Apple MacBook Air 13 in-depth review

For years on, the MacBook Air was left behind - looking dated, having inferior TN panels, and featuring significantly less capable hardware. However, after Apple has solved the first two aspects of the MacBook Air in 2019, things took an immediate turnaround, when they introduced the M1 chip.Its low-voltage ARM nature enabled Apple to completely remove the fan from the chassis, thus resulting in a completely silent laptop, that happens to be extremely capable.So, for the lowly $999, you can get a fast laptop that will breeze past your daily work, and can actually be used for productivity.

To be honest, what we found inside was surprising - take a look.Check out all Apple MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020) prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.[...]
