1 review of this exact model. Quotes are short, word for word, and each links to the article it came from. Every one was checked against that article on . MacIQ gives no score and no stars, and averages nothing.

Only 1 review could be used for this Mac, so this page is not offered to search engines. Nothing is added to make up the number.

What reviewers raise

A count of the reviews we quote on this page that have a quote on each topic, from the findings shown below. A review may say more on a topic than we quote, so it counts what is quoted here, not everything each review covers, and it says how often a topic is quoted, not what was said about it. Battery, performance and heat are counted over the 1 review of this exact model.

Where reviewers and Apple differ

No reviewer’s own figure on this page can be set beside an Apple claim for the same kind of test, so nothing is compared here.

The reviews

Newest first, in the order of the date each article prints (which may be an update date, not a first-publication date). Each quote links to its article; the date is the one the article prints, labelled as the article labels it. “Published” and “Updated” appear only where the article prints that word beside the date; “Dated” means the article prints that date with no label, so the date itself does not say whether it is the first publication or an update. A later update that an article mentions only in an editor’s note is not used as its date.

Trusted Reviews

Tested: 13-inch MacBook Air (2020), base model: 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i3 (10th Gen Intel Core i3), 8GB RAM

Keyboard and trackpad

The Magic Keyboard has roughly 1mm travel so you can actually feel those keys depress and it offers a really satisfying typing experience.

Speakers

The speakers are powerful and sound really good and I rarely found the laptop got hot when I was using it.

Ports

There are just three ports here, with two of them being Thunderbolt 3 in the form of USB-C and the other being for your 3.5mm headphones.
