Our take on the MacBook Air (2020) 13-inch

The 2020 MacBook Air is Apple's first fanless laptop on the M1 chip, a 13.3-inch machine with 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. It runs cool and silent for everyday work, wakes instantly, and gets very long battery life. Reviewers call it the best value in Apple's laptop line for students and office workers. Its limits show under sustained load, where the fanless design throttles, and the 8GB of memory is not upgradeable after purchase.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the M1 Air highly for speed, silence and battery life in everyday use. Most criticism centers on the 8GB memory ceiling, the limited ports and the weak webcam.

What people mention
  • PerformancePraisedOwners say everyday apps open instantly and the M1 handles dozens of browser tabs without stutter.
  • Fanless designPraisedReviewers note it stays silent because it has no fan, though that also means it throttles in long heavy tasks.
  • BatteryPraisedOwners report a full day of mixed work on one charge.
  • MemoryCriticisedReviewers warn that 8GB is soldered and can become a bottleneck with many apps open.
  • PortsCriticisedOwners complain about only two USB-C ports and needing a dongle for HDMI or SD cards.
  • WebcamCriticisedReviewers call the 720p camera soft and noisy in low light on video calls.

Questions and answers

Is the M1 MacBook Air still worth buying?
For writing, browsing, schoolwork and video calls, yes. It is fast and silent and its battery lasts a full day. Buy newer models only if you edit video or need more memory.
How does it compare with the Intel MacBook Air it replaced?
The M1 is much faster, runs cooler and lasts far longer on battery. The Intel version had a fan that ran often and heated up under load.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No. The memory and SSD are soldered to the logic board, so choose 16GB or a larger SSD at purchase if you expect heavy use.
How many ports does it have?
Two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and a headphone jack. You need a hub or dock for HDMI, SD cards or extra USB-A devices.
Does it run Windows?
Not natively. You can run Windows 11 on Arm through Parallels Desktop, but Intel-only Windows apps may not work.
What comes in the box?
The laptop and a 30W USB-C power adapter with a USB-C charging cable. No hub or external display cable is included.
Where is the MacBook Air (2020) 13-inch cheapest?
At Back Market Pro - US (Prod), for $635.00, as of our latest check.
