I bought a gold 8GB/256/7 core GPU MacBook Air in early January 2021. The MacBook Air form factor is my favorite — the early ’90s HP Omnibook 300 spoiled me for any notebook over 3 pounds — and I’ve owned a half dozen since the 2nd gen SSD version.

This review is written from my perspective as an analyst and writer. I do lots of research, and I commonly have two dozen or more open browser tabs, plus Mail, Messages, Preview, and a dozen more apps open. I also edit video and make video calls, but I keep 25TB of storage attached to a desktop iMac for bigger projects.
