MacBook Air with M1 is an incredibly portable laptop — it’s nimble and quick, with a silent, fanless design and a beautiful Retina display. Thanks to its slim profile and all‑day battery life, this Air moves at the speed of lightness.
Small chip. Giant leap.
M1 is our first chip designed specifically for Mac. Apple silicon integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and so much more onto a single tiny chip. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, M1 delivers exceptional performance, custom technologies and unbelievable power efficiency — a major breakthrough for Mac.
8‑Core CPU Devours tasks. Sips battery.
The CPU on M1 isn’t just astonishingly fast — it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that speed through everyday jobs while using far less energy. With that kind of processing power, MacBook Air can take on intensive tasks like professional-level video editing and action-packed gaming.
7‑core GPU Plays hard. Works wonders.
The GPU in M1 delivers lightning‑fast integrated graphics. So you can create, edit and seamlessly play back multiple streams of full‑quality 4K video without dropping a frame.
Up to 18 hours of battery life. Go the distance — free of charge.
A 16-core Neural Engine capable of 11 trillion operations per second. Process that. Apps on MacBook Air can use machine learning (ML) to automatically retouch photos like a pro, make smart tools such as magic wands and audio filters more accurate at auto‑detection, and so much more. That’s not just brainpower — that’s the power of a full stack of ML technologies.
The power of macOS on M1.
macOS unlocks the potential of the M1 chip and transforms Mac with all-new ways to work and play. Connect, share and create like never before using FaceTime and Messages. Explore the web on the streamlined Safari, the fastest browser in the world.2 And work across Mac and your other Apple devices with Universal Control. macOS also includes industry-leading privacy features and best‑in‑class security.
Magic Keyboard
Go ahead. Take the keys.
When a keyboard types like a dream and still does a whole lot more, that’s magic. With preprogrammed shortcuts, useful features are easy to access. Get help from Siri, switch keyboard languages, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight — there’s so much you can do with just a tap. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor help you type in low‑light settings.
