    Comprehensive Review of MacBook Air 2020 - From a Programming & Windows Perspective

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    📷Product Review

    My Computer:

    I got the i5 model with 16 GBs of Ram and the 256GB SSD ($1179 w/student discount). Throughout this review I will compare with a dell xps 13 9370 that has an 8th gen i7, 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD that originally was $1750, but I got for a little cheaper than this Air.

    My Background:

    I am coming from the perspective of a CS / Programming / Data Engineering Student. I'm in my final year of my Bachelor's with 3 programming internships under my belt and will be working full-time as a data engineer post graduation. This purchase was my first ever MacBook. I have been using windows laptops or desktops for about the 15 years of my life, and I wanted the Air simply because of Mac OS - for the ease of programming and connectivity with my iPhone and apple watch. Quick note on storage and iCloud, it costs $1 a month for 50GB and $3 for 200GB of storage which means after 5 years you'd pay $60 and $180 respectively for that extra flexible storage - iPhone, MacBook, iPad - so think carefully before actually upgrading the ssd size which is a $200 upgrade for 256GBs more. I currently also have a 2015 Asus gaming laptop as well as the dell xps 13 I mentioned above (planning on selling the xps if everything goes fine with the air). I wanted the Air so I could have a nice programming and every day laptop for the next 4-6 years (I know I won't last longer because I love my new technology).

    MacOS:

    My first impressions with Mac OS is that it is simply cleaner and easier to use. I still have the Office Suite on here for school work, but it's so nice also having messages and a native Unix based machine. I also found myself using the Dock (bottom bar) much more in Mac OS than I do on Windows. Everything is just so intuitive and easy to use. Yes, I have spent much of my life near computers, but I've never used Mac OS, yet I already feel like I can use this laptop close to its full potential. Everything also just seems so well optimized by Apple. In the past, I kind of hated on MacBooks because I thought they were overpriced for what you got, and I did not want a Butterfly keyboard. But with this new Air, they finally expanded the storage and made it a quad core. Also, this Air gives the option to have 16GB of Ram while still costing less than a high end windows equivalent. I also really like using TouchID to open the laptop and to login to websites as its very fast and secure. However, Windows face recognition is still better for opening the laptop up in my opinion.

    Touchpad & Keyboard:

    I never thought I would operate a laptop over an extended period of time without a mouse, but dang is the airs touchpad nice to use. The xps touchpad is also good, but its too small and honestly, I've never been able to feel super productive on it without a mouse. The clicking is way harder to control and the scrolling and gestures aren't even in the same league as the Air's. The gaming laptop's touchpad on the other hand…. it's like trying to flirt with woman, frustrating and it gets me nowhere. I spent my first day with the laptop learning all the Mac OS shortcuts and gestures as well as installing loads of apps. I'll get to the performance later. The new Magic Keyboard is also an absolute delight to type on. I've briefly had a windows surface laptop 2 which I thought was the best laptop keyboard I had ever used. When I switched to the dell xps, I found a new favorite. Now with the switch to the air, I think I have found the best laptop keyboard ever. It has great tactile feedback and the keys being the same size as allowed me to make less errors in my typing. I've ranged 100-105 WPM on the Air with my speed on the xps being around 95-100. A downside to the keyboard is no delete button, or rather the delete button just acts like a backspace button. Yes, I know you can hold function key and then delete to make it act like a windows delete button, but I'd much rather just have a key dedicated for this. Another downside is when plugging in my external corsair keyboard, I can't copy paste as there is no command key and ctrl+c doesn't work - update I now know I can remap the keys and use the windows key like a command key so this issue is solved! Also, I don't know if I am unaware of something, but the deleting speed does not increase the longer I hold the key down, it stays at the same speed. Let me know if I'm missing a setting or something here. Update - Just need to adjust the key repeat and delay until repeat under the keyboard settings.

    Performance - Real world programming:

    I won't bore you with geekbench or cinebench scores, you can look those up online. I want to tell you what I've experienced with my core i5, 16GB Ram unit. On the first day, I downloaded Pycharm, Intellij, atom, sublime, Microsoft Suite, Spotify, Oracle VirtualBox, some datasets (weather and stocks datasets mainly), Cloudera VM, RStudio, python and its modules, java and extensions, Slack, League of Legends, and of course Zoom. This will give you an idea of the workload I currently have and what I wanted to test the system with. I know a lot of people say laptops takes time to index and the performance may be a bit worse on the first couple of days so keep that in mind, but so far the fans have been nothing compared to my gaming laptop and in general they were on less and quieter than my xps 13 under the same workloads. Keep in mind my xps 13 is a higher wattage 8th gen i7 cpu. When downloading apps the laptop was around 80-90 degrees.

