introduced in January 2006, it is the higher-end lineup in the MacBook family, sitting above the consumer-focused MacBook Air.

Emails will be sent out informing all 2018 MacBook Air owners who have the faulty logic board that a repair is required and what to do next.Īpple Stores and authorized third-party repair outlets can perform the repair, but it's not known how long it will take to swap out the logic board. Thankfully, it's not a fire risk like the 2015 MacBook Pro, and Apple will carry out the repair for free.Īs 9To5Mac reports (Opens in a new window), the specific model of the MacBook Air (Opens in a new window) affected is the Retina 13-inch and Apple knows specifically which serial numbers need repairing.
