The new MacBook Air isn’t just great for you but it is actually also great for the environment as it now uses 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed circuit boards as well as 100 percent recycled rare earth elements inside all of the magnets in the laptop. It doesn’t just stop there though because the MacBook Air even uses 100 percent recycled cobalt in its MagSafe connector as well as 90 percent recycled steel in its battery tray. Apple has kept the environment in mind in the past when designing their products and that’s why they have quite high standards for energy efficiency, which this MacBook definitely meets as it is free from mercury, PVC and beryllium. Apple has a goal to have all plastic removed from their packaging by 2025, and with this product they are brought one step closer thanks to its packaging, which is 99 percent fibre based.
Final Words
So, with all of these awesome features that you get with the new 15-inch MacBook Air, the only thing that could be stopping you is the price. However, with a starting price of $1,299, it really isn’t that absurd considering that the overall performance is a lot better than most other laptops in the premium range, that already cost this much anyways.
