With the superpower of the Apple M1 chip
Here it is. Apple's first chip designed specifically for the Mac. The Apple-designed M1 system-on-a-chip (SoC) has no fewer than 16 billion transistors and integrates the central processing unit (CPU), the graphics processor (GPU), the Neural Engine, the EtherNet(CPU), graphics processor (GPU), Neural Engine, I/O and more on a single, tiny integrated circuit. With blistering performance, custom technologies and the best power efficiency on the market1the M1 chip is more than just an evolution for the Mac. It's a revolution.
CPU
The M1 chip features the fastest central processor Apple has ever created. With that kind of processing power, MacBook Air can now tackle extraordinarily intensive tasks, like professional editing or the most spectacular action games. And that's not all. In addition to being 3.5 times faster than its predecessor2the M1 chip's eight-core CPU combines its high-performance cores with energy-efficient cores, capable of tackling everyday tasks while using ten times less power.
GPU
1 day battery life
Thermal efficiency
On the 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 automatic detection, and more. This isn't just a deployment of brainpower. It's the deployment of a whole arsenal of machine learning technologies.
macOS Big Sur
Designed to harness the full power of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms the Mac experience by delivering major performance gains. But also powerful updates for apps. A remarkable new design. And state-of-the-art privacy features and security. It's Apple's most powerful operating system. On the most advanced Apple hardware ever.
Speed and responsiveness
Largest collection of apps ever
Unified memory
The M1 chip offers up to 16GB of ultra-fast unified memory. This single pool of low-latency, high-bandwidth memory allows apps to efficiently share data between the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine. So everything is done quickly and smoothly.
Security
With the M1 chip and macOS Big Sur, MacBook Air includes advanced security and privacy features that go far beyond what other computers in its class offer. So your system and your data are perfectly protected.
Images display unprecedented detail and realism on the stunning 13.3-inch Retina display8 with a resolution of 2560 x 1600. Text is crisp and clear. Colours are more vibrant than ever. And the glass extends right to the edge of the case, so nothing gets in the way of your view.

True Tone Technology
Your eyes say thank you. MacBook Air automatically adjusts your display's white point to the colour temperature of your environment to give you a more natural viewing experience.
With the M1 chip's image signal processor, you look your best on FaceTime calls and video conferences. Three built-in microphones ensure that everything you say is heard perfectly, whether you're making a call, dictating a note or asking Siri for a weather update.
FaceTime HD camera
Images are clearer and sharper. Unsuspected detail comes through in shadows and highlights. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to adjust white balance and exposure to give a more natural skin tone.
Three-mic set
Mics that listen only to you, not to what's going on around you.
A keyboard that gives you such incredible typing comfort 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, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight: you can do all this and more with a simple touch. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor let you see where you're putting your fingers, even in the dark.
Scissor mechanism
The advanced scissor mechanism provides a comfortable typing experience never before seen on a Mac notebook.
Force Touch trackpad
Precision. And plenty of room to swipe, pinch, or zoom.
Touch ID
Lock or unlock MacBook Air with a single touch. Use your fingerprint to rent a movie, buy an app, or access things like secure documents or system settings. Without having to enter your password every time. And when you shop online with Apple Pay, Touch ID fills in your shipping address and billing information without revealing your credit card information.

Wi-Fi 6
Next-generation Wi-Fi isn't just faster. It also preserves MacBook Air performance as other 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 in one connector. And MacBook Air doesn't just have one Thunderbolt port. It has two.
