There are some things you need to know if you are thinking of buying a MacBook Air 2020. First, it comes with 256GB of storage as standard. You can also upgrade to 2TB if desired. Although the 2020 SSD's read and write speeds are slower than those of the 2018 model SSDs, they still deliver respectable read and writing speeds.
MacBook Air's performance is sub-par
Although the 2020 MacBook Air i7 features a decent screen, audio, and a 3.5mm headset jack, it is not as performant. It also doesn't support P3 colour matching. For that price, competitors can offer more power and a much larger screen. The Core i5 base model, which costs $1,299, has improved cooling, a better screen, and more USB Type C ports. The base 13" MacBook Pro is slightly higher in price and features more ports and better screens.
2020 MacBook Air will also include support for P3 wide colors gamuts, though this will be less prominent. This is a great improvement for photo and video editors. The updated screen will be capable of displaying millions of extra colors, which is particularly significant if you have a workflow involving 10-bit video capture.
It's loud
If your Macbook Air 2020 i7 is experiencing problems, it's possible the fan may be to blame. This is a common problem with Apple computers. When the processor and other electronic parts are in use, heat can be generated. During high-speed tasks, fan speed will increase and the fan will produce more noise. You can reduce the temperature and open a window to prevent noise. A desk fan can be used to cool your Mac.
This problem is mostly caused by the fact, that the MacBook Air 2020's Fan runs at high speed, especially when the system has been under high load. This is especially apparent when using video editing or video conference applications. Max Tech uploaded this YouTube video to illustrate the problem. It occurs approximately at six minutes, thirty seconds. It happens when the laptop's cooling system cannot cope with the increased demands of the faster processor.
It gets warm
Apple's new MacBook Air has a problem: it gets warm. It is difficult to cool the internal components of the machine due to its thin design. Apple engineers worked to make the cooling system fit into the smallest possible space. The MacBook's thinness means that there isn't any visible ventilation. Therefore, cycling cool inside the MacBook can be difficult. As a result, the engineers used the hinge as a vent to dissipate some of the heat. If the internal temperature gets too high, the computer will shut down.
A common reason MacBooks overheat is when they are trying to do too many things at once. Open Activity Monitor and click the CPU tab. This will show all CPU usage in descending order.
It's not as powerful and versatile as the MacBook Pro.
Apple's MacBook line-up offers many options for anyone who wants to buy a premium Apple laptop. The MacBook Air is the smallest model, while the MacBook Pro is the largest and most powerful. The two models have the same CPU and GPU as well as ports, storage and FaceTime cameras. However, they have different features. The newest MacBook Pro models feature an updated design and mini-LED display backlighting. They offer more storage and RAM than the previous generation MacBook Pro models.
The MacBook Air comes with the same processor that the MacBook Air had, but the latest model has an additional graphics processing core. This increases the processor's power for visual intensive tasks. It also includes a fan to help the processor perform better during heavy tasks.
