Our take on the MacBook Air 13" (2019)

The 2019 MacBook Air is Apple's entry laptop from that year: a 13.3-inch Retina display with True Tone, Touch ID, a dual-core 8th-generation Intel Core i5, Intel UHD Graphics 617 and a solid-state drive in a 1.25 kg aluminum body. It has two Thunderbolt 3 ports, stereo speakers and Apple's butterfly keyboard, the design that drew the most complaints of any MacBook keyboard. It handles browsing, email, documents and streaming well, but the dual-core chip and 8GB of memory slow under many browser tabs, photo editing or video work. Compared with the M1 MacBook Air that replaced it, it runs hotter, has shorter real-world battery life and gets no further macOS feature updates beyond the last Intel-supported release, so it makes sense mainly as a low-cost way into macOS for light tasks.

Owners of the 2019 Air praise the screen, weight and Touch ID, and call it fine for everyday tasks. The recurring complaints are the butterfly keyboard, heat and fan noise under load, and the modest performance of the dual-core chip.

What people mention

  • PerformanceCriticisedThe dual-core i5 and 8GB of memory slow down with many browser tabs or photo editing.
  • Heat and fanCriticisedThe fan spins up and the chassis warms under sustained load.
  • DisplayPraisedThe Retina panel with True Tone is sharp and easy on the eyes.
  • PortabilityPraisedThe thin, light aluminum body is easy to carry all day.
  • BatteryMixedLight use gets through a workday, but heavy use drains it faster than Apple's estimate.

Questions and answers

Is the 2019 MacBook Air still worth buying?
For browsing, email, documents and streaming, yes, if the price is low and you accept an older Intel chip. For anything heavier or for long-term macOS updates, an Apple silicon MacBook Air is the better buy.
How does it compare with the M1 MacBook Air?
The M1 Air is faster, runs cooler, lasts longer on battery and still receives new macOS versions. The 2019 model wins only on cost.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage?
No. Memory and storage are soldered to the logic board, so buy the configuration you need from the start.
What ports does it have?
Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. You need a hub or adapter for USB-A, HDMI or SD cards.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it up to 10 hours. Owners typically see less with brightness up and many apps open, and an older battery holds less charge.
Does it have Touch ID?
Yes. The power button doubles as a Touch ID sensor for login, Apple Pay and unlocking secure notes.
