MacBook for most people in 2020. But performance and battery life could be better

A few years ago, it was easy to say to people that if they wanted a MacBook, they should probably just buy the cheapest MacBook Air. While that laptop was not necessarily cheap by everyone’s standards, it gave the core Mac experience at a price that didn’t require the kind of heavy investment needed for a MacBook Pro.

Unless you were video editing or working with a lot of professional apps, you really didn’t need a MacBook Pro. But that changed when Apple let the MacBook Air languish for over three years, lazily updating the internals now and then as the company pushed its new, thinner MacBook 12in. It’s very telling that the 12in MacBook is now discontinued.

The aged design, display and specs of that old Air meant we said people should go for the more expensive but underpowered 12in, or plump up the extra cash for a Pro they probably didn’t need to get a nicer screen and solid performance.

Thank goodness then that this 2020 MacBook Air finally means we can say this is the best MacBook for most people. Despite not having a redesign or upgrade to the Retina screen since 2018, the new Magic Keyboard on this latest model means the Air is the best it has been for years, despite its flaws.
