Before venturing inside, we take a quick survey of some of the the new Air's external features.

On its underbelly we find some fine print, and some color-matched pentalobe screws.

Opening it up, we're greeted with a familiar 3rd-gen butterfly keyboard, and we immediately have MacBook Pro flashbacks.

The Air bears a remarkable resemblance to the Touch Bar-less 13" MacBook Pro—apart from thickness and Touch ID, they are nigh indistinguishable.

...and despite the "Air" nomenclature, this makes the 12" MacBook look like a lightweight by comparison.
