The late 2020 model of the MacBook Air has received positive reviews, with much of the praise going to the capabilities of the M1 chip.
In his review for Engadget, Devindra Hardawar gave the MacBook Air a score of 94/100, praising the performance as 'shockingly responsive' and highlighting the lack of fan noise and 'excellent' keyboard and trackpad as among some of the pros. Other than that, he only lightly touched on the laptop's design and feel, citing the fact that it hadn't really changed much since the early 2020 MacBook Air. He did, however, praise the case as feeling 'sturdy as ever'.[1]
Writing for Wired, Julian Chokkattu bemoaned the fact that the Air only came with 2 USB-C ports, but praised the keyboard and battery life. He also lauded the fanless design, saying it was something he found himself 'appreciating over and over again'.[2]
