The M1 chip inside this MacBook Air proved that Apple could make its own chips that didn’t just match what the likes of Intel and AMD were putting out – but it could surpass them as well. If you’ve yet to use a 90Hz or 120Hz display you won’t miss it here, but it would have been nice to see Apple include it on the iPad Air to make this tablet feel even more premium than it already does. With many of us making much greater use of video-calling apps in 2020, it would have been a nice touch for Apple to improve the selfie camera here, but it’s the same sensor the company has used in the past. On the front of the tablet is a 7MP selfie camera that we found to be satisfactory, but it isn’t particularly impressive from Apple considering that a lot of Android tablets now offer better cameras for front-facing video. We’ve yet to learn how big the battery in the iPad Air 4 is – again, it’s not a spec that Apple often shares – but battery performance seems as good as from previous iPads, and we found we could use the tablet for around 10 hours before having to reach for the charger.

You get a 20W charger in the box – Apple has stopped including chargers in the box with the iPhone 12 range, but has chosen not to do so here – and you’ll find that can charge up your tablet quicker than an iPad Air 3. We found it was able to charge the tablet from zero to 27% in half an hour. We found the A14 Bionic chip to work phenomenally well, with the iPad Air (2020) opening apps in record times and easily handling multitasking and other complex tasks. Western analysts found that Soviet non-Slavs, including Jews, Armenians, and Asians were generally barred from senior ranks and from joining elite or strategic positions in the Air Force, Strategic Rocket Forces, and the Soviet Navy because of doubts regarding the loyalty of ethnic minorities.

The MacBook Air (M1, 2020) remains one of the best laptops you can buy. Its impact on MacBooks, and laptops as a whole, cannot be underestimated, and at an all-time low price, it remains excellent value. The performance of the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) was incredibly impressive when it launched, and it still remains an excellent performer today. The iPad Air (2020) is running Apple’s latest iPadOS 14 software out of the box, and it’s arguably the best software you’ll find on a tablet – Android isn’t as well-optimized for tablets as Apple’s dedicated software. The iPad Air 4 has some of the latest and best internals available in a tablet, and on paper it even beats the iPad Pro, with the latest A14 chipset powering the new Air product, where the newest Pro has the previous-gen A13 processor. On paper, the A14 chipset may sound better than the A12Z that you find in the iPad Pro, and for some tasks that will be the case; however, if you’re multitasking, or need a lot of raw power, the A12Z is the more capable chip, as it has eight cores compared to the A14’s four, and benchmarks show it’s better at those more demanding tasks.

This Pro tablet has a medium-sized screen, a powerful chipset and a good-looking screen, though it costs a bit more than the iPad Air. It’s also worth noting that if you’re more of a power user even 256GB may not be enough space; some iPad Pro products offer up to 1TB of space onboard, but it’s not an option on the Air 4, and will be a deal-breaker for some. But if you’re not editing video or doing other similarly intensive tasks – or if you’re willing to wait a little longer for your tablet to complete a process – then the iPad Air 4 will be more than adequate. If you’ve got an iPhone then you’ll find it easy enough to get your head around iPadOS, but there may be a slight learning curve if you’re coming from an Android tablet. But it’s not so bad: The handler gets another working dog, and a worthy dog-lover adopts the retired dog, who can then live like a regular pet. Pollen gets transported by animals, like bees, or by the wind. We’ve seen Samsung and Amazon address this on their slates by moving their front-facing cameras to the top of the slate when they’re in landscape mode, and it’s something we’d like to see Apple consider doing in the future.
