Apple MacBook Air 13'' M1 chip 8-core CPU / 7-core GPU
MacBook Air
Our thinnest, lightest laptop is transformed by the Apple M1 chip. With up to 3.5x faster CPU performance. Up to 5x faster GPU. Up to 9x faster machine learning with our most advanced Neural Engine. Record-breaking battery life on MacBook Air. And a quiet, fanless design. It’s a powerhouse of a machine that’s still as light as ever.
No flea has ever gone this far
Here it is. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac. Apple’s M1 system-on-a-chip (SoC) packs 16 billion transistors into a single, tiny integrated circuit—the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more. With blazing-fast performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency, M1 is more than just an evolution of Mac. It’s a revolution.
Cuts the work. Saves the battery.
The M1 chip is home to the fastest CPU we’ve ever made. With so much processing power, MacBook Air can now tackle extraordinarily intensive tasks, like professional editing or fast-paced action games. And that’s not all. In addition to being 3.5x faster than its predecessor, the M1 chip’s octa-core CPU combines high-performance cores with energy-efficient cores to power through everyday tasks using 10x less power.
Machine learning
Up to 9x faster. Impressive, even for a 16-core Neural Engine. On MacBook Air, apps can use machine learning (ML) to automatically edit photos like the pros, improve the accuracy of smart tools like magic wands and audio filters for auto-detection, and more. It’s not just a matter of brainpower. It’s a whole arsenal of machine learning technologies.
All the power of macOS Big Sur and the M1 chip
Built to harness the power of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms the Mac experience with major performance gains. And powerful updates to apps. A stunning new design. And cutting-edge privacy and security. It’s our most powerful operating system yet. On our most advanced hardware yet.
Speed and responsiveness
The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make everything more responsive. MacBook Air wakes instantly. Everyday tasks like browsing photos or navigating Safari run faster. And your most demanding apps get the power they need.
The largest collection of apps ever offered
Use powerful apps built for the M1 chip. Enjoy all your current apps with Rosetta 2. And for the first time, use your favorite iPhone and iPad apps right on macOS Big Sur. It’s the largest collection of apps ever on a Mac.
Unified memory
A laptop that can do it all deserves memory that can do even more. The M1 chip offers up to 16GB of blazing-fast unified memory. This single pool of low-latency, high-bandwidth memory lets apps efficiently share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. So everything runs smoothly and quickly.
Retina Display: Colors so realistic, it's incredible
Images appear in unprecedented detail and realism on the stunning 13.3-inch Retina display with 2560 x 1600 resolution. Text is crisp and clear. Colors are more vibrant than ever. And the glass extends to the edge of the case, so nothing obstructs your view.
True Tone Technology
Your eyes thank you. MacBook Air automatically adjusts your display’s white point to the color temperature of your surroundings for a more natural viewing experience.
Camera and microphones, as if you were there
With the M1 chip’s image signal processor, you look your best on FaceTime calls and video conferences. Three built-in microphones ensure everything you say comes through loud and clear, whether you’re making a call, dictating a note, or asking Siri for a weather update.
FaceTime HD Camera
Images are clearer and sharper. Unexpected details emerge in shadows and highlights. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to adjust white balance and exposure to give a more natural skin tone to the subject.
Magic Keyboard: Touched. Adopted.
A keyboard that feels this comfortable and lets you do more is simply magic. New pre-programmed shortcuts make the most useful features even more accessible. Ask Siri for help, change the keyboard language, reply with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight—you can do it all, and more, with a simple gesture. And backlit keys with ambient light sensor let you see where you’re touching, even in the dark.
Touch ID
With just a touch, you can lock or unlock MacBook Air. Use your fingerprint to rent a movie, buy an app, or access things like secure documents or system settings. No password required. And when you shop online with Apple Pay, Touch ID automatically fills in your shipping and billing information without revealing your credit card details.
Wi Fi 6
Next-generation Wi-Fi isn’t just faster. It also preserves your MacBook Air’s performance as more devices connect to the network.
Thunderbolt/USB 4
With its extremely high bandwidth and immense versatility, Thunderbolt technology combines data transfer, video output, and power into a single connector. And MacBook Air doesn’t just have one Thunderbolt port. It has two.