    I wanted to test a lot in a VM as I felt it is resource intensive and would give me a good idea of what the Air could do.

    When spinning up the Cloudera VM, you need 8GB of RAM (it says 4GB minimum but my friend has struggled mightily to get it working with only 4) and it recommends 2 cores rather than 1, but 1 is possible. If you plan on running VMs or emulators, you really need 16GM of RAM and the quad core IMO. You also need some graphics capabilities which I'm glad this computer has upgraded. The computer does heat up to around 80-90 degrees when booting up the VM, but the fans are relatively low (2700-5000 rpm) and most of the time I can't even hear them. The performance in the VM is snappy, and I was very pleased. After leaving the VM up for a while working on other tasks, the temperatures went down to 70-80 degrees and the fan was running either at minimum or off. I wrote some of this review in pages while doing work in the VM, had slack, RStudio, Spotify, Safari open and was working in them along with texting my friends. When I was running more complex operations in the VM, the temperatures did again reach 90 degrees with the fan turning up to around 4-5000 rpms and the temperatures would hover around 90. Once the operation was over, it would go back to around 70-80 degrees. The xps was around 65 degrees when loading up and 50-65 degrees when in the VM. The xps feels a tad bit slower in the VM, but both devices perform while the air was just a bit snappier. If you're curious what I was working on in the vm, it was mainly a Hadoop project creating a data pipeline involving getting data from AWS, loading data into impala tables, querying data as well as making different views and tables.

    I recently did a Big Data Project for a class in a NoSQL database called ScyllaDB (similar to Cassandra but with better performance). I wanted to use the datasets and codebase to get a simple test of how the air could work with data analytics and engineering. The datasets I used were only in the 10s of GB so it wasn't a large scale big data project, but it is still a significant amount of data to be cleansed and analyzed. The heaviest computing tasks take place in the cleansing script, so I tested the scripts and timed them on my Air vs. my xps. When running individually, the python cleansing script took 1 minute to cleanse a large subset of a weather dataset. It took 1min 15 seconds to run two of the large subsets concurrently. The CPU temps reached up to 95 while running the script and quickly returned to 50 degrees or the idle temp within 1-2 minutes of the running. When I ran the same scripts again on my xps on the same datasets, it took 2mins to run the script alone, and 2mins 20 seconds to run two concurrently, and the CPU temps hovered around 45-50. I had activity/task manager open during these tests, and I noticed that on MacOS seemed to have a more room leftover in memory when running these tasks. I actually had a couple more processes running on the MacBook and the total Memory usage only reached 11 GB, whereas on Windows it reached 15.2GB, yet the MacBook still outperformed the xps to my surprise. A bigger difference came in the CPU usage which was 25-35% on the xps but said 99% on Mac's Activity Monitor. MacOS seems to be set up to get higher utilization out of the CPUs. Based on benchmarks alone the xps should have won this battle given it was a higher wattage i7 CPU. I was pleasantly surprised with this outcome, but again the MacBook did heat up considerably more than the xps.

    I will continue to test the performance when I get new development projects. So far I have only done some work in Pycharm, IntelliJ, Rstudio, and the terminal / python scripts. I TA for classes that have smaller labs and projects in python and java, so I have been debugging and running code in Pycharm and IntelliJ. The cpu does heat up to around 90 degrees when compiling and running even smaller projects in IntelliJ. It quickly cools after compiling and running down to 75-80 degrees. When I've run some simply scripts in RStudio for one of my classes, it didn't get over 80 degrees and was most of the time quite cool. The time to compile and run the code is comparable to my xps and honestly, I haven't noticed a difference. I will continue to run more code and see if the air continues to perform without annoying fan noise. I hope to make a website this summer using the Django framework. I also hope to test the MacBook in the coming days/weeks in Android Studio or Xcode for mobile development with an emulator running. This actually seems like perhaps the most intensive task I didn't try that many programmers want to do with their machines nowadays. I just haven't really gotten in to mobile development as of yet.

