Shopping for the best laptop isn't always easy with so many great models around – but whatever your requirements and tastes, the M1-powered Apple MacBook Air launched in 2020 and the Asus VivoBook S15 have to be somewhere near the top of your shortlist.

These are two excellent laptops that give you the best of what macOS and Windows have to offer, and the two different operating systems are your first considerations: which one gives you the features and the software that you're going to be needing every day?

After you've weighed up the two software options, then you can start digging into the lists of specs and the features that the 2020 Apple MacBook Air and the Asus VivoBook S15 have to offer. We've broken down everything you need to know in the sections below.

Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) vs Asus VivoBook S15: design and screen

When it comes to the 2020 refresh of the MacBook Air, Apple's engineers didn't mess with the design at all – and why would they? It's a classic aesthetic that looks stylish and svelte, with carefully crafted aluminium curves and everything in its right place, as well as an impeccable build quality that you can rely on. All the changes this time around were internal, and that's fine with us.

The keyboard is a joy to type on and of course Apple is one of the best in the business when it comes to making trackpads. You don't get the rather superfluous Touch Bar that you do with the MacBook Pros, but for us that's a benefit. Gold, space grey and silver are your colour options, while you get a single 3.5 mm headphone jack and two USB-C ports that also function as Thunderbolt 4 ports and power ports.

As for the screen, the 16:10 aspect ratio, 13.3-inch LCD panel runs at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels: it's super-sharp, nice and bright, and a treat for the eyes. It also makes for a more compact laptop overall, compared with the 15.6-inch screen on the Asus VivoBook S15 – the Apple model is more lightweight and more suitable for throwing in a bag, and it's completely silent and fanless too.

Switching to the Asus VivoBook S15 (specifically the S533 model we reviewed), that 15.6-inch, 16:9 LCD screen runs at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. That means it has a bigger display than the MacBook Air, but one that's not as sharp – the resolution means you won't fit any more spreadsheet rows or website text on it, but the size means there's a larger canvas for your movies and other videos (the different aspect ratio makes it more suitable for entertainment too).

WIth a 15.6-inch display, the Asus VivoBook S15 is inevitably bigger and bulkier than the Apple MacBook Air – this is perhaps best suited to sitting on a desk for most of the time, though it's by no means too hefty to lug around in a bag. We like the design of the Asus laptop a lot too, with some nice backlighting on the keyboard (including a highlight around the Enter key), and enough room for a number pad. Computer art software, free download.

You can pick up the Asus VivoBook S15 with a black, white, red or bluey-greeny lid – they all look pretty good – and in terms of ports you've got an HDMI port, a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, a USB 3.2 USB-A port, and two USB 2.0 USB-A ports, plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a microSD card reader. The Asus is perhaps the laptop for you if you've got a lot of stuff to connect up to it. We should also mention that both the Apple and Asus laptops feature a fingerprint sensor for fast and convenient access to the system.

Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) vs Asus VivoBook S15: specs and performance

The 2020 MacBook Air was most notable for being the first Apple laptop to switch over to the company's own processor chips – the M1, in this case, which also includes its own 16-core neural engine and an integrated 7-core GPU. Besides that, the laptop comes with 8GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, 1TB or 2GB of internal storage – enough options to keep most users happy.

Based on testing so far, the M1 has been wowing just about everyone who has used it. It's a huge leap forward in performance terms, and whether you're encoding video or browsing the web you're unlikely to be disappointed with the speed of this laptop. You don't really have to wait for anything to happen, and some gaming is possible too (not that macOS is great in terms of gaming support).

As the M1 uses new architecture, older programs need to be emulated, and that may cause problems with some pro-level software – do check before you buy. However, most applications are fine and are super-smooth in operation. Battery life really impresses as well, and we were getting 14-15 hours between charges with normal use; even intensive gaming can only knock the battery level down about 25% per hour.

When it comes to the Asus VivoBook S15, multiple configurations are available, and that's just for the S533 variant we reviewed (other variants are available). A choice of i5 and i7 chips is on offer, topping out with an 11th-gen i7-1165G7 processor with integrated Intel Iris Plus graphics. 8GB and 16GB are the RAM choices, with 256GB, 512GB, 512GB or 1TB of on-board storage available.

Graphics can be boosted to an Nvidia GeForce MX350 if needed, and coupled with the Windows software, that makes this a better gaming option than the MacBook Air – top titles won't run at the best settings, but they will run. Otherwise, even though the VivoBook S15 has a very good spec on its own, the M1 outruns it in terms of sheer processing power (even if not every application takes advantage of it right now).

