Reviews for the Apple MacBook Air Late 2020 (M1, 8 Core GPU, 8 GB RAM)

91.1% Apple MacBook Air 2020 Review: Should you get the more powerful version of the M1 processor? | Notebookcheck
If you are looking for the new Apple MacBook Air, you can choose between integrated graphics with 7 and 8 cores. But how big is there performance difference in everyday situations and does the additional GPU core impact the surface temperatures?
90% MacBook Pro with M1 review

The MacBook Pro M1 is easily one of the best 13-inch laptops money can buy. You get blazing performance and epic battery life for your $1,299. And yet the speed gap between the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with M1 is not that great. There are some reasons to splurge for the MacBook Pro with M1, though. You get better sustained performance for larger tasks, because the MacBook Pro has a fan and the Air does not. And I do appreciate that the MacBook Pro has a brighter display and a better GPU for its opening price. If Apple threw in two more Thunderbolt ports I think the Pro would be an easier sell.

MacBook Air M1 Review: Six months later…I regret nothing
Source: KL Gadget Guy English EN→zh-CN
The MacBook Air isn’t cheap; that’s a known fact. However, it is the cheapest MacBook you can get and it offers powerful performance that surpasses many Intel-powered laptops. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth to switch from older MacBook Air models to this new M1-powered beast, my answer is go for it and don’t look back, because I didn’t and I’m loving it.

90% MacBook Air with M1 review: A computing revolution
Source: Tom's Guide English EN→zh-CN
This MacBook Air with M1 review has shown why its amazing endurance and shockingly good speed combine to take the MacBook Air to new heights. If only it packed a couple more ports and slimmed down its bezels, the new MacBook Air might be 5-star perfect. The Dell XPS 13 has much smaller bezels, but it trails behind the MacBook Air in performance and battery life. You could save $650 with a similarly configured $999 Asus ZenBook 13, and get a few ports too, but you'd be sacrificing performance and around an hour of endurance. For those who live and work in the Apple ecosystem, though, the new MacBook Air is the easiest buying decision you've had in ages.

大体上,这个屏幕尺寸常见于亚笔记本电脑,超极本和变形本中。对这三类产品来说这个尺寸都较大。亚笔记本中尺寸最大的机型是采用这个屏幕尺寸。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
