    • Abstract:
      (The 12-inch MacBook, meanwhile, was just over 2 pounds!) With the advantages that Apple silicon has brought to the company's current Macs, it would be truly impressive to see what it could do for a smaller, lighter notebook. Alas, only the good die young, and the 11-inch Air was discontinued in 2019, the same year that Apple discontinued its other small laptop (and putative Air replacement), the 12-inch MacBook.
