It's available in the same three colours that it has been recently: gold, space grey and silver. There are almost no joins, and it's totally sturdy. It has the tough aluminium build and impeccable fit and finish we expect from Apple's laptops. It has the iconic tapered design that makes it lower volume than the MacBook Pro, even though they're about the same depth at the thickest point. (Image credit: Future) Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) review: Design & buildĪpple hasn't changed the design of the MacBook Air externally at all for this new version. We've been doing some more intensive stuff with our review model (which has 8GB) and it's kept up with us well enough.īut again it isn't upgradeable in the future, so if there's any chance you might want to push your Air further in the future, it may be a wise bit of future-proofing. 8GB is fine for casual use – you won't notice any issues. You can actually go all the way up to 2TB of storage by paying more, too. The problem is that you can't expand it at any time in the future, so if you can afford the more expensive version with more storage, we think it's a wise investment – when it comes to power, this could last you years, so you don't want to find that you might get into a hobby later where the lack of storage is an issue.
If most of your laptop use is web browsing, creating documents, watching videos and looking at your photos, this will be fine. However, that's probably enough for casual users. You again get 8GB of RAM here, though either model can be upgraded to 16GB of RAM for a (larger than is really reasonable) fee.Ģ56GB isn't a huge amount – it's actually 251GB after formatting, and then over 30GB is taken up the operating system and included apps, so you get more like 220GB to play with. There's a higher-tier model, which costs £1,249/$1,249/AU$1,949, and the main difference is that this version comes with 512GB of storage instead of 256GB, though also get an eight-core GPU.
