The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The M1 chip is efficient and fast for typical work, but this model has 8GB of RAM, which is on the lower end for multitasking or running demanding software.
- Storage is tight at 128GB, so you'll need to manage files carefully or use cloud storage if you work with large files or keep a lot of apps installed.
- The screen is sharp and bright with good color accuracy, and the keyboard is reliable with a built-in fingerprint sensor for unlocking.
As of Aug 31, the Late 2020 Apple MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip is overpriced at $449 — versus a $381.64 typical price and a $331 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
