- There are 2 stock models:. 1.1GHz Dual-Core Core i3 Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz. 2 cores. 256GB Storage. 1.1GHz Quad-Core Core i5 Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz. 4 cores. 512GB Storage Both come with 8GB RAM.
- As long as MacBook exists, “running too slow” seems to be a everlasting topic for some users. Upgrading RAM of Macbook becomes a popular choice.
Testing conducted by Apple in May 2017 using preproduction 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Air systems with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction MacBook Air systems with Apple M1 chip and 8-core GPU, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, all configured with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD. Tested with prerelease Shapr3D 3.45.0 using a 288.2MB model.
Logic Pro is open ended - it is possible to create a project that will even overload the maximum specced ($45,000 or so?) new Mac Pro, so the use of Logic very much depends on how many ridiculously powerhungry plugins you are going to deploy - that said, my daughter can work comfortably on her mid-2015 Macbook Air.
For video you will always want the fastest CPU and the fastest machine.

That said, I think it will do just fine, though 20 tracks doesn't say much. 20 tracks all loaded with Alchemy, two Space designers each and what not else might overload an Air, 20 tracks with some synths and two or three Space Designers on send-return auxes should run just fine.
For audio recording the Air is more than fine. My daughter runs about 50 to 100 mainly audio tracks on her 2015, with CPU to spare, so...
However, any Macbook Pro with a quad i7 from 2011 or later (basically any 15 inch retina, and the older 17 inch from 2011) will leave the new Air in its wake, at 50 to more than100 % higher speeds. Also: those are still upgradeable (RAM is exchangeable, not fixed)
