macbook air 2020

Hey I'm in the market for a new macbook. I currently use a 2012 macbook pro (the thicc one with i5, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd) and it still works fine but it's starting to feel dated and has crazy thermal problems (fans go crazy and keyboard heats up a lot). I'm torn between the 2020 Macbook Air with...

Hi there This is my first post here, if it’s in the wrong section please let me know where best to post this. Basically, I’m on the look out for a new Mac and have been toying with the idea of a MacBook Air with i5 processor and 16 gigs of ram, or the i7 with 8 gigs. Fan noise and overheating...

I just bought a new MBA (i5/16GB/256). I ran some tests in Logic and Cinebench to compare it with my old Air, and thought some here might be interested in what I found. With the talk of throttling, and cooling limitations I wanted to see how it compares to the old Airs. If this new Air isn't...

Hi there! I currently own a 2020 macbook air (i5,16gb). For the most part the laptop does everything that I need it to do fine. There are some hiccups, sometimes stuttering performance and really high temperatures (I am from Singapore which has constant 30 degree weather), if that matters for...

I’ve seen the user review thread for the new macbook air, but most seem to have either the i5 or i7. Anyone who is actually using (or has used) the base model, I would appreciate your honest review! *EDIT* My i3 will be arriving soon. Once I do get it, I'll probably add to this post with my...

I've heard of "staingate" and screens getting scratched/dented from keyboards. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm getting a 2020 macbook air - do you think I will have the aforementioned problems?

Hi, I’m wanting to buy the 2020 macbook air, as pretty much everything about it suits my needs/wants perfectly... However, I’ve been seeing a lot of negative reports regarding the fan/throttling issues (some saying it idles at 100 celsius??) For context, I’m a college student who will be...

Hello, I'm starting out in the web developer world, mainly focused on backend things, I'm currently finishing my studies (They will be over in a couple of months probably). So, my main doubt here is if my macbook would be able to handle the tasks I would do daily as a web developer, I would be...
