Our thinnest, lightest notebook, completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip. CPU speeds up to 3.5x faster. GPU speeds up to 5x faster. An advanced Neural Engine for up to 9x faster machine learning. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. And a silent, fanless design. This much power has never been this ready to go.
Supercharged by the Apple M1 chip

Itʼs here. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies, and industryleading power efficiency, M1 is not just a next step for Mac — itʼs another level entirely.
The 8-core CPU on M1 isnʼt just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation — it balances highperformance cores with efficiency cores that crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing and actionpacked gaming.
5x
faster graphicsUp to 9x faster. Even for a 16-core Neural Engine, thatʼs a lot to process. 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. Thatʼs not just brain power — thatʼs the power of a full stack of ML technologies.
