Like the older MacBook Pro models, the compact Air boasts a thin, light and sleek aluminium chassis, state-of-the-art hardware, and the iconic Retina display with True Tone automatic colour adjustment.

Inside the average MacBook Air 13 2020 is as follows: an eight-thread caliber low-power processor, 8 GB of RAM and a fast 256-512 GB SSD. That is, in terms of performance, this is an average level of pure water - a bit too much for an office, not enough for serious tasks. However in 2020, Apple unexpectedly equalized the Air and Pro series, equipping them with almost identical Apple M1 mobile processors.


Other notable features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, a quality webcam with three microphones, a backlit keyboard, and the excellent Force Touch touchpad that senses pressure. It is a pleasure to work on it, but then I don’t want to return to the mouse at all. For 2020 models, instead of unreliable butterfly keyboards, Apple has returned to a proven option in the face of the Magic Keyboard.

The last significant update to the Air series happened in 2016, and since then, Apple has been releasing more cosmetic updates with current processors once a year. Previously, these were Core i3 and Core i5, now Apple's own M1 chips. Models with them are slightly more expensive than analogues from Intel. Prices start at $1,000. With a strong desire to save money, you should pay attention to the models of 2017 or even earlier versions.
