MacBook Air Standard
Overview
Power. It's in the Air
Crushing everyday jobs with less power
Our thinnest, lightest notebook, is completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. And a silent, fanless design. This much power has never been this ready to go. 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 industry-leading power efficiency, M1 brings the MacBook Air to a new level.
MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing — it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that can still crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power.

Secure
The M1 chip gives Mac mini advanced security and privacy features beyond anything in its class, helping to keep your system and your data protected. The Secure Enclave coprocessor provides a silicon-level foundation for critical security features like Touch ID. It comes with a dedicated AES storage encryption engine. Secure boot and runtime security features ensure that only trusted Apple software loads at startup and helps protect macOS while running. Equipped with an activation lock, your Mac will be secure if it is ever lost, stolen, or misplaced.
Speed and Responsiveness
MacBook Air wakes instantly from sleep. The do‑it‑all notebook gets do‑the‑unbelievable memory. The M1 chip brings up to 16GB of superfast unified memory. This single pool of high‑bandwidth, low‑latency memory allows apps to share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine efficiently — so everything you do is fast and fluid.
