2020 Apple MacBook Air Laptop: Apple M1 Chip, 13” Retina Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, Backlit Keyboard, FaceTime HD Camera, Touch ID. Works with iPhone/iPad; Space Gray

I bought this 2020 MacBook Air (8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD storage) to replace a 2014 MacBook Air (4GB RAM, 256 GB SSD storage). I am undeniably a fan of Apple products in general, because they work with little fuss and are built to last (note that my old MacBook Air is more than 7 years old and still working perfectly). Although I've been underwhelmed by some Mac models in recent years, this one is stellar IMHO. Unless you have very heavy system requirements this machine would be an excellent choice. The M1 processor is very impressive, delivering outstanding performance and power/thermal efficiency simultaneously. Battery life is every bit as good as advertised; I can charge overnight and use it all day without plugging in. Connecting USB devices such as external drives will shorten battery life, but that's to be expected. I love the fanless design, which means the machine is absolutely silent at all times, while the thermal efficiency of the M1 chip allows it to remain amazingly cool. In use, this computer feels very fast, especially with apps optimized for Apple processors (as MacOS Big Sur is). Interestingly, Microsoft has been on board early with M1 optimization; the latest Office 365 version is smooth and fast on this machine. I also tried out MS Edge on my new laptop based on a recommendation from another user and have been so pleased with its speed and efficiency that it's my current default browser. The touch ID and Apple Pay capability is a welcome addition. The only cons I see are minor in my opinion. Because RAM is integrated into the M1 processor, post-purchase memory expansion is not possible; if you think you'll need 16 GB of memory that model can be had from the Apple Store. There has been criticism of the fact that this machine has only two ports, which is fair. For me that's not insurmountable; I simply use a USB-C hub to provide additional connectivity. I've read recently that some users have had certain hubs cause problems with their M1 Macs, which appears to be related to battery charging through these hubs. To be on the safe side I use a built-in port for charging and have had no issues. Reading through the relative handful of critical reviews, it looks to me like most (excluding actual defects, which happen with all products) are based on lack of understanding. For example, I saw a large number of reviews complaining that this machine "has NO USB PORTS!!!", which is patently false. In fact, its two ports are both USB, they just require a different connector. What these users are looking for is the old USB-A connectors, which this MacBook does not have; however, that's easily fixed by using a USB-A to USB-C converter cable, or with a USB-C hub. USB-A peripherals are gradually disappearing as well, in favor of the new connector. All things considered, I really love this machine. The $899 price (at the time I bought mine) was $100 less than I would have paid at the Apple Store, and I believe I can probably get $200 on eBay for my old MacBook Air (try that with a 7-year-old PC!) leaving me with a total outlay of $699. Considering that I'll almost certainly get 5 or more years use out of this model, I'm very happy with my purchase and would do it again.

I recently migrated to Apple after many years using a wide variety of PCs running Windows or Linux. I decided to make that move after Apple's introduction of the M1 processor, which has been proven to be an excellent hardware platform. Now. of course, the M2 has been released, but, depending on your needs, the 2020 Macbook Air with the M1 will save you some money while still delivering outstanding performance and some of the most attractively and perfectly manufactured hardware. You can search the Internet for professional reviews of the Macbook Air, but I feel confident you'll find plenty to verify what I'm saying. The Retina display is beautiful. The sound system is superior to any other laptop I have owned or used. The battery holds up all day under typical use, and I can verify that the battery holds its charge well for at least a week while the notebook is powered off. The Apple OS (Monterey) is smooth and fast, and I was able to learn my way around in it quickly. When you need help, a Google search will yield tons of tips quickly, or you can avail yourself of Apple support. I will say that the Air is a little short on USB ports, lacks a built-in card slot, and, of course, is not equipped with a touchscreen. However, I have run a USB hub from one of the two Thunderbolt ports, and there seems to be enough power to support my flash drives and card readers...even a portable DVD-burner. As far as a touchscreen goes, I have that on a Dell laptop I run Linux on, but I never use it...guess I'm a mouse or touchpad guy. The aluminum housing is beautifully machined and finished, the keyboard has a very nice touch, the battery seems to charge quickly, and the Air is light at under 3 lbs. One last thing! I have been a heavy user of both Google and Microsoft services, and I have found that Apple provides ample support for integrating those services into the Mac environment. I run Google's Backup and Sync and Microsoft's OneDrive with no problems. My AVG subscription allows me to use my antivirus software on both Mac OS and Windows machines. I have no regrets for this purchase. Actually, the Air was my 3rd M1 Mac. I also have an iMac and a Mac Mini. They all work together very well!

