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 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.

80% MacBook Air (2020) Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
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
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
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 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.

With a cheaper entry price and an improved keyboard, the only thing against the excellence of the 2020 MacBook Air is its less-than-full-day battery life. Otherwise it’s the go-to laptop we’d recommend to most people.

80% MacBook Air (2020) review: The default option, again
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
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.

Hands on: MacBook Air (2020) review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
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.

The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
