when released in october 2010, the 13-inch model's screen resolution was higher than the average 1366x768 screens of similar sized laptops. however, by mid-2013, with many premium ultrabooks having high resolution screens (1080p or greater) as standard or upgrades, the macbook air was increasingly criticized for sticking with a low-resolution screen. many in the tech community had expected apple to release a macbook air with retina display by mid-2013, similar to the macbook pro retina which came out in 2012. the october 2013 refresh of the 13-inch macbook pro retina, with a slimmer chassis and a lower price point, was mentioned as a potential macbook air alternative as the battery life is not much shorter while not being considerably bulkier. apple released an entry-level version of the 13-inch macbook pro on october 27, 2016, which was specifically targeted towards macbook air users. a retina macbook air was released in late 2018.
