About This Mac

The Intel MacBook Air released in early 2020 replaced the butterfly keyboard with the scissor-switch Magic Keyboard. It also introduced tenth-generation Intel processors, including the Air’s first quad-core options, and doubled the starting storage to 256GB compared with the 2019 Retina MacBook Air. Those changes made the update useful for typing, multitasking and keeping more files locally. The slim Retina design and two Thunderbolt ports stayed familiar, though this remained a lightweight Intel laptop rather than a machine intended for prolonged demanding workloads.