    UPDATE:

    I cloned a iOS repo for a Corona Tracker App. I also downloaded Xcode and decided to try and run an emulator with this app. The app is called Corona Tracker, link to GitHub here:

    https://github.com/MhdHejazi/CoronaTracker

    When Xcode is just open and not running, the computer did not heat up very much. Less so than other IDEs which makes sense as its proprietary. I spun up an emulator and started the app and it briefly got up to 93 degrees, but then went back down to about 70-75 with the fan running on low. The only other work I had open was a terminal shell, 6 safari tabs, pages, and the activity monitor. The emulator took up a surprisingly little amount of memory. I think you could run Xcode with an emulator comfortably with 8GB of Memory as long as you didn't have very many other processes running. After not using the IDE but keeping it open and going back to internet browsing the temperatures went down to 55. I think android studio would be a different story, but Xcode and iOS development is very very well optimized from my testing. VMs, working with larger datasets and doing data engineering & analytics, and non-apple ecosystem development will all be higher strain than Xcode based on these results.

    Gaming:

    I knew I wouldn't be able to do heavy gaming on here (just wanted to play league with friends potentially). I have a gaming laptop for that. I downloaded and tested league and here's what I got. It runs 60 fps on medium settings turning off shadows and aliases (I capped the fps so it wouldn't try to squeeze out extra performance putting strain on the computer, but I never saw a dip so you could probably get higher fps results). The mouse was glitching a little bit the first time I ran it but it seemed better the next two times. The CPU temperatures are a bit scary however. It ran at about 95-100 Degrees with the fans on full blast. In comparison with my dell xps 13 which can run at 80 fps (again capped at 80) and was ranged between 60-70 degrees with medium fan noise. The Apple keyboard also felt a bit hotter to the touch. The dell heats up a lot near the top of the laptop where the heat is dissipating whereas the MacBook is more evenly distributed. Neither laptop got the point where I didn't want to stop typing or playing. Overall, I was a bit surprised that the dell outperformed the MacBook given the MacBook does have a better GPU. I will continue trying to run league in a couple days and maybe it will get better? If you are serious about gaming however, definitely stay clear although I hope that doesn't have to be said. It seems the cooling and CPU are bigger bottlenecks than the improved GPU.

    Speakers, Audio and Camera:

    The speakers are insane. I'm coming from windows laptops and this definitely has a lot higher sound quality than the other laptops I've used. It gets a bit louder than the xps, but the quality seems a lot better. I'm amazed! It's almost like a portable speaker. The Audio is also slightly better than the xps, but if I really wanted the best audio I would use a mic. The Camera is abysmal. Man how can they not get at least a 1080p camera?!? This thing looks fuzzy. The dell is maybe a hair better but still pretty trash in its own right. In a class zoom meeting surprisingly my camera looked better than probably 75% of the class.

    Thermal concerns?

    The MacBook Air 2020 definitely can get hot. It may be even a little hotter than it would otherwise be as most of the tests I have done were in the first 2-3 days of having the laptop, so I'm hopeful overtime and maybe with some software updates it won't get quite as hot. I know a lot of people have touched on this, but let me be clear this laptop does NOT thermal throttle. Thermal throttling means then cpu clock speed goes below the base 1.1 GHz which it does not. It simply does not turbo as long because of how hot the CPU gets. The temperatures on the MacBook are rather sporadic. One second they are in the 70s and a little later when compiling and running some code they are up to 90-95 degrees and a little while after that they are back in the 50s or 60s. I've found the idle temp to be around 40-50 degrees.

    In general, apple has been known to run their CPUs hot and this is not new to the MacBook Air. Yes, it would have been nice if they connected the heat pipe, but I honestly think they didn't so people would buy the pro. If this thing did have 10-15 % more peak performance and better performance under long sustained loads, why would anyone pay for the Pro? I believe there may be truth to that conspiracy.

    When doing simple web browsing or maybe watching YouTube and writing in notes, the temperatures usually are around 45-70 degrees. I feel like it gets a little hot for this type of task when compared to the xps which is always 35-55 degrees for similar tasks and usually on the lower end of that range. When I was in a zoom meeting with the camera on as well as doing some web browsing and messaging the temperatures were around 70-80. Again, a little too hot for what I feel like they should be for something so simple, but the fan was running at the lowest rpm which I guess is good when you are on a video call. I couldn't hear the fans at all.

