In March 2020, Apple refreshed its MacBook Air lineup with a new Magic Keyboard with scissor switches, faster processors for better CPU and GPU performance, and more storage space, but with the same overall design it has used since 2018. An appropriately speced MacBook Air should last for quite a few years, and since you cannot upgrade the internal components of Apple's laptops at a later date, it's important to choose wisely. You can customize the internal specifications of either of these two MacBook Air base configurations at the time of purchase, so it's a good idea to consider what kind of machine you'll need ahead of time.
Our guide answers the question of how to decide which of these two configurations is best for you.
Apple offers two different 2020 MacBook Air base configurations one with a dual-core Intel Core i3 processor and one with a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor.
