New 2018 MacBook Air Shown Off in Unboxing Videos on YouTube

Following the introduction of new iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/), MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/), and Mac mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-mini/) models at yesterday's event, Apple provided some YouTubers with <!---->MacBook Air<!----> review units, and the first unboxing videos are now available.





For its last several product releases, Apple has been providing early review units to smaller YouTubers, a strategy that lets us get opinions on the new device from less mainstream sources. Today's unboxing videos provide some interesting <!---->MacBook Air<!----> tidbits and a first look at Apple's newest notebook.
