A line of lightweight ultrabooks with a 13.3-inch Retina Display from Apple's acclaimed 2020 MacBook family. The models of the line are positioned as products of the upper price category, capable of providing an impressive level of peak performance and impressive battery life (up to 12 hours). Compared to previous models in 2019, these devices differ in increased computing performance (new CPUs), an improved low-profile Magic Keyboard with dirt / dust resistance and an improved thin-frame screen based on an IPS matrix with a resolution of 2560x1600.
In addition to excellent viewing angles for comfortable viewing and high maximum brightness, the displays of Apple MacBook Air 13 (2020) laptops support True Tone technology, which automatically changes the white balance depending on the ambient light. A decent level of performance is provided by 2- or 4-core 10th generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 processors (Ice Lake core, 10 nm) with an integrated Iris Plus Graphics G4 / G7 video core.
The amount of LPDDR4X RAM is 8 or 16 GB, and the storage subsystem can consist of one high-speed PCI-E SSD with a capacity of 256 to 2048 GB. When choosing a specific model, note that the memory and drive are soldered on the motherboard and cannot be replaced on their own. There is support for the Thunderbolt 3 interface (two connectors in USB-C 3.2 Gen2 format) and Power Delivery.
As part of the traditional spring event, which took place online in 2020, the Cupertino company Apple showed the world an updated version of the Apple MacBook Air 13 “air” ultrabook. Externally, the newly made laptop is almost indistinguishable from the previous generation, but serious “work on the bugs” was carried out in it.
Good old scissors
The main news for adherents of "apple" products is that the good old keyboard with a scissor mechanism was returned to the laptop(instead of the long-suffering "butterfly"). The stroke of its keys is 1 mm, and the “insides” of the keyboard are reliably protected from dust and crumbs. In the upper right corner of the keyboard block there is a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which guards the protection of personal data from unauthorized access.
Worthy update
Speaking of the drive where the information is stored. Henceforth, the laptop is equipped with a 256 GB SSD drive even in the basic configuration. The amount of memory can be increased up to 2 TB. "RAM" in the onboard equipment of the Apple MacBook Air 13 2020 can be from 8 to 16 GB. The "iron heart" of the laptop is the 10th generation Intel Core processors, both i3 along with i5, and more powerful i7. Thanks to a more powerful hardware “hardware”, the laptop was “brought up” with support for connecting external displays with a resolution of up to 6K (in particular, the top-end Apple Pro Display XDR monitor).
Retina display
The retina-screen of the device is stretched diagonally by 13.3" and shows a picture at a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. It uses technology to automatically adapt the colour temperature of the displayed content to ambient lighting conditions (True Tone). Another pleasant surprise is the price tag of less than $1000 at the start of sales (for the junior laptop configuration). Thus, the entrance ticket to the world of Apple laptops has become even more affordable.
