89.6% Apple MacBook Air 2020 Review: Is the Core i3 the better choice? | Notebookcheck
Apple equips the entry-level SKU of the MacBook Air with a dual-core processor, but is the performance still sufficient in 2020? Or should you get a configuration with a quad-core CPU? And: What are the effects on the temperatures and the fan noise?

The MacBook Air 2020 is a great laptop. If you’re a student or just someone who want a thin and light Mac that can be had for under a grand, then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in the slightest.

80% Apple MacBook Air (2020) review: Keyboard dreams become a reality
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The new Air's price drop to just under four-figures will also be critical to its appeal, which is why we feel the MacBook Air once again becomes the Mac to buy. So if you need a MacBook and don't need huge amounts of power for video or photo editing, this is the one for you.

If you're an existing user of a non-Retina MacBook Air from 2017 or earlier and were holding out for an upgrade, I feel the 2020 refresh is worth going for. The more compact body, better display, more efficient processor, and higher SSD capacity are all big upgrades. Plus, the new keyboard finally fixes the many complaints users have had with Apple's previous keyboard. The pricing might not be as aggressive as what the non-Retina models were selling for a couple of years ago in India, but it's still a lower price compared to the 2018 MacBook Air, which is a step in the right direction.

This year's MacBook Air fixes a lot of our complaints with previous models. It comes with new, more powerful, innards, a drastically improved keyboard and more storage space. However, the screen is a little muted and battery life is average. Still, if you're an Apple fan looking for an affordable MacBook, we can heartily recommend the new MacBook Air – something we've not been able to do with previous versions.

2020 Apple MacBook Air review: A premium laptop for the masses

The 2020 Apple MacBook Air has an amazing design, great keyboard, a best-in-class trackpad, and plenty else to love. It's not for the power-hungry, but it makes for an amazing experience when you favor general quality over raw performance. It will do well for most people unless you require some real brawn.

$1299 MacBook Pro 2020 Review: How 8th-Gen is still GOOD
Source: Max Tech English Archive.org version
Apple's 2020 base 13" MacBook Pro has been refreshed with a couple of minor updates, so it seems like it's not the best value in the lineup. However, a lot of people could be making the mistake of avoiding this $1299 MacBook Pro because of the 8th-Gen processor, especially those who choose a MacBook Air instead. In this review, I talk about the differences between the Macbook Air and MacBook Pro models, as well as how the $1799 MacBook Pro compares. The 8th-Gen chip is the same as last year, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't perform well. It actually does perform fairly well! I also discuss the new Magic keyboard and other benefits you get with this year's base MacBook Pro.

The price tag is good and the keyboard is excellent. For those shopping at the low end, the 2020 MacBook Air is the true successor to the famous old Air, and the one you should buy today to replace your ageing old model. It also makes it a no-brainer choice for first-time or student MacBook buyers.

As affordable MacBooks go, Apple seems to have focused well on what users will want - namely, a lower price tag. The performance and build quality seem pretty strong in our early tests, and only a slightly muted color reproduction from the screen muddies the waters. However, that's a small gripe, and overall it seems that Apple has iterated nicely for the MacBook Air 2020.

88% Apple MacBook Air 2020 Core i5 Review – The best MacBook you can get? – No | Notebookcheck
The new 2020 MacBook Air is better thanks to an improved keyboard as well as more powerful CPUs. Many reviews even say it is the best MacBook you can get right now. If you have a closer look, however, you will still see the big problem with the performance and the cooling solution. Apple definitely missed an opportunity here.

80% MacBook Air (2020) review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
This year's MacBook Air fixes a lot of our complaints with previous models. It comes with new, more powerful, innards, a drastically improved keyboard and more storage space. However, the screen is a little muted and battery life is average. Still, if you're an Apple fan looking for an affordable MacBook, we can heartily recommend the new MacBook Air – something we've not been able to do with previous versions.

Apple MacBook Air 2020 Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
So, who should get this laptop? The MacBook Air 2020 is a good recommendation for first-time MacBook owners who want the most affordable option in the 2020 lineup and will use it for light to moderate tasks. It becomes a more enticing recommendation if you already own a few Apple devices like an iPhone. But for creators who are looking for something more powerful to handle heavier workloads, we’d recommend getting the MacBook Pro instead.

