FAQ MacBook Air Intel

Are you thinking about buying MacBook Air Intel but still unsure? Let’s take a look together at the key benefits and things to consider before you buy.

Which models belong to the "MacBook Air Intel" collection?

This category includes the last generations with Intel processors before Apple introduced the M1 chip. It includes the iconic 2017 MacBook Air (with wide silver bezels and USB-A), the first Retina models from late 2018 and mid-2019, and the early 2020 MacBook Air. It's the perfect choice for users looking for proven technology at a very affordable entry-level price.

Why should I buy a MacBook Air with an Intel processor today?

There are two very good reasons to choose an Intel model. First, the price: These devices are often significantly cheaper than the M-series and still offer enough performance for office work, browsing, and streaming. Second, software compatibility: Intel Macs are the only ones on which you can easily install Windows natively via Boot Camp. So, if you absolutely need Windows on your Mac, this collection is your first choice.

What is the difference between the 2017 MacBook Air and the newer Intel models (2018–2020)?

The 2017 MacBook Air is the "classic": It still has the old design with wider bezels, the illuminated Apple logo on the back, and, most importantly, many ports such as USB-A, an SD card slot, and MagSafe 2. The models from 2018 onward (Retina) have the modern, thinner design, a significantly sharper Retina display, Touch ID (fingerprint sensor), and rely exclusively on USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 ports.

What keyboard design do these models have?

Here you need to look closely. The 2017 MacBook Air uses the classic, very popular scissor mechanism. The 2018 and 2019 models use the flatter butterfly keyboard. The "Early 2020" MacBook Air (Intel) returned to the reliable scissor mechanism ("Magic Keyboard"). If a perfect typing feel is important to you, we particularly recommend the 2017 model or the Early 2020 model.

Do current macOS versions still run on these devices?

Yes, Apple continues to support Intel Macs with software updates. Models from 2018 onwards run smoothly with current macOS versions. While the older 2017 model is no longer officially supported by the very latest systems, it continues to receive important security updates and remains perfectly usable for everyday tasks.

How good is the battery life of a used MacBook Air Intel?

The MacBook Air is renowned for its long battery life. At Revendo, we thoroughly test each battery for its remaining capacity. Since the Intel chips consume slightly more power than the newer M-series chips, the battery life is a bit shorter than on the very latest models, but it will still reliably get you through a workday or school day with normal use (browsing, word processing).

Why buy from Revendo instead of from a private seller?

Especially with older laptops, condition is crucial. When buying privately, you never know how dusty the inside is or if the battery is about to die. At Revendo, every MacBook Air is opened, cleaned, securely wiped, and thoroughly tested. Plus, you get a 1-year warranty, so you're covered.
