Which 2020 MacBook Air? There was an Intel model, introduced in March 2020, and a M1-based model, introduced in November 2020.


Also, how much memory does each have? You can add external storage to a MacBook Air – but you can't add RAM to one after the fact. So if you're planning to run something like Photoshop or Lightroom Classic (for which Adobe recommends 16+ GB of RAM), getting a machine with 8 GB of RAM might be a mistake.

Which to Get?:

From what you've provided, I'd go for the more recent model, being updates will be provided for 6 or 7 years after the date of release. Provide a Buch more, and you'll like get a better answer than that. What are you looking to use this for? How often will you be using it?


Three Questions...

When it comes to purchasing a Mac, getting it from Apple is most wise, as a way to avoid scams and such...

  • Who is the seller?
  • Where will your be using this?
  • Where are you purchasing this?