    Compared to the XPS, the keyboard deck gets a little hotter overall, although I think the xps can get even hotter near the top of the keyboard than the air. The CPU temps on the XPS are a lot lower for sure, I don't know exactly how much of a role into the longevity of a device the heat of a CPU is, but they are designed to go up to 100 degrees safely. I am a tad bit concerned with how hot the CPU gets for longevity sake, but looking at other MacBooks and how their value holds has definitely subsided much of those concerns.

    Battery & Ports:

    I haven't completely tested the battery enough yet as I am often plugged in when using the laptop to run many of my compute intensive tasks. I plan on just doing web browsing and maybe movie watching some day in the future, but it does seem like it could last 7-9 hours of normal use on 50% brightness. Not amazing, but good battery. One of the biggest downsides of this computer to me is that there are only two usb-c thunderbolt ports. I honestly don't mind having dongles as I already had to purchase two for my xps, but the fact that they are both on the left side quite frankly sucks. I find myself more often than not wanting the charger on the right side, so it is very inconvenient to have them on the same side. The connection with a dock is great and working with multiple monitors works like a breeze. Just really wish there could have been a port on both sides...

    Conclusion:

    The MacBook Air is a great every day laptop, and a great laptop to program on. It has more than enough performance with the i5 model and 16GB of ram. You will be able to run small and medium sized projects as well as VMs, just be ready for a little bit of heat (not as bad as people let on). The keyboard and touchpad are in a league of their own and Mac OS is a bliss to work on. The integration with other apple products and overall joy I get when working on this device has been like no windows laptop I've had before. Here are my recommendations:

    For Students - YES YES YES! If you're in high school or college - even in CS or Engineering, get this laptop! It will work completely fine for all these workloads and you might almost never even hear the fan or have the CPU get above 70 degrees for those workloads. Assuming you are already in the apple ecosystem, heck even if you're not, this computer will be so fun to use and will last you for years to come.

    For Programmers - Yes, for most. If you are going to be running multiple VMs, or multiple IDEs or working on very large scale projects, or working with large datasets and you won't be using the cloud to do this computing, then you probably want to go with the Pro (wait for the new one to come out). If you don't fit in this category which I assume most of you don't, this laptop is perfect! It may get a little hot and the fans may come on when running code, but so will windows laptops. You would be getting this laptop because you want Mac OS, the great keyboard and touchpad and an overall great experience.

    For Gamers - No, shouldn't have to explain this.

    For content creators, video editing, etc. - Probably not. I don't do these types of things, but based on my results with a pretty low intensive game, the laptop doesn't seem cut out for these types of things. Go with the Pro or a windows laptop.

    For your average Joe - Yes, as long as you really want/need a MacBook. If you literally are only going to be using Microsoft suite, chrome, watching YouTube and netflix, etc. you can get a lot cheaper laptop. If you really want the Mac OS experience then definitely get this computer and save your money from the Pro. Also, probably stick with the i3 and 8gb of Ram for just these tasks.

    2020 MBA for nursing student?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 10:01 PM PDT

    I've been using Windows forever and feel like making a change. My Surface Pro has seen better days, so I'm considering getting myself a new 2020 Macbook Air (i5/8gb ram/256gb ssd).

    Does anyone know if 8gb ram would be suitable? I'll be mainly watching lectures, running Spotify, writing in Microsoft Word and will have a few internet tabs open.

    I also have an iPad that I've been using for note taking during lectures, so I hope the devices can sync data easily :)

    What’s Your Favorite USB-C Docking Station?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:43 PM PDT

    tl;dr: what's the best usb-c dock for MacBook Pro that supports two external monitors + built-in display with no mirroring? Willing to spend a lot for something really good.

    Hi all, I was using a Satechi dual usb-c adapter (https://satechi.net/products/type-c-dual-multimedia-adapter) as a dock for my MBP 16" setup, which includes 2 external monitors and a bunch of usb peripherals (mouse, 2.1 speakers, midi keyboard, charging stuff).

    It worked great until the other day. I think I must have been powering too many things — I plugged it in, my Mac auto-rebooted and USB ports stopped working. Went through the software recovery steps with apple support (reset NVRAM, reset SMC, etc), and they think the hardware got fried.

