Appel's 2020 MacBook Air is still one of the best laptops around. The laptop in this deal packs a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600) Retina display, a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600) Retina display, a backlit Magic Keyboard, Touch ID, a 10th Gen Intel Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM, Intel Iris Plus graphics and a 256GB SSD.

In our MacBook Air 2020 review, we were impressed by its sleek design, great battery life, and powerful top-firing speakers. We also thoroughly enjoyed clickety-clacking on its comfortable Magic Keyboard. In one test, The CPU held its own against 30 open Google Chrome tabs. We experienced no lag, even when we began resizing a few photos in Adobe Photoshop.

Battery-wise, the MacBook Air lasted 9 hours and 31 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery test (continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits). That's longer than the 8:42 category average.

Weighing in at 2.8 pounds and 11.9 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, the 2020 MacBook Air is as portable as its competitors. It's on par with the latest MacBook Air M1 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches), Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches) and 2.8-pound, 12.1 x 8.3 x 0.6-inch HP Envy 13

If battery life, a comfy keyboard, and fast SSD are important to you, the MacBook Air is a solid option. 

Black Friday 2021 falls on November 26 and we expect to see tons of excellent deals on today’s most coveted tech. Be sure to bookmark our Black Friday 2021 deals hub for the best holiday discounts.
