Apple has identified an issue with the logic board in some models of the MacBook Air 2018, and while the issue only affects a “very small number” of the laptops, according to Apple, the company will fix the affected machines free of charge.
As 9to5Mac reports, Apple has sent an internal document to Apple Stores and authorised repair stores that reveals there’s an issue with the main logic board in the 13-inch Retina versions of the MacBook Air 2018. However, not all models are affected – only machines with a certain serial numbers.
According to the document, Apple says the issues are to do with “power”, but doesn’t not explain in depth what those problems are.

At the time of writing, Apple has not publicly disclosed the issue, and it’s not listed on its “Exchange and Repair Extension Programs” webpage, which usually lists recall and repair programs.
