![]() ![]() Maybe someday we'll see a MacBook with a notched display and Face ID.Īs I tested the 13-inch MacBook Air, I found myself wishing Apple made it in a larger 15-inch design. ![]() The Air's display bezels look thin enough on the sides, but the top bezel (which is wide enough to allow for a web-cam) looks a little chunky. It's a matter of contrast, as the Gold keyboard deck and chassis just pair better with the black bezel and keyboard than the Silver and Space Gray. ![]() The Gold color version still looks fresh, even though Apple's only made minor tweaks to the design over the years. While Dell and HP are catching up to Apple on aesthetics, the MacBook Air 2020 is still a gorgeous laptop that stands out in a crowd. You can buy a Core i5/8GB/256GB Surface Pro 7 for $1,199, but then the $159 Type Cover brings that up to $1,358. The Dell XPS 13 (2020) starts at $1,249, with a Core i3-1005G1 chip, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with Signature Type Cover starts at $908, with the same Core i3-1005G1 CPU, but 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. I'd probably opt for a $1,499 model with an i5 CPU and the extra RAM. A $150 upgrade to a Core i7 CPU would bring the price to $1,549, while doubling the memory to 16GB costs $200. We tested a slightly upgraded model, with an 10th Gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of memory and 512GB of storage, which costs $1,299. Not only is that model cheaper than it was last year, but it's also got an SSD that's twice as large as the 128GB drive that Apple used to default to. The new MacBook Air fixes that, knocking down the intro level price to $999, for a configuration that includes an Intel 10th Gen Core i3 CPU, 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage. It came out in March 2020.įor a while, the MacBook Air started at $1,099, meaning that Apple didn't sell a sub-$1,000 laptop.
