I own a 2020 MacBook Air with an i3 processor, and it's serving me well as I am not the heavy user. I'm curious about the anticipated duration of Apple's support for this MacBook line. Should I consider upgrading to one of the newer MacBook models?

2020 should receive OS upgrades for another 3 years.

Also apple has never made an i3 air. There was an m3 MacBook which was older, I believe support for these has now ended.

Apple says the base Air in 2020 was an i3 but idk that I’ve ever seen one in the flesh.

I was broke student back then and needed a computer ASAP for assignments. Hence the i3 Mac.

Wow, thanks for clarifying this. I've never seen one in the wild either. Must have been a short run before the M1 air was released.
