MacBook Air 2020 Model Review, Magic Keyboard becomes the finest work environment (Taro Matsumura)

US time We will deliver a review of MacBook Air (Early 2020), an Apple portable Mac (Early 2020) announced on March 18, 2020.

I review the cheapest bass model.This manuscript is also 1.I would like to write with 1GHz dual core INTEL Core i3 processors, 256GB storage and 8GB memory.Even so, because it is a base model, it focuses on the keyboard that is a personal hot topic.

There are options

The 2019 model MacBook Air is equipped with the 8th generation Intel Core processor, like the 2018 model..There was only one 6GHz clock speed.Even though the MacBook Air is an introductory machine, many people have the ability to complete their work enough, and if you use it for a long time, you will choose a faster processor.However, the Retina -conated MacBook Air has missed the needs of those who want to make such a main machine.

But this time is different.1.In addition to 1GHz dual core Core i3, 1.1GHz Quad Core Core i5, further 1.2GHz Quad Core Core i7 processor can be selected.If you like it and want to use it for a long time, it seems good to upgrade your processor.

Then 1.Is it useless for the base model equipped with 1GHz dual core Intel Core i3?That is not the case.

In fact, I wrote all the MacBook Air articles that I wrote this time, including this manuscript, with a new MacBook Air, edited photos, and summarized the video, but I felt that I was able to work without any problems.。

Nevertheless, the base price of the 2020 model is 93,800 yen (the same as less than tax).The 2019 model MacBook Air is 119,800 yen equipped with 128GB storage and a 256GB storage expansion of 139,800 yen, so it seems good to say that it is actually 46,000 yen.

As a sub -machine for people with a desktop machine, I want a machine as a machine that people who enter high school or college are used during school (academic is 11,000 yen cheaper!), And I want one comfortable computer for remote work.For people, the MacBook Air base model is a good option.

Equipped with Magic Keyboard

Personally, the most notable point in this MacBook Air is 0.It is not that it has become 5mm thicker.No, it's related to thickening, but the keyboard has been changed from the butterfly structure to the scissor structure, and the name "Magic Keyboard" is the same as the MacBook Pro 16 -inch model.

Some people who used the MacBook Air until 2017 said that they could not be replaced because of the butterfly key.Since the 2015 MacBook, the new keyboard installed to pursue thinning was unpopular.Personally, I didn't hate that much, but I can't get a problem.

When I entered it with the new MacBook Air Magic Keyboard, I couldn't float anything other than the impression that this is the best.

This is a bad way, but I do the way to perceive a computer on Magic Keyboard, rather than a MAGIC KEYBOARD on the MacBook Air.That's why my usual work is still a keyboard, and I want to be delighted to be able to carry a comfortable keyboard.

Even if you leave it to an angry finger, you can get angry

By the way, I will try to express the comfort in words as much as possible.

If you start typing with your finger in the home position, you can see that there is a depth that was not felt on the butterfly keyboard so far.There is a feeling that this depth reduces the habit of my mistype from typing unevenness.

"Ninjibibi", which is not a ninja that is a ninja, with a weak force and a small up and down movement, as a ninja.Personally, this method is the fastest way to hit.If you enter it with a nin -finger with Magic Keyboard, you will feel the rebellion of the rubber dome that you made independently, and you can easily grasp the timing of "you can relax."

At the time of the butterfly keyboard, it immediately reached the bottom, and if I did not know the feeling of tracing, the tempo became worse.

Also, there are occasions like this.When you're in good shape, when you want to typing with a little booming with a large up and down movement of your fingers.Alternatively, Enter key that punches out with a flashy angry by email, message, chat, etc....。

Unlike the ninja finger, when typing to apply power, it is prepared for the next fingering without being immediately bounced thanks to the depth.After all, 0.Thanks to the depth of the keys from 55mm to 1mm, Magic Keyboard has the impression that it has been properly supported to various keystrokes.

However, compared to the previous MacBook Air keyboard until 2017, the key top is 0 on one side..It is about 5mm wider, and you can input stable input even if the polygonal position is shifted.

Flickered iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard...

By the way, for me who loves keyboards, this Apple's announcement was like the "Magic Keyboard Festival".This time, Magic Keyboard was also available on the iPad Pro with the MacBook Air.

Considering that the same mechanism is the same as the same name, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro will probably provide the same feeling as MacBook Air.Of course, the weight, thickness, and rigidity of the device to be mounted will change the feeling and sound and sound.

However, compared to Smart Keyboard Folio, which also serves as an iPad cover in fabric, a comfortable typing with a solid keytop and mechanism must be provided.

For example, let's say you want to get a car carrying machine.Therefore, there is a little annoying part, whether a new 13 -inch MacBook Air with Magic Keyboard is good, it is better to combine the iPad Pro and the newly prepared accessories, or Magic Keyboard.

The iPad Pro, of course, can be operated by touching the display, and can be written using Apple Pencil.In addition, you can get a comfortable typing environment with Magic Keyboard.And if it's a cellular model, SIM...。Somehow, iPad Pro seems to be a better choice.

But the problem is the price.The iPad Pro is 79,800 yen for a 11 -inch 128GB model and 98,800 yen for the 256GB model.iPad Pro 12.The 9 -inch 128GB model costs 94,800 yen, and the 256GB model costs 100,5800 yen.If you buy Magic Keyboard for this, it costs more 29,800 yen.

Probably A12Z has higher processing performance than Intel Core i3, and the quality of the display is better.In the case of the author, the iPad Pro accounts for 90 % of the time to use the computer, so Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is very attractive.

However, for most people who do not live a "#IPADONLY" life, it is cheaper to get the MacBook Air for 104800 yen equipped with 256GB storage, which is cheaper for MAGIC KEYBOARD.I guess you can do the job up to you as it is.

However, it is a little worrisome to be told to jump to MacBook Air immediately.

It is a 13 -inch MacBook Pro that I use for 10 % of computing.Despite the 16 -inch MacBook Pro, the 13 -inch MacBook Air supports Magic Keyboard, the 13 -inch MacBook Pro is left in the lineup with the butterfly key.

Perhaps the 13 -inch MacBook Pro will be replaced with Magic Keyboard, but if so, you will not jump to the MacBook Air right now, wait for the new model and consider price and specifications.It tells the importance of arranging good functions from the top models.

By the way, if you want a Mac with a golden gold, you should choose without hesitation because the MacBook Air is the only option.