Battery life on the Asus VivoBook S15 is 7-8 hours between charges, as the laptop lacks the hardware-software optimisation that Apple can maximise through controlling every part of the MacBook Air – from CPU to operating system. Still, that's more than enough time to work away from the office for a day, so you might find that it's enough for your needs.

Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) vs Asus VivoBook S15: price and verdict

There's a lot to weigh up when it comes to comparing the M1 Apple MacBook Air for 2020 and the Asus VivoBook S15 – it's actually hard to say that one laptop is better than the other, because we all put different demands on our laptops, and we all have different tastes as far as hardware design and operating systems go.

It's hard to deny that the Apple M1 chip is a spectacular leap forward in terms of processing power and battery life, and Intel is going to have to work hard to catch up over the next few years. You're likely to get better performance from the MacBook Air, particularly on Apple's own apps – but then again a VivoBook S15 with an Nvidia GPU option is going to be better for your PC gaming.

We should also point out that the Asus VivoBook S15 can be had for a lower price than the Apple MacBook Air. Check the pricing widgets on this page for the latest online deals, but the MacBook Air officially starts at £999 and the VivoBook S15 can be had for a couple of hundred pounds less than that (depending on the configuration of course). That's something else to factor into your considerations.

In terms of how lightweight these laptops are and how long they can last away from a power source, the MacBook Air is the obvious champion: it has twice the battery life of the Asus laptop, as well as a smaller screen that makes it easier to cram into a bag while you're on the go. Of course maybe you prefer a bigger display for Netflix watching and so on – this is where your own personal requirements come into play.

The Windows vs macOS debate continues to rumble on, but the truth is that we spend a lot of our computing time on the web now, and most desktop applications besides browsers are available on both platforms. Unless you need a specific Apple program (macOS) or PC games (Windows), it doesn't matter too much which one you choose – you've probably already developed a favourite over the years anyway.

These are two very impressive laptops and we're happy to recommend both of them – and they both come out on top in different categories. Which one is best for you is likely to depend on the laptop you're upgrading from, and whether you're most comfortable with Mac or Windows software, but there's plenty more to factor in as well.

This tip is part of a series of tips for : Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6,10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 El Capitan,

10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, 10.15 Catalina, 11.0 Big Sur.


If a Mac shipped new with 10.11 it can be updated to 10.14 Mojave direct from the Mac App Store.

If it is not running 10.12 yet, but was prebundled with 10.11, it can be upgraded to 10.12 first, then upgraded to Catalina.


Backup your data first.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 offers instructions to get the download link for El Capitan installs on top of older operating systems.


Please note: two factor authentication needed to unlock AppleID accounts did not come about until 10.12.4 on Mac OS.


If a Mac is already running 10.12, and it is older than 10.12, you must format a separate GUID HFS Plus partition to install 10.11 or earlier on it. The reasoning is starting with High Sierra HFS Plus is automatically formatted on SSD and thumb drives.


If a Mac has 10.8 on it, it can be upgraded to 10.13 High Sierra if it doesn't meet 10.14's requirements but does 10.13's.

If a Mac has 10.7.5 or later on it, it can be updated to 10.12 Sierra if it meets 10.12's system requirements. 10.12's availability just became known to the author of this tip on October 1, 2018.

Some important dates:

September 17, 2018, Apple released iOS 12. Synchronizing with it needs El Capitan or newer on a Mac.

El Capitan is only available to those who downloaded it before, or have 10.6.8 installed. Sierra is available to

those with preloaded 10.7 or later Macs. Either one can be installed on its own partition to allow compatibility with older apps while synchronizing iTunes with iOS 12.


September 25, 2017, Apple replaced Mac OS Sierra with Mac OS High Sierra on the Apple Mac App Store.

September 20, 2016, Apple released Mac OS Sierra and changed the minimum system requirements of its operating system.

September 30, 2015, Apple released Mac OS X 10.11, El Capitan.

December 8, 2015: Apple fixed issues with Image Capture scanning that existed with 10.11.0, and 10.11.1, with the release of 10.11.2 at least for the Canon Pixma MX922, and probably other multifunction printers and scanner..

January 19, 2016: Apple released 10.11.3.

January 27, 2016: Apple has updated support links for several printers on 10.11.

March 12, 2016: This tip got updated with additional links from January 27, 2016 updates, and manufacturer El Capitan Printer and Scanner drivers.

March 21, 2016: 10.11.4 was released.

May 16, 2016: 10.11.5 was released.

July 18, 2016: 10.11.6 was released

July 19, 2017: 10.11.6 Security update was released: Security Update 2017-003

September 20, 2016, Apple released Mac OS 10.12, Sierra. El Capitan is no longer available except to people who purchased machines with it, and purchased it for download before Sierra's release.


