The MacBook Air, Apple’s most popular Mac, is fully, finally back.
And I don’t say that lightly. In October of 2018, Apple brought the Air out of hibernation and gave it a modern makeover. Mostly.It got the updated design, high density, Retina display, and USB-C interface that made the 12-inch MacBook, its once-and-former-successor, so compelling.
But, it also inherited the butterfly keyboard, which was meant to be thinner and more stable, but ultimately proved to be divisive and unreliable.
It got Intel’s coreM low-power chipset, which was fine for casual and ultra-mobile workflows, but wasn’t up as robust as the former Air’s Core I.
And, it was more expensive. Not than the 12-inch or the initial prices of the previous Airs, but than the low, low price the immediately previous Air had dropped to over the years.
Now, some 18 months later, Apple is aiming to fix all of that with an even more modern update. Again, mostly.

Another excellent review Rene, bravo! This year’s MacBook Air seems to be a great choice for someone like me. I own an iPad 7th generation, for media consumption and this laptop will be ideal for word editing and some basic productivity tasks.
this would have been a sure buy had it not been for the thermal issues. i guess i just have to wait for the 14” pro for god knows how long.
Can this play gta 5 along with normal web browsing?? Im thinking of doing the i5 processor and 16GB for £1300? Is it worth it??
It’s a shame, the latest butterfly keyboards are perfect 😔
This MBA is the best Mac laptop for most people, including and especially those who have more powerful desktops. I wouldn't get it if it was my only computer. I wouldn't get it if I had an iPad Pro 12.9. But if I didn't want an iPad (which I would argue is a much better value proposition) and I had a powerful desktop Mac (like the iMac); and I wanted a secondary computer to take with me or use around the house, I would get this. This is the best internet, web browsing, email championing machine on the planet, IMO. The turbo boosts in short bursts will make performing those tasks just fly – especially with the stellar single core performance and fantastic SSDs, combined with the refinement of MacOS. But anything that requires sustained performance, either graphically or computationally, this is just not the machine to get. Not because its components are not capable, but rather because the cooling is just very, very poor. But again, most people aren't buying this machine to do 'real work.' They're buying it to browse the internet on the couch or at the kitchen table. This computer is fantastic for those things.
Lol; "Apple's current gold" is pretty funny, Rene. It is completely true but funny nonetheless. Apple's gold, silver and space grey have really traded shades over the years, with the latter two more so on the phones and over the past couple of years. You certainly can't just say 'gold' anymore and convey with any sense of accuracy.
Yeah. I just bought the i7. Not here yet, but really excited. Replacing a Late 2103 MBP. As silly as it may sound, I am buying it, in large part, for the ability to Sidecar with my iPad Pro, which my 2013 can't do. As always, thanks for the video, Rene.
Is this gold the same color as the ipad 2018 gold?
Really debating between a new MacBook air or a surface pro 7 😒 trying to find something that'll work well for me in dental school
This is the first Macbook I would try out after always using windows. Very good display, and I'm especially interested in trying out the OS itself. It finally come to a price what I can call "quite affordable". The only problem in my country we have 27% taxes, so even the base model is 1250$ instead of 999 🙁 I would buy a i5-processor variant with 8gb ram and 512GB SSD, which costs 1620 $… damn it 😀
Zoom 😬😬😬😬😬
Guy’s can use the programs editing video like adobe and another programs on macbook air core i 5 2020 or not
I’m wondering if this can be used for programming? Python and C to be more specific.
The 2x bass and more volume claim on the new MBA page is in relation to the pre retina model, not last years model, if you follow down to the footnotes. Misled me at first too.
Should I buy this for high school and for when I start university last year? Or save for the 2020 Macbook Pro?
We don't want to see your face, show us the laptop, god…
Good laptop for college?
I got mine for free from my school.
I wish they still made these in Rose Gold
Man… you are out of breath, relax…
It’s probably hard to keep pumping out tech vids in the current climate when a certain virus is on the minds of most. Please keep it up, it gives people something to take their minds off stuff for a bit, and look forward to when it all eventually passes. 👍
