Ah, so another MacBook Air is coming out, and every Mac user is looking forward to the release. Apple MacBook Air 2020 – Is It Worth Your Attention? Most noteworthy, this series has experienced multiple peaks and bounds in the last ten years. Consequently, in the world of laptops, Air created a dense blanket of popularity and soon became a benchmark for every laptop in the world. 

Above all, people prefer MacBook Air even after Apple’s statement. Through this statement, Apple says that MacBook Pro was better with its 13-inch base model in contrast to MacBook Air. For the reason that there is a huge demand for Air, multiple modifications were made in 2018. The 2018 model has a retina display, but the butterfly keyboard wasn’t good in terms of reliability.

Keeping these stats in mind, Apple is coming forward with MacBook Air 2020. This laptop will be the perfect fit for the majority of users with scissor-switch keyboard and Intel 10th generation parts. Even more, there are cutting-edge processors in this version of MacBook Air. In this article, we are sharing an in-depth review of MacBook Air 2020. So, have a look!

Design

First of all, the complaints regarding the heavyweight of laptops were topping the charts. Apple took into consideration the complaints and created a compact laptop. It is not the thinnest one in the market, but design and build quality is off the chart. Overall, it is pretty thin and lightweight. The dimensions of this laptop are 11.97 x 8.36 x 0.63 inches. 

Ports

Above all, there is no surfeit of ports in this model. There are two thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. Also, there is an audio port. The USB-C ports are fast-performing with a transfer speed of 40GB per second. Also, these ports work as charging ports. Similarly, you won’t need to invest in a separate charger for battery charging. 

Outlook 

Probably the prime reason for Apple’s success is the luxurious outlook of the products. So, MacBook Air 2020 has a similar yet premium brushed finish. There are three color options available; golden, space gray, and silver.

Keyboard

MacBook Air 2020 has a scissor mechanism keyword which aims at removing the reliability issues. Previously, the laptops had a butterfly keyboard design. As a result, the new keyboard design has a 1mm key distance to ensure high responsiveness for typing. Furthermore, T-shape has been implied to arrow keys offering higher intuitiveness. So, it’s needless to say that this keyboard design is already successful!

Security 

Security is the ultimate powering point for Apple products. This MacBook Air model has a touch ID fingerprint scanner. With this measure, biometric login is available for using the laptop and paying through Apple Pay. The fingerprint detection is pretty smart. 

Weight

With MacBook Air 2020, comes the innovative features and components. These components seem to increase the weight and size while enhancing the dimensions. However, it is still easy to carry around this laptop. In contrast to previous models, this laptop is a bit thick and weighs around 2.8 pounds. 

Price

The new entrants by Apple are always touching seventh skies in terms of price. But with this laptop, Apple has created a pretty low price ($999.) There is a dual-core 10th generation Intel core i3 processor in this laptop along with 8GB of RAM. Furthermore, the internal 256GB storage is available in this price structure.  Likewise, the hardware is pretty amazing. Even more, you will get a free subscription for Apple TV+ for an entire year upon buying this laptop. 

Display

The MacBook Air 2020 has a 13.3-inches display. Also, the resolution is pretty native, with 2,560 x 1,600 with a pixel density of 227 pixels per inch. This integration promises sharp image quality. Furthermore, the LED backlighting and IPS technology offering touch sensors. The True Tone technology is available as well, which adjusts the screen colors’ temperature according to variations in the ambient lighting of the space.  Above all, the True Tone technology is switchable (you can switch it off) to ensure color accuracy.

Performance

This laptop is everything a user can possibly ask for. The MacBook Air 2020 has an impeccable performance. You can open multiple tabs in Chrome while editing your YouTube videos, and this laptop will not slow down. In contrast, the slowdown is possible in switching between different apps and tasks. So, if you conduct intense multitasking on your laptop, this one might not be the fastest option out there. 

Furthermore, if there is a higher load on the laptop, it tends to heat up. But the fans are integrated to cool it down (fans can be loud), while CPU performance is lowered. This lowered CPU performance will reduce damage by reducing overheating. In other words, the CPU has lower performance on-purpose to reduce overheating. 

Battery Life

This laptop has 11 hours of battery life. In contrast, the battery life flinched to 8 hours with video playing. With the apps, it ended at 7 hours. However, this isn’t the negative thing as the battery tends to last the entire workday without charging. 

The Final Verdict

So, if you are looking for an affordable design with intuitive features, MacBook Air 2020 is the right choice. The battery life is excellent, while the display will sweep you off your feet. The only considerable point is multitasking (it doesn’t offer hardcore multitasking) because it slows down the performance. Hence, it’s a pretty good option out there!