Apple has now made the official releases for El Capitan through Mojave available on their support pages:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886 10.11 El Capitan

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208202 10.12 Sierra

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208969 10.13 High Sierra

https://support.apple.com/macos/mojave 10.14 Mojave


There has been limited success installing 10.11 directly onto 10.8.5.


Note: The 6 GB file takes approximately 37 minutes at 25 Mbps. After

which point you'll have to check through the license agreement and then it will proceed with the installation of about 24 minutes. That 24 minute installation may be longer depending on the capacity and memory support of your system, and should not be regarded as an exact time. If it takes longer than 2 hours in the 24 minute process, feel free to post on the forum to ask if there is something that might have been overlooked.


Before installing, be sure to backup your data:


iPhoto moved to the Pictures App which loses some capabilities in Mac OS X 10.10.2 and later. This tip explains how to keep both:


And make sure your system is otherwise functional.


Also if you are upgrading from 10.6.8 or earlier, please read this tip first, as the 'free' upgrade may cost a lot more, given that Apple

has not supported a software allowing older applications since the release of 10.7:



Then look at the software reports after 10/1/2015 on http://roaringapps.com/apps?platform=osx

Don't just consider the table having a green circle saying that it is compatible as people have been testing with pre-release versions of 10.11, and may have reported it in there. The only release version of 10.11 tests could have been performed on 9/30/2015 or later.


There are some known issues with Microsoft Office that they have listed on their knowledgebase and they have issued 14.5.6 & 14.5.7 of Office 2011 to address these.

El Capitan Compatible printer and scanner models that are on Apple's knowledgebase article are available. Additional entries are on printer websites with Apple software update links below:

Macbook Air System Requirements For Construction

NRG (January 27, 2016)


Printers on the article that are not reflected by those downloads have El Capitan drivers available directly from their vendors, as listed below:


HP - http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04473034 has more direct info about compatible printers on their support documents page including 10.11 compatibility.

Canon has this page to find if your printer is El Capitan Compatible:


Kodak has a generic 7.9 driver for all in one printers and El Capitan: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17378/selected/true


Dell's listing is here: http://www.dell.com/support/Article/us/en/19/SLN299394/EN


Samsung gave me the Yosemite & El Capitan printers via their online support chat, as they have not made a specific page for these:

Sl-C1810, Sl-C1860, SL-C410, SL-M2020, Sl-M2070, SL-M2835, SL-M2875, SL-M2885


There may be open source drivers that work as well, that have not be investigated by me, though are put on my own personal FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html

10.11.2 patches some issues with 10.11 and automatic document feeder scanning from the Canon Pixma MX922, and may help other scanners that no longer had their Image Capture interface for the document feeder.


Also found with another copy of 10.11.2, was the Canon MX922 was automatically recognized on launch, and with waiting for the dialog, it was able to locate the right drivers to download automatically.


I'm watching responses to my thread here to find out if there are other printers other than that which I own:

Apple has released RAW camera update for 10.11 here:

Additional updates may come with a newer version, and can be searched on your favorite internet search engine.


From http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/#hardware-requirements

Apple lists the following models whose Machine ID found in your System Profiler application.


Compatible with most features:

  • MacBook (Early 2015) [8,1]
  • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) [5,1 or 5,2]
  • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) [3,1]
  • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) [2,1]
  • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) [3,1]
  • iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) [7,1]
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) [3,1] *
  • Xserve (Early 2009) [3,1]

* Note: As the model #s are very similar to 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10, it is possible that the solution that allows earlier Mac Pros to be used may be feasible for 10.11.

That solution is here: 1,x to 2,x not officially supported solution (for Mountain Lion) No one has yet reported trying this on anything later. Note, the 2018 El Capitan Security updates do not work well with these older Mac Pro models.


Other models mentioned for unique features of 10.11 include:


  • MacBook Pro (2012 or newer) [9,1]
  • MacBook Pro with Retina display (Mid 2012 or newer) [10,1]
  • MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer) [9,1]
  • MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) [8,1]
  • MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer) [5,1]
  • MacBook Air (2012 or newer) [MD508LL/A, 5,1]
  • MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer) [5.1]
  • MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer) [4,1]
  • MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer) [3,1]
  • Mac mini (2012 or newer) [6,1]
  • Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer) [6,1]
  • Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer) [5,1]
  • Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer) [4,1]
  • iMac (2012 or newer) [13,1]
  • iMac (Late 2012 or newer) [13,1]
  • iMac (Mid 2011 or newer) [12,1]
  • iMac (Early 2009 or newer) [9,1]
