苹果MacBook Air 2020笔记本电脑评测：你能买到的最好的MacBook？并非如此

Name: Apple MacBook Air 2020 i5
Brand: Apple

错失良机——可能是故意的？

新款2020 MacBook Air得益于改进的键盘以及更强大的CPU，因此性能更好。许多评论甚至说这是您现在可以买到的最好的MacBook。但是，如果您仔细考虑一下，您仍然会发现性能和散热解决方案存在很大的问题。苹果肯定在这里错失了良机。

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
30.44 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17.9 ms rise
30.44 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 81 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
38.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 19.6 ms rise
38.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 19 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 55 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

117000 Hz

≤ 75 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 117000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 75 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 117000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8743 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Verdict – Performance is still the Achilles heel of the MacBook Air

In review: Apple MacBook Air 2020 Core i5

您目前可以读到很多评测，说新款MacBook Air是您现在可以买到的最好的MacBook。经过全面审查，我们无法确认这些陈述。是的，现在的键盘更好，性能也更高，但是Apple仍然（不必要地）限制了冷却系统的性能。小型机身风扇效率不高，因为它无法防止性能下降。在要求更高的工作负载下，它的声音也很大。

实际上，对于苹果公司来说，采用速度较慢的处理器并与MacBook Pro 13保持一定距离很有意义。这通常不是一件坏事，因为性能足以满足基本任务而无需执行多任务处理。但是，我们希望看到一个完全被动冷却的设备。完全静音的设备将使接受较低的性能变得容易得多。也许苹果公司希望通过自己的ARM处理器（传闻已久）将这一步改进保留给下一代。

价格太高了：新款MacBook Air的处理器在万元左右的机器中没有竞争力，并且散热系统在负载下过于嘈杂。如果您仍然需要新的MacBook Air，我们建议您等待特别优惠。

问题在于价格高昂，因为您可以以同样的价格获得功能更强大的笔记本电脑，包括苹果自己的MacBook Pro13。但是Windows竞品，例如新的Dell XPS 13 9300或Acer Swift 3提供更高性能的数据，甚至提供更多功能，例如Wi-Fi 6。

如果您可以忍受MacBook Air的性能并且只需要基本的功能，但又需要出色的机身，优秀的显示屏和较长的续航时间，那么您可以考虑新款MacBook Air。

新款2020 MacBook Air肯定也有很多令人喜欢的地方，仅产品名称便会吸引许多客户。目前，对于基本设备，显示器和机箱来说，性能已经完全足够了，键盘终于得到了改进，可靠性问题已成为过去。如果必须是新的MacBook Air，我们建议您等待特殊优惠或折扣，苹果后期肯定会提供。
