The iPad Air for 2020 is a phenomenally well-made tablet that improves upon the last-gen version in a variety of ways, solving issues with that tablet’s dated design and accessories. Hopefully, the next version of the MacBook Air will try something as ground-breaking as the original MacBook Air. The Staple Singers performed their version of song that became a part of the civil rights movement in the US. There are still thick bezels around the outside of the display, as there are on the iPad Pro, but overall it feels like a big step up compared to the design of last year’s Air. Give us a chance to make sure you are comfortable and cool. The home button has been dropped in favor of an all-screen design to make it more in line with Apple’s Pro products. There are four speakers, two each on the top and bottom edges, and a lock button at the left of the top edge – this also houses the Touch ID scanner if you want to unlock your slate with your fingerprint. We found this to work well throughout our testing time – our thumb fell naturally on this spot, so little effort was required to reach the button.

It also makes the MacBook Air feel a little cluttered – and slightly uneven – if you plug in two (or more if you have an adapter) devices into the Thunderbolt 3 ports. Thanks to the iPad Air 5 launching, and several years elapsing, the older tablet is now a little more affordable than when it launched – though it’s still not outright ‘cheap’. We should point out that this isn’t the newest member in its series, with the iPad Air 5 launching in early 2022 to steal its thunder – but the 2020 model is still a worthwhile affordable alternative. While Apple’s Keyboard Service Program, which will replace a faulty keyboard free of charge, extends to this year’s MacBook Air, it also suggests that the problem might still be prevalent. While the soap will eventually break down, it takes a while and can cause a lot of damage during that time.

Moving up the Air Force Ranks: The Air Force requires for airman first class to have 28 months’ time in grade (TIG), or 36 months of TIS and 20 months of TIG. The jump in price will make this a tougher sell for some, but the iPad Air for 2020 is so impressive that you may have trouble choosing between it and the iPad Pro. It’s a nice addition, but probably not one that will convince you to want to swap your 2018 model for this year’s. If you need more storage space or a slightly larger screen you’ll probably want to consider the iPad Pro range; but the iPad Air 2020 is improved in almost every conceivable way, making it hard to overlook if you want a top-of-the line iPad without quite spending top dollar. Like the iPad Pro range the iPad Air 4 comes with an almost all-screen front, and supports the Apple Pencil (second generation); it also has the same squared-edge design.

Everything feels a touch more refined on the iPad Air 4, so much so that it’s now difficult to justify opting for an iPad Pro if you like this design but aren’t desperate for a fast-refreshing 120Hz display. That said, we felt we had better grip thanks to this design, and it gives the tablet as a whole a distinct look and feel that’s more in line with the new iPhone 12 family, and iPad Pro range. The design of the iPad Air has a lot in common with the iPad Pro range. The iPad Air 4 release date was October 23, though pre-orders kicked off well before that. In some ways, it’s a good thing – but it’s also disappointing as well. We’ve used this tablet alongside the new iPad 2020, which sports the more traditional iPad look, and it’s remarkable how much the Air feels different to that tablet thanks to its straight edges and all-screen front.
