The Best version of Macbook Air is nowhere, with no more butterfly keyboard. They are designed exquisitely for students at an excellent price.
This year Apple has launched its Macbook Air, 2020 edition on the 18th of March 2020. It's undoubtedly doing well in the market because everyone admires this new version of Macbook Air. Staring from students to any professionals, everyone appreciates & affirms this stunning laptop.
So, those who are planning to buy an Apple laptop this year, especially those who prefer macOS, but still confused about what to buy, this article will help you make the decision. Because so far, Macbook Air is the most wanted Apple laptop of this year, in terms of performance, appearances, stability, budget, and so forth.
In The Box:
The brand Macbook Air 2020 comes up in a stylish white box designed elegantly for the Apple lovers. Once you unbox it, you can find your most embraced Macbook Air in it. This year also it has appeared in the most attractive three colours that are, Silver, Space Grey, and Gold. Inside the box, you can find a 30-watt USB-C power adapter and the USB-C cable (2m).
Design:
If we talk about the design of the all-new Macbook Air 2020, it is quite similar to the previous generation, which was Macbook Air 2019. In the middle of the top part of the laptop, you can see our favourite chic mirror apple logo.
If we talk about the material, then it is made of 100% recycled aluminium, which is extraordinary because Apple is considering the environment, which is a significant step taken by them. It saves almost 47% of carbon emissions.
Sizewise, it is again similar to the last generation Macbook Air in terms of height, width. And if we talk about the weight, it is of 1.29kgs or 2.8 pounds. On the left side, it has two USB-C Thunderbolt ports, one of them can now support up to 6K display. Meaning Macbook 2020 can now support Apple’s XDR Pro. This is, I must say, one of the most significant changes. The laptop has got only one Audio Jack Port.
Keyboard:
This year, Apple has made a significant advancement. The main catch of the all-new Macbook Air. And can draw all your attention. That is, after a long wait, Apple has finally changed its keyboard. Till the last generation, they used to promote their butterfly keyboard. Still, now this year, they have introduced the perfect keyboard, which has magic in it.
Well, jokes apart, this keyboard now has the all-new scissor mechanism that provides a millimetre of travel. That we saw on the last Macbook Pro 2019, 16-inch—named as Magic keyboard. Last year the butterfly keyboard received much criticism, but this year Apple just bounced back, which is striking. Also, it has an inverted ''T'' shaped arrow key. That can give you a fantastic typing experience.
Also added an extra portion for the touch ID sensor to unlock your laptop. The trackpad is a Force Touch trackpad, which is again an excellent pressure-sensitive trackpad as expected. It'sIt's 20% extra large now.
Display:
As far as I can tell, the display is quite similar to last year's Macbook Air. MacBook Air has a 13.3-inch Retina display, with True-Tone Technology. It has got around a 227 PPI Pixel density. This means it has over 4 million pixels. It provides a sharp text clarity, with 48% more colours. The 2020 MacBook Air has a high-resolution display. So, we can make a clear idea about the display attribute of this laptop.
Processor:
Apple claims that this laptop can be up to two times faster than the last year’s model. Apple is promising up to two times more power, and it’s easy to guess because last year Macbook Air was powered by an eighth-generation Intel processor while the 2020 model has 10th generation processors, and for the first time in the series, you have the option to upgrade to a quad-core i7 processor.
Storage:
For even more power, you also get twice the amount of storage than the last year Macbook Air, which is now 256 gigabytes on the base model, which you can again upgrade to 2TBs. That is massive.
Graphics:
Graphic lovers, if you're willing to spend a little extra for the graphic performance, then you also get a speed bump. Thanks to the new Intel Iris Plus graphics chip. Apple says it comes with an 80% graphics boost.
Touch ID:
This laptop has a unique touch ID feature on the keyboard. It will act as your password. While unlocking your laptop or at the time of providing a password. Also, during the online payment. It will help you in every way. It would be best if you put your finger on it.
Apple T2 Security Chip:
MacBook Pro with Touch ID bar has a special t2 chip in it. The main objective was to manage the system management controller and touch id sensor within the touch bar. The system management controller operates as a reliable Enclave for the processing and encryption of fingerprints as well as the microphone and FaceTime HD camera. This means hackers cannot access any of that without going through the T2 chip encryption, which is an arduous process.
Battery:
Now all this extra power does not come with a cost of battery life. Because Apple still promises a full day of use or about 11 hours of web browsing and 12 hours of video playback.
Conclusion:
Now, lastly, comes the big question, that is, should we buy this Macbook Air 2020 or not? As we can see, Apple has upgraded this Macbook Air from last year and made it so powerful, performance-wise. Still, then also a question comes to your mind: is it worth spending $100 extra for the i5 upgrade?
Well, I think yes, you should upgrade. Because the i3 on Macbook air is much more capable than before, then with that, further up-gradation to the i5 processor can be a solid choice. Honestly, this laptop is one of the best laptops in the market. However, it has both advantages and a few disadvantages. Those are explained below:
So, as we can see, this laptop has many advantages. So I think It will be able to handle any everyday tasks whatever you throw at it. Even I believe the extra $250 for the i7 is also worth it. It is even cheaper than last year's Macbook Air 2019. It is easy to carry, thin, and lightweight. You can take it anywhere, perfect for those who want to carry a portable Mac.
In terms of sound quality, video quality, storage, battery life from every other aspect, it is proven to be the perfect laptop that you can trust. Macbook Air 2020 is the laptop of this year and can be used by anyone from any profession. It will run and do every work smoothly, without any hazard.