90% MacBook Air (2020) review: Nobody does it better
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
If your need is regular computing with portability and reliability, then the MacBook Air is really the device you should look at. Yes, I know a lot of you will feel the price is beyond you, but I’ve now convinced the longer product life of this device will more than make up for that in the long run. Those who need more power for high-end tasks and a larger screen should look at the MacBook Pro instead. In the realm of the thinnest, lightest and most portable computers, the MacBook Air still blows the competition away.

The 2020 Apple MacBook Air has an amazing design, great keyboard, a best-in-class trackpad, and plenty else to love. It's not for the power-hungry, but it makes for an amazing experience when you favor general quality over raw performance. It will do well for most people unless you require some real brawn.

If you ask me, all things considered, the only thing I wished it had was support for Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 routers are getting plentiful these days and with the iPad Pro, iPhone 11, and iPhone 11 Pro already supporting this new wireless standard, it makes sense only for Apple’s newest notebooks to do the same. But that’s just a small blemish on an otherwise fantastic notebook. This is easily the best MacBook Air yet.

That said, for people that can upgrade a bit, the 2020 MacBook Air with a quad-core i5, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD is a fantastic option for its $1,300 street price. It’d be even better if doubling the RAM didn’t add another $200 to the price, but it’s the one I’d buy.

Why you should WAIT for the 2020 MacBook Pro!
Source: Max Tech English Archive.org version
The 2020 MacBook Air has been out for almost three weeks, and while we initially thought it would be a great alternative to the MacBook Pro because of its new quad-core CPU, we discovered a MASSIVE flaw with it. Instead, there's the 13" MacBook Pro which is great for performance. However, there are a few reasons why you shouldn't buy this model right now, and just wait for the refreshed 13" MacBook Pro, or maybe even the 14" MacBook Pro with Mini-LED display.

The MacBook Air is easier to recommend than before, thanks to a lower starting price, double the base storage and, most importantly, a redesigned keyboard that’s actually pleasant to type on. Other brands offer either a full-size USB port or longer battery life but all told, the Air is a well-rounded machine that gets most things right.

Take a 2019 13-inch MacBook Air. Now take the brand-new 2020 version. Put them next to each other and try to tell the two apart. You can't; they're identical. Until, that is, you open both lids. It's a subtle thing, but if you look closely there's a new look and feel to the keyboard. The flat, island-style keyboard is slightly raised on the new model versus the older one.

2020 MacBook Air review: No news is good news
Source: Six Colours English Archive.org version
If you don’t really need a new Mac laptop, maybe you should wait to see what happens with ARM. But if you’re someone who has been holding out for a new MacBook Air—and ideally one without that infamous keyboard—I wouldn’t recommend that you wait. This is the MacBook Air that you’ve been waiting for.

2020 MacBook Air review roundup: Magic Keyboard makes all the difference
Source: Cult of Mac English Archive.org version
Based on these early impressions, however, it seems the 2020 MacBook Air is — yet again — the kind of ultraportables. It’s amazingly thin and lightweight, lasts all day, is fast enough for common tasks, and is a joy to type on again.

I need to spend more time testing out the MacBook Air (2020), particularly when it comes to pushing its hardware to the limits. I plan to use the new Air as my main laptop over the next few days to see if it’s really capable of performing the same tasks my current mid-2017 13-inch MacBook Pro is.

MacBook Air users will be happy to have more power in a familiar, lightweight package. The new keyboard is good news too. Also, they’ll enjoy the peace of mind that it uses 100% recycled aluminium and 100% recycled tin in the circuit board solder.

Apple MacBook Air (2020) review: It's all about the keyboard
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
After years without only minor updates to the MacBook Air, finally redesigned the super-thin laptop in 2018. Now they're back again with a major refresh. The ports and exterior haven't changed much, but this model ditches the contentious butterfly keyboard for a vastly improved typing experience, and is the first MacBook Air to offer an option quad-core CPU.
