welcome back to quarantine content just
a little entertainment for you while
we're all staying inside
I'm your host marques Brownlee and this
is a new product
oh yeah that's a new Apple product this
is a wild time to be alive and and also
a wild time to release a new product
there's no events and there's no stores
no lines just none of the typical Apple
hype there isn't even any stores really
like if you go to apple.com right now at
the top it says hey all our stores are
closed right now until further notice
but then right underneath it says hey
check out our new stuff we just unveiled
so there is a bunch of stuff that's new
but there are two main things you
probably saw me tweeting about them that
is the new iPad pro and the new MacBook
Air so feel free to the thumbs up on
this video if you want me to cover both
of those things and mkbhd style but for
now what we have here is the new Refresh
20/20 macbook air so the air is Apple's
most popular laptop the most popular Mac
really and it has been for a while this
change is just a nice little refresh
it's a little update to bring it up to
speed with 20/20 you remember the
changes from the 16 inch MacBook Pro
from a couple months ago that made it so
great that stuff that I was asking them
to also bring down to the 13 inch
MacBook Pro well they brought some of
that down to the MacBook Air here first
so to start the new magic keyboard this
was the the big change we were all
waiting for getting rid of the butterfly
switches and moving back to scissor
switches which are more reliable have
more travel feel better to type on there
just straight up better in every way
it's still backlit it's still the same
size and everything but now it's just
miles better to type on matter of fact
I've been using that 16 inch MacBook Pro
a lot over the past few weeks because of
the new keyboard and it's been excellent
so I guess just generally good to see
Apple basically silently admitting fault
by slowly removing butterfly switches
from the rest of their lineup and this
keyboard also has the separate Escape
key no touch bar on the MacBook Air of
course and then the touch ID fingerprint
reader is separated off in the corner
and still works really quickly to unlock
and wake up and sleep
the inverted T arrow keys are also back
everybody's favorite the specs also got
an update now to intel's 10th gende iris
+ graphics it's a good performance boost
this the MacBook Air has never been a
powerhouse and it still isn't but it
also never really has needed to be so
this is a good update to catch it up to
speed you can get a quad-core chip in a
MacBook Air now for the first time and
the iris + graphics are saying they can
deliver up to 80% faster graphics
performance and in graphics-intensive
applications this isn't a review I've
only had this thing for a couple hours
so I can only really just rely on
benchmarks for now but yeah the numbers
say good things and yes that means it
will also now support Pro display XD are
now I don't know how many people setup
include a MacBook Air and a pro to split
XD are but hey if that's you now you're
covered they also went ahead and doubled
the base storage to 256 gigs now and you
can go up to 2 terabytes for the first
time on a MacBook Air which is nice and
you can also do 8 or 16 gigs of ram
which puts it right on par with the
samsung galaxy s 20 ultra that's a weird
comparison but they're also now still
saying you'll get all-day battery life
they say 11 hours of battery life by
their tests and of course like I said I
haven't had this long enough to really
test that but that's a good sign that
the claim hasn't changed too much it
still should get pretty good battery
life and that is pretty much the meat of
it like they really haven't changed what
you think about it that much about the
MacBook Air it's still the super thin
laptop lightweight machine we all know
it's still the same port situation but
what they have changed is the stuff
that's at the real core of it literally
which is the specs and the keyboard but
it's not a MacBook Pro after all so
there are some things that they didn't
change to this laptop so the big one is
there's no screen upgrade on this
MacBook Air it's the same size 13-inch
2560 by 1600 screen and the bezels are
all still here it's a pretty nice screen
but it's not the best screen possible no
Wi-Fi 6 and still a pretty garbage
quality 720p not even 1080 webcam this
is what that looks like it's still kind
of impressive how bad the webcams still
look in these MacBooks and then the
microphone it is improved and I think it
sounds pretty good there's a pretty low
signal noise ratio it
not exactly up to the quality of the 16
inch MacBook Pro which you might even
want to record a podcast on but decent
array of improved mics in the MacBook
Pro it's just it's still gonna look like
this like this what you're hearing now
this is what a studio quality microphone
sounds like just in case you're
wondering anyway there's better speakers
in this laptop - there's more bass and
about 25% more volume than the last
MacBook Air I will say they don't match
up to the 16 inch MacBook Pros new
speakers but that's totally unfair
because nothing really does those are
incredible and the new MacBook Air
speakers are actually quite nice they
get pretty loud and they sound clear
they're still not as bassy as something
from a bigger laptop but I'm impressed
here then the final update which is
price this now starts at $9.99 which is
still an expensive laptop but that's
pretty good especially when you're
competitive with other laptops in this
category with the same components same
performance and a pretty premium design
plus it's 100 bucks off if you have a
dot e-d-u email address so it starts at
899 for them so that's your first look
at it my take is at the end of the day
barring any weird performance problems
or strange glitches that I haven't found
this is setting itself up to be again
Apple's most popular computer for here
on out and it makes me want to switch my
daily computer that I carry most often
as a laptop is a 13-inch MacBook Pro I
still hate that keyboard it's still the
flat butterfly switches and I feel like
I could easily switch to the MacBook Air
I don't do anything that complex
I don't do video editing on my laptop
that much so this could easily be my
daily if I can get used to two ports I
think the number one thing I would miss
is the extra ports and a little bit of a
brighter screen but generally MacBook
Air is looking pretty good either way
this refresh is about what we were
looking for for the MacBook Air good
work now Apple if you could get on it
with a 13-inch MacBook Pro that would be
nice either way that's been it thank you
for watching let me know if you want to
see some iPad stuff and leave a comment
below what do you guys think catchy as
the next one pace
