MacBook Air 2020 for arts students
We know: MacBooks are expensive and students generally don’t have a lot of money. Fortunately, there are a few older models of Apple’s famous laptop that will last a long time anyway and that you don’t have to spend your monthly shopping money on in one fell swoop. The best MacBook for students in this category is the MacBook Air 2020.
The MacBook Air is Apple’s most popular laptop. You can easily prepare your next lecture on the train with this laptop. Even if you are already in rooms, it is possible to study with a beer on the balcony with this MacBook. Although the laptop is two years old, it already has a successor. But it also remains the best laptop at the moment if you consider the price-quality ratio. The MacBook Air 2020 already has Apple’s M1 chip and is therefore very fast.
The cheapest version (from early 2020) does have an Intel Core i5. This processor is a lot slower, but also allows you to perform the usual student tasks.
With this laptop you can easily open Pages or Word, run Spotify and search for and download articles. And all at the same time! A photo editing program is also no problem, so that you can make the most beautiful pictures for your thesis. The battery life of 18 hours (M1 chip) also ensures that you never have to sit at a charging point in the lecture rooms.
If you like to watch Netflix in addition to studying, this laptop will also make you happy. The 13.3-inch Retina screen ensures that you watch your favorite films and series with a razor-sharp image. The MacBook Air 2020 is also available refurbished for a very low price. So are you a literature student or do you do social studies? Then this MacBook Air 2020 is the best deal for you!

MacBook Air 2022: for the student who has something to spare
Do you save some money on rent because you live in a basement somewhere outside the center? Or did you continue to live with your parents? Then you may have a little more money left for good equipment and it is a smart idea to look at the latest MacBook: the MacBook Air 2022.
This MacBook is equipped with the M2 chip, the successor to the M1 chip that we know from the MacBook Air 2020. This laptop is so new that you are assured of at least ten years of fun (if you use it normally, of course). So, your studies may be delayed a bit. Do you want to make a significant investment in your study years? Then we recommend that you buy the MacBook Air 2022.
Apple has introduced a new design with the MacBook Air 2022. This laptop is very thin (only 11.3 mm) and weighs only 1.2 kilograms. This MacBook also doesn’t need a fan, so it’s very quiet. The Macbook Air 2022 is even better if you use a lot of SOG (study evasiveness). The new MacBook Air has four speakers with spatial audio. Movies and series on Netflix have never sounded so good. The improved 1080p FaceTime camera ensures that you can also make video calls and therefore prefer to follow lectures in bed than at university.