The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with the M1 chip is just fantastic. It's super powerful thanks to the M1 chip, handling everything with ease. The battery life is incredible – lasts all day and then some! The Retina display is beautiful and sharp. Plus, it's so easy to use and works perfectly with my iPhone and iPad. Great performance, great battery, great screen, great value. Simple as that. Highly recommend!

Atende bem as expectativas. Design leve e prático. Processador rápido e desempenha todas as funções esperadas.

Só consigo mencionar prós sobre o micro, excessão é a primeira semana para acostumar com o teclado e as funcionalidades de um viciado em windows, depois disso, só alegria (nem posso chamar de excessão). Pense num micro inteligente: liga muito rápido, possui funcionalidades inteligentes (desliga automático e preserva a bateria, não necessita pagar pelo software, não precisa pagar anti-vírus, conecta facilmente com rede wi-fi e a recepção de sinal se mantém estável mesmo longe do roteador, conecta e imprime muito rápido). Bateria dura em média 10 horas, utilizo para estudo e praticamente recarrego dia sim e dia não, a recarga se dá em média por duas horas (carregador incluso só que no modelo americano, requer um adaptador para conectar na tomada brasileira). Não possui a bendita ventuinha! Aleluia! Muito leve e a praticidade de regular a iluminação de tela e teclado são excelentes (também regula automático se desejar). Único detalhe que menciono, o vendedor o enviou sem nota fiscal, somente a emitiu após cobrá-lo. É importante que a possuam, pois é o respaldo que o micro não é roubado e tal, também para garantia legal do produto. Tive muito receio de mudar para um Mac depois de anos utilizando apenas windows em mais de um micro, de fato é um desafio (apps diferentes, usb diferente, atalhos e comandos diferentes - nada que o google não te salve), mas valeu muito a troca. Zero arrependimentos e apenas recomendações, aliás, o outro micro que estava "sondando" era do mesmo patamar de preço e capacidade de processamento. Ainda bem que optei por este.

لا أنصح بشراءه من أمازون، خدمة التوصيل سيئة، والفاتورة ليس بها الرقم التسلسلي للجهاز مما يعني ليس له ضمان، وخدمة العملاء سيئة للغاية، اشتر الجهاز من مكان آخر

Perfeito como era de se esperar, com entrega a jato! Estava previsto pra chegar entre 27 e 30 de abril. Comprei dia 13 e chegou dia 15! Quanto ao computador não tenho nem o que dizer, já é meu terceiro MacBook Air, desde 2011 e ainda tenho os outros dois sendo usados pelos meus filhos, quase sem nenhum problema, que mesmo quando aparecem são coisas pequenas e plenamente resolvidos pelas assistência técnica on-line, que tem os melhores atendentes que já vi na vida. O preço continua sendo alto demais para o Brasil, mas frente aos outros no mercado, vale cada centavo suado gasto. Esse modelo é ágil, tem como novidade touch para senhas e o teclado é maravilhoso. Super rápido o processador e a memória de 8Gb era o que faltava pra mim, pois dando aulas on-line uso muitos programas conectados ao mesmo tempo e meu MacBook antigo com 4Gb não estava conseguindo dar conta. Mas será perfeito pra minha filha que não usará poucos programas. Já era e continuo sendo fã total, melhores compras sempre são dos produtos Apple. Só queria ganhar melhor pra poder investir mais.

I have been a windows user forever. I used to HATE on mac, and really apple in general. Owned android phones up until 2019 when I had spent some time using a friends iphone I started to fall in love with apple products. I got my first iphone (iphone xr) and I was hooked. I never thought I would own a macbook, I always used windows laptops/computers until this year. I had bought a few different windows laptops as I was returning to school to finally pursue a degree, and I ran into some issues. The first laptops wifi chip quit within the first couple of weeks and I tried everything to fix it, found out chips were commonly faulty on that unit so returned it. The second one was better, it had a good battery life, was small, but it got really hot. The last one was a gaming laptop because I thought maybe I would game on the go more (I ended up not) and it turned out to be way to bulky and heavy to conveniently carry around. That's when macbooks started to look real nice. Lightweight, battery lasted a while, small, and fanless (which is a game changer if you wanna actually use it on your lap). When the M1 went on sale, I knew it was time. I do not regret it. Getting used to mac os has had its moments, but the actual macbook is insane! It does everything I need and want it to do, and it doesn't feel like a hassle. It's also nice cause I can transfer anything and everything from my phone to the macbook with minimal effort. I have to admit, apple has done it well this time around, even though the m1 is a few years old now, its still an impressive machine and built so well (best speakers on a laptop I have ever experienced). It definitely beats out most windows laptops on build quality too. No gaming, I have not tried, and I don't intend to. I have a computer, its great, and I don't really have time to "game on the go" so I have no need for mobile gaming. Anyways, I highly recommend the macbook air, anywhere up from the m1 simply because they work well, and have high build quality.
