New MacBook Air 2018 Review vs. MacBook Pro : Performance gap wider than the price difference

Buy it on Amazon - http://lon.tv/0kycj (affiliate link) - The new Macbook Air 2018 doesn't live up to the thin and light heritage its name suggests and costs only $100 less than the more powerful Macbook Pro. See more laptops: http://lon.tv/laptops and subscribe! http://lon.tv/s
