The MacBook Air’s wedge is truly gone — and I miss it already


To me, the wedge represented a clear and distinct identity for the Air.

Logically speaking, losing the wedge shape doesn’t affect how well the newer Airs work. I distinctly remember spending an afternoon ten years ago at a cafe in San Francisco, eavesdropping on several groups of young entrepreneurs dreaming up the next big thing. The newer Airs, with their flat profiles and squared edges, look a lot more like a Pro with fewer ports, but as the Pros slim down and get lighter, it’s not a guarantee that when I pick one up, I’ll know which is which.
