MacBook Air 2020 : Specifications and Features
The new MacBook Air 2020 comes with a 1.1 GHz dual-core
10th-gen Intel Core i3 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz), 8 GB (3733MHz) of
LPDDR4X RAM, Intel Iris Plus graphics and 256 GB of SSD storage. So that's
actually double the storage on the base model compared to what we had on the
previous generation at a lower price point. And you can get lots of different
configurations, of course. You can get either an i5 or even up to a Quad-Core
i7 processor, up to 16 gigabytes of RAM, and up to two terabytes of storage. Of
course, those are going to be higher prices.
We have got a Touch ID
button here on the top right-hand side of the keyboard. Works really well.
Works with Apple Pay, as well. For the speakers, we do have stereo speakers
along here. They do have 25% more volume and two times more bass compared to
the previous generation. Of course, they're not on the same level as the
MacBook Pro, which in my opinion has the best speakers, but these are pretty
good.
What's not pretty good in our opinion is that we've still got the 720p FaceTime
HD camera. I've been doing lots more conference calls recently, especially
considering the situation, and that's just something that I wish Apple would
upgrade. Well, it's still 720p. I'm sure it's going to be okay for most people.
And for the battery we do have a 49.9-watt power battery which should get you
through most usage. Of course, that's going to vary depending on what you're
doing. If you're doing some general web browsing and Word documents, it's going
to last you longer. If you're doing image editing, video editing, then it's
going to shoot through it much, much faster. And it's something that I'm going
to have to spend some more time with.

MacBook Air 2020 : Performance
Talking about the performance, that is going to mean that
you've got up to two times faster performance with the CPU and up to 80% faster
graphics. So that's definitely quite impressive. And we think what's most
impressive for us is that the MacBook Air now also supports the Apple Pro HDR
display. So that's like a 6k display that you're going to be able to plug in to
your MacBook Air.
MacBook Air 2020 : Price
The all new MacBook Air 2020 is available in three variants which are going to launch in India. So the price for -
Intel Core i3 processor variant - Rs. 92,990
Intel Core i5 processor variant - Rs. 1,19,900
Intel Core i9 processor variant - Rs. 1,99,900*
*It may or may not launch in India.

Verdict
If you need MacBook Air for daily usage, emails, browsing, travel, movie consumption, or any other light work then we will recommend you to buy the Intel I3 processor variant which is more than sufficient. But if you require the Macbook Air for heavy usage like programming, Run Android studio and all, we will recommend you to buy the i5 processor variant but it will become a pretty expensive. Both the variants are good and Competent but in order to get good performance after considering hheavy task like programming, then you should consider the i5 processor variant and let me tell you that the performance you are getting in i5 variant is just the double of i3 variant.
One more thing to say that don't buy the last year's model in any cost, even if it is available in heavy discount. There is a lot of improvement in this year's model and we are happy with that. The new MacBook Air 2020 has a better keyboard, processor, graphics, RAM and fast SSD, So go with the new version and that all about our recommendation on the Macbook Air 2020.
