A chip is still relevant

By deciding to design its own ARM chip, Apple shook up the market with the MacBook Air M1 2020. This model supersedes the Intel processors that powered its predecessors. It’s simple: the performance is significantly better than what the more expensive Intel MacBook Pro offers. For comparison, processor performance is up to 3.5 times faster than Intel, and graphics performance is up to 5 times faster.

Since then, the California firm has introduced new, more powerful chips, but the M1 still holds its own very well. This ultrabook it remains a very good deal, especially given its current price. Office tasks as well as more creative and professional tasks like video or photo editing will be performed smoothly. In addition, the MacBook Air M1 is very quiet and almost does not heat up even without fans.

Neat design and soothing autonomy

The MacBook Air 2020 retains the look of its predecessors and offers an exemplary finish with sober and refined aesthetics. Our aluminum chassis, as well as the backlit keyboard with Magic Keyboard – the butterfly keyboard – are more pleasant to use. Even though the 2022 model offers a 20% more compact design and sheds a few grams, the MacBook Air 2020 is also easy to carry with its 13-inch diagonal and 1.29 kilograms lighter weight. You can also count on the presence of Touch ID to unlock the device with one finger.

On the front is a 13-inch Retina True Tone display with a very wide color gamut (P3). Even if the most demanding still prefer to turn to the MacBook Pro, creators will especially appreciate this screen for video editing or photo processing. To ensure good productivity, MacBook Air M1 offers generous autonomy, which is 50% more than the previous generation. You could theoretically keep a day’s worth of work indoors. Notably, this MacBook Air has an advertised 256GB SSD that’s twice as fast as the previous generation, and 8GB of RAM to round out the package.
