So is the new MacBook Air really the best MacBook for most users right now, or should you just get a Pro model for this kind of money?

This model is equipped with the aforementioned Core i5 CPU with four cores, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD storage. We review the quad-core i5 SKU for 1499 Euros ($1299 US) we purchased in Apple's online store (no press sample). Otherwise, not much has changed, so we also recommend our comprehensive reviews of the previous MacBook Air models for more information. Apple also improved the speakers on the new model, doubled the storage capacity and slightly reduced the price.

You also get custom processors from Intel, which are still based on the low-power Y-series, but they are now based on the newer Ice Lake architecture and it is the first time you can get a MacBook Air with a quad-core CPU.

It requires more space though, so the case of the 2020 MacBook Air is actually a bit thicker than before. After the new MacBook Pro 16 was equipped with a conventional keyboard design, Apple now also replaces the problematic Butterfly keyboard on the compact MacBook Air.
