About this MacBook Air

The 2020 Apple MacBook Air brings the newly revised scissor keyboard design to the 2020 MacBook Air line-up which is an improvement over the previous 2019 MacBook Air models. These models also feature minor internal improvements such as faster LPDDR4X SDRAM as well as newer 10th-generation Intel processors.

This model is available in Silver, Gold, or Space Grey. Whilst the Macbook Air is still the least powerful notebook provided by Apple, the company has made many improvements to bring the line-up more value with the introduction of a Touch ID sensor, True Tone technology, and the improved scissor mechanism keyboard.

The operating system of the MacBook Air can be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS X 10.15.3 (19D2064) up to the current MacOS X. The device can also run Windows 10 (64-Bit). This MacBook Air has dimensions of 0.16-0.63 in x 11.97 in x 8.36 in and weighs 2.8 lbs (1.29 kg).

Common questions

Is the order number the same as A2179?

Not exactly. The order number usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A2179 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What MacBook Air is model A2179?

A2179 is the Apple A-number shown for this MacBook Air family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 3302 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.

What macOS versions work with this model?

Use the model identifier, release year, and processor family from the spec table when checking macOS compatibility. Compatibility can change as Apple releases new macOS versions.

Is this MacBook Air still worth buying used?

It can be, depending on price, battery health, memory, storage, and condition. Compare this exact order number and model identifier against similar Techable listings before buying.

How much is this MacBook Air worth?

Value depends on RAM, storage, battery health, cosmetic condition, accessories, and market demand. Use the SellMac path on this page for a quote or use the identifiers here when comparing resale prices.

What should I search if this page is not the exact configuration?

Search the order number first when available, then compare the A-number, EMC, model identifier, year, chip, RAM, and storage. The same A-number can cover more than one configuration.
