Model number: A2179
Model identifier: MacBookAir9,1
The early 2020 MacBook Air was the last Intel Air and the first with the Magic Keyboard. Its cooling is limited, so it runs hot and slows down under load.
Which model do you have?
A2179 is printed on the underside. It has two Thunderbolt 3 ports and an Escape key with physical function keys.
The model number is printed in small grey text on the underside of the case, near the hinge. It starts with the letter A followed by four digits.

Your data
The storage on this model is soldered to the logic board and encrypted by Apple's T2 security chip. That means data can only be read back through the original board, so when the Mac won't power on we repair the board first rather than removing the drive. See our no-power data recovery service.
