Review on 2020 Apple MacBook Air Laptop with M1 Chip: Retina Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Touch ID - Gold by Petar Dimitrov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

The new MacBooks on M1 processors are already serious working machines, with most tasks showing themselves at the level of top-end mobile processors from Intel / AMD (and sometimes even better), and there is practically no difference in performance between the Air and Pro versions (within the margin of error). This contrasts with previous generations of Air, which were equipped with weak filling and were intended for typing and web browsing. Another query that grabs people's attention, including mine. (Not to be confused with CPU cores, which are 8 in all variants.) There are 2 versions of Air with 7 GPU cores and 8 GPU cores. I therefore got to the conclusion that there is essentially no difference after reading multiple evaluations and tests, or rather, it may exist in the few graphics-demanding programs (games, video editing), but it is not visible in those either. In general, even if you intend to play outside, one core cannot create the weather. A bigger SSD is what it truly makes sense to spend more for. The laptop is quick and strong. I suggest.

Pros
  • Retina screen is the same as in the Pro edition and is compact, lightweight, and has a no-fan design, so it does not dust but also does not overheat.
Cons
  • High markup on accessories, inability to update, and infrequently occurring non-critical faults linked to the new CPU and operating system are all problems.Two USB ports in total, both Type-C. So, adapters are required.
