Compact, Lightweight, and Silent
With its now-affordable price, this MacBook Air is an attractive option for students seeking a portable device for note-taking and coursework. Featuring a 13-inch Retina True Tone display and weighing just 1.29 kilograms, it easily slips into a backpack.
A key benefit of this laptop is its fanless design, ensuring completely silent operation – a departure from earlier Apple models. The battery provides a respectable 15 hours of use, easily lasting a full workday.
The M1 Chip Still Shines
The most significant upgrade in this MacBook Air is the M1 chip, which replaced Intel processors in previous generations. This 2020 MacBook Air is the last computer compatible with macOS 15, a detail that sets it apart from older machines.
While Apple has since released the M5 chip and subsequent iterations, the first-generation M1 remains capable. It can effortlessly handle everyday tasks such as video streaming, note-taking, and email. The M1 chip’s performance marked a significant leap in efficiency and power for Apple’s laptops.
Unlike Intel-based Macs, this laptop also performs well with video editing and photo retouching. However, its 8GB of RAM may present limitations for resource-intensive projects like 3D rendering. The MacBook Air also includes 256GB of storage, two USB-C ports, and Touch ID for secure authentication.
