MacBook Air 2020

[Shutterfly]

Intel is still making 14nm chips for their latest 10th gen series. We need 7nm to bring temps down on these newer ultrathin machines, especially when a number of these are 4/6/8 cores these days...

I own a 16" Macbook Pro and it looks like the same thermal issues are happening on the 2020 MacBook Air.

So I guess the upcoming 13/14" will have the same issue.

When that day comes, it’s going to be Apple ARM chipset.

Intel doom day is near for ultra thin laptop.

If DHL Express, 3 days for me

Just had a chat with DHL Express - the parcel is still sitting inside a container in Chengdu after despatching from Apple's warehouse on 14 Apr. The parcel will be despatch to HK tonight 17 Apr for consolidation, before delivery to SG. Likely will be able to receive it only early next week. That will be way beyond the expected delivery date of 09 - 17 Apr.

Looks like they revert back to the old 2014/5 type scissors keyboard.
My current macbook 12"'s keyboard is the butterfly type.. Such a pain to use..

Any idea how the 14 days return works during C.B Period?

My mbp (2015) died and i looking to get a replacement. But not sure if i will like the MacBook Air.

Ordered the i5, 16gb, 512gb model. I just sold off my 2015, 15 mbp. I no longer do video work, only light photo editing and adobe indesign work. The 2015, 15 inch is the best laptop I’ve ever owned. It’s a workhorse and has never let me down. But everytime i’d walk by an Apple store, I’d try the 13 inch models and the size is really attractive. Was thinking of upgrading last year but the butterfly keyboards really made me consider. No matter how many times I try it, it felt in every way inferior to the older keyboards Apple used to make. I know this MacBook Air has some thermal issues, however with my workflow, I don’t think it will be that big of a deal. Once the laptop comes in, I’ll use it for a week or so. If it’s doesn’t run well, I’ll return it and wait for the 2020 13inch mbp.

do you mind explaining the return process?
same question as previous post how does the 14d return policy work during this period?

I think ill just contact apple support and see what they advise me from there. If too much of a hassle maybe I can just sell it off.

Just get it repaired by 3rd party repairman. $300 should be your base price.

Repair twice already lol. $500+ total

Repair already, one year later .. spoil

Getting my macbook air tomorrow. I really hope this new generation of apple macbooks are gonna be good. the butterfly generation was such a low point for the mac. Nothin from the 2016 - 2019 mbp line made me want to replace my 4 year old 2015 15inch macbook pro, with the exception of the 16inch mbp. Hopefully the thermal issues arent too bad.

So far i've been using my mac for the past 3 weeks.
I always have Whatsapp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Visual Code Studio running.

I have Safari with 3-5 tabs, chrome with 4- 12 tabs. with video streaming on one of the tab.

I also run Adobe Illustrator / Adobe Photoshop concurrently.

So far the heat doesnt feel like a problem to me, it runs really well and able to handle all the tasks i'm using. Only really throttles when i have Netflix on running video at 1080p. while all my background tasks are still running.

im using the i7 , 16gb, 512 ssd version.

If you aren't use it for photo editing would be fine because the display it wasn't 100 % sRGB.

i do very casual photo editing. and coming from my 2015, 15inch, I dont think that model had 100% srgb too, so it shouldnt be that big of a deal.

EDIT:
Both devices also feature True Tone display which adjusts the color temperature of your display to the environment you're in to give you a much better viewing experience. The MacBook Pro's display features P3 wide color gamut, versus the Air's sRGB so colors and contrast ratio is much better on the Pro.

Lifted from a review on Appleinsider. I think the 2016 models onwards got the P3 wide colour gamut screens. 2015 and below retinas used the regular sRGB screens. similar to the 2020 macbook air

Mine is on the same shipment as yours. And I managed to get my set yesterday, on the same day it arrives in SG.
