Your choice. Your Air.

Your choice. Your Air.

MacBook Air is all you — pick your size, pick your color, then go. Whichever model you choose, it’s built with the planet in mind, with a durable 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure. And a fanless design means it stays silent even under intense workloads.

Two perfect sizes.

Two perfect sizes.

Whether you pick the 13- or 15‑inch laptop, both models are superlight and measure just under half an inch thin, so you can take yours anywhere.

Incredible speed and battery life?

Incredible speed and battery life?

The M2 chip brings more speed to everything you do — whether you’re editing a video for class, collaborating on a business plan, or streaming a show while you shop online. And with all-day battery life, you can leave the power adapter at home.

Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air delivers up to 2x faster performance, up to 50 percent faster web browsing, and up to 50 percent longer battery life.

Mac + iPhone.

Mac + iPhone.

Mac is designed to be just as easy to learn as iPhone. And whether you’re chatting with friends in Messages, transferring files with AirDrop, or locating devices with Find My — when you use Mac with iPhone, they work even better together.

iCloud.

iCloud.

With iCloud, you can store all your photos, contacts, and documents so they’re available on all your devices. Start a to-do list on your iPhone and check off items on your Mac — and so much more.

Migration Assistant.

Migration Assistant.

Easily move files, apps, and more from your old PC or Mac. And if you need any help, Apple Support is always just an online chat, phone call, or in-store appointment away.

Powerful apps built in.

Powerful apps built in.

Mac comes with apps like FaceTime, Freeform, Photos, and Keynote that let you get to work creating and collaborating on your next big idea.

A clear winner.

A clear winner.

The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a sight to behold, with support for 1 billion colors and up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears supercrisp for easy reading.

High-definition camera.

High-definition camera.

Look your best with the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, whether you’re catching up with friends and family or collaborating with coworkers around the globe.

Immersive sound system.

Immersive sound system.

The speakers on MacBook Air support Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy three-dimensional soundstages for music and movies.

Just your type.

Just your type.

The comfortable and quiet backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, and secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites — all at the touch of a finger.

Impressively big.

Impossibly thin.

The new 15‑inch MacBook Air makes room for more of what you love with a spacious Liquid Retina display. And with the 13‑inch model, you have more reasons than ever to choose Air. Supercharged by the M2 chip — and with up to 18 hours of battery life1 — both laptops deliver blazing-fast performance in an ultraportable design.
