Apple only announced the refreshed MacBook Air last month, and you can already get it on sale. Granted, it&aposs only a modest $50 discount on the base Core i3 model, but this is still a good opportunity to snag the 2020 MacBook Air while it&aposs new and at a slightly better price than it usually costs.
Buy Apple MacBook Air at B&H – $949
You can get Apple&aposs entry-level MacBook for $50 off at B&H and Amazon. With the $50 discount, the Core i3 model is currently $949. The one thing to note is only the space gray model is on sale at the moment. Besides a 10th-generation Intel Core i3 processor clocked at 1.1GHz, it features 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. More importantly, it includes Apple&aposs new Magic Keyboard, which uses a more reliable scissor-switch design than the butterfly mechanism that made the company&aposs previous-generation keyboard so prone to failure.
Engadget&aposs Dana Wollman gave the 2020 MacBook Air a score of 87, calling it a return to form. As you might imagine, the Magic Keyboard was the 2020 model&aposs most noticeable and appreciated improvement. That said, a lower starting price and double the base storage were also factors that helped make it easier to recommend the new model.
However, for all its improvements, the 2020 Air isn&apost perfect. Battery life could be better, and it could definitely use more ports, particularly some of the USB Type-A variety. Still, for all its faults, the 2020 MacBook Air is the best Apple computer for most people.