    So now I'm looking for a better dock with its own power source so that I don't have to worry about blowing out my USB ports again once it gets returned from service.

    Needs: * Dual external-monitor support, non-mirroring (need to be able to have my built-in display and two other monitors all displaying different things) * External Power

    Wants: * Gigabit Ethernet * As many thunderbolt/usb-c/usb 3.0 ports as possible

    The Henge Stone Pro might be perfect, but from the pictures it looks like it only has 1 usb-c in, so maybe can only support one external monitor without mirroring? If anyone knows about this, let me know.

    Macbook bought / Finalpro stays?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 12:31 AM PDT

    Hello and welcome to my question . I am going to buy a macbook of a dude who is selling it to me and charging extra because finalcut is already installed. So I'm afraid that he is trying to fool me because. If I get the computer and try to use finalcut on it. Will it not let me? Because I would use a different apple I'd to buy other stuff or something. But yea help. Is he telling the truth?

    Macbook pro 13" 2016 touch bar refurbished vs 2019 13" open box

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:20 PM PDT

    Hi all !

    I'm looking for your opinions on this. I'm pretty much looking to buy a laptop. I've ended up falling on an open box macbook pro 2019 13" at 1748$CAD (tax included) and a 2016 model at 1495$ CAD.

    I don't really see a difference from what i can see on internet. The refurbished one has a 256 gb pcle ssd, 8gb lpddr3 of memory, an intel i5-6267u.4 usbc ports with a 1 year warranty.

    The 2019 has 180 days of warranty.

    I was wondering what you were thinking about this. Which should i get ? It's a though decision.

    Big thanks !

    Does Target Display Mode still work in Catalina?

    I have a 2017 MBP 15 inch hooked up to a 3440x1440 monitor. I do however, have an old 2013 iMac (pre 5k) sitting around that is much too slow to use even for daily tasks (HDD is just bogged down) I've been thinking of placing it next to my monitor for a secondary display and using target display mode, but I'm not sure if that still works?

    I can't try it out because I'd need to buy an adapter, so please let me know!

    Finding the right Macbook

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 06:26 PM PDT

    Idk if this is the right place to post this but I'm currently looking for the right MacBook for me. I don't mind getting it pre-owned or refurbished. I currently have a Chromebook but my job requires me to use an application that isn't compatible with Chrome OS. Im not trying to spend more than $700. Im so out of touch with apples laptops so id figure to come here. Basically I just want something modern and suitable. Other than that, Im a college student for financial planning.

    Anyone else have "creaking" noise issues from the palm rest area?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 03:26 PM PDT

    Just got the new 2020 MBA. There is a noticeable creaking near the right palm rest area. When I'm typing and resting my palms on the laptop, there is an occasional creak from the right-side palm rest area.

    It doesn't seem to be due to wobbling on an uneven surface, as I've made sure to test this on a flat surface.

    Anyone else experience this issue? Is this an easy fix that can be solved by taking it into the apple store (once they re-open)?

    What happened to all the ports

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:42 PM PDT

    My 2015 MacBook Pro recently broke so I just got a new 13in MacBook Pro. The new model doesn't have any of the ports that the older version has and that I used all the time. Why would they take that away? My 2015 had a slot for SD cards, as well as USB and HDMI. Boy am I going to miss those. What am I supposed to do now? Do I have to get adapters for each? And does anyone know where I can get them cheaper than I'm sure Apple sells them for? Thanks

    Question about Scrolling Settings

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm relatively new to this. I got a MacBook Pro a few months back for school, though I occasionally use it for the Sims.

    How do I set up the scrolling so the track pad and mouse settings are different? I like the native functions of the trackpad, but I've played the Sims for 16 years on Windows, and obviously it's backwards.

    Every time I turn off natural scrolling for the mouse, it does it to my track pad as well. I want these to be independent of each other as the mouse is only ever used for my game.

    Help: audio on bluetooth headset switching automatically

    Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:21 PM PDT

    I own an early 2015 model Macbook Air 13 inch.

    Whenever I connect to bluetooth with my headphones and play music or YouTube audio with play through the headphones just fine for a while, but then it will switch audio to internal speakers automatically, but my bluetooth stays connected. I have tried changing the audio back to the earbuds but it won't switch back. Is this a common issue with a fix?
