The MacBook Air A2179 is Apple's early-2020 13-inch laptop, the last Air with an Intel processor before the move to Apple silicon. It has a 13.3-inch Retina display, a Magic Keyboard with scissor switches, Touch ID, two Thunderbolt 3 ports and up to about 11 hours of battery life. It suits light work: browsing, documents, email, video and school. Against the M1 Air that replaced it, it runs hotter and slower and its battery drains faster, but it is quiet and familiar for anyone who needs an Intel Mac for older software or Windows through Boot Camp.

Owners like the 2020 Air for its keyboard, screen and quiet running, and most find it fine for everyday tasks. Reviewers say the Intel processor struggles with sustained heavy work and warms up, and that the M1 model beats it on speed and battery.
