This Is the MacBook Air Upgrade You've Been Waiting For
The new 13-inch Apple laptop doesn't reinvent the form, but at least you can type on it properly.- Excellent keyboard—with no Touch Bar! Solid performance. Lightweight and slim. Great build quality, and there's a nice screen too.
- It's 2020, can we get a better webcam? Needs more USB-C ports. Battery life could be improved.
Apple MacBook Air (2020) (Review Apple MacBook Air (2020))
A redesigned keyboard and lower price make the Air easy to recommend- Improved keyboard action and feel, Sleek, lightweight design, Multiple color options, Long battery life, Reasonably priced, for a Mac
- As ever, no touch screen, Limited port selection, Lackluster raw computing performance, No support for Wi-Fi 6
Pretty good
Upgraded from 2010 Mac Book Pro. So everything I expected.

- performance of native apps
- Thunderbolt with limitations
- large display bezels
- 720p webcam
- stability in Rosetta emulated apps
- CPU throttling under longer load
- relatively slow WiFi 6 at only 80 MHz

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch: Apple M1 Chip with 8 Core CPU and 8 Core GPU 512GB storage - Space Grey MGN73X/A review
With the 13-inch MacBook Pro already upping the ante, the new M1-based MacBook Air really throws down the gauntlet for rival ultraportable laptops. It might seem expensive for an entry-level offering, but the performance of the M1 chip gives the late 2020 MacBook Air a new lease of life.- Speedy M1 SoC
- Outstanding battery life
- Rosetta 2 emulation works well with Intel-native apps
- Slimline
- lightweight design
- Design is looking a bit dated
- No CPU upgrade options
- Expensive RAM and storage upgrades
- Only two Thunderbolt ports

Were Charles Darwin here today, once he’d finished screaming at us for tinkering with necromancy and demanding to know what the heck a Lexus was, I think he’d want to see the new MacBook Air.- Apple M1 is astonishingly fast
- Excellent battery life
- Compatibility with non-native apps is impressive
- 720p webcam is still underwhelming
- Lack of an embedded 4G/5G option is frustrating
