MACBOOK AIR (2020)
Not convinced by Apple’s iPad
claims? Its most popular laptop
has also been updated, with a
more significant spec bump
than the iPad Pro. The £
base model now comes with
256GB of storage, double that
of its predecessor, which
means even more movies
and photos to stare at on its
lovely Retina display. CPU
performance is up to twice as
fast and graphics performance
is up to 80% faster thanks to
Intel’s Iris Plus chips. It also gets
its own Magic Keyboard to
replace the divisive butterfly
QWERTY – which might just be
the most important upgrade
of the lot.

The cantilever design of
the Magic Keyboard allows
you to adjust the viewing
angle of the iPad anywhere
between zero and 130°.
It’s available in two sizes,
to match the 11in or
12.9in Pro.Green guardin’
The Pro’s eco creds
include aluminium smelted
using hydroelectricity, plenty
of recycled plastic, and 68%
less energy consumed than
the Energy Star limit. See

gadgetry.
