The Apple MacBook Air 2020 (M1) 8GB – 256GB laptop is under €1000 on Amazon. It’s currently one of our best value for money on budgets.
Like the Mac Mini and 13-inch MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air features the first of the new Apple M1 processors, making it both much more durable and much more powerful than previous Intel models.

The switch to the Apple M1 processor from the MacBook Air is a real success. Apple’s ultraportable no longer suffers at all from the comparison with the MacBook Pro, even to the point of being overshadowed. The MacBook Air M1 is lighter and runs silently. Admittedly, the Touch Bar is missing, but it is by no means a decisive criterion. The MacBook Air M1 is Apple’s best ultraportable and definitely one of the best ultraportables out there.

By adopting the MagicBook Pro alone, Huawei has addressed its main shortcoming (the keyboard) and retained its main strength (its screen). However, we would have preferred a slightly more recent processor, such as an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Zen 3 architecture. For a perfect copy, Huawei would have done well to offer better speakers and a larger-capacity battery – autonomy, on the other hand, is correct. We’ll finally settle for an empty M.2 slot instead.
