Description
The Apple 13″ MacBook Air features Apple’s first chip designed specifically for Mac. The Apple M1 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Tackle your projects with the fast 8-Core CPU and take on graphics-intensive apps and games with the 7-core GPU. Accelerate machine learning tasks with the 16-core Neural Engine. Complete with a silent, fanless design and up to 18 hours of battery life, the MacBook Air is still portable, but now a lot more powerful. It also has 8GB of unified RAM and a 256GB SSD.
With over 4 million pixels, the 13.3″ Retina Display features a 2560 x 1600 screen resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio for 227 pixels per inch (ppi). The display also features up to 48 percent more color than the previous generation. With True Tone technology, the white balance automatically adjusts to match the color temperature of the light around you for a more natural viewing experience.
Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and use compatible wireless peripherals and accessories with Bluetooth 5.0. The two Thunderbolt 3 ports provide USB4 support and can even connect to the Apple Pro Display XDR in full 6K resolution. Apple also included studio-quality mics for clear recordings and calls. There is also Apple’s latest camera ISP in the M1 chip, which enables sharper images and more details in shadows and highlights in video calls. Keep your MacBook Air secure with Secure Enclave in M1 as well as Touch ID. The Touch Bar allows for shortcuts, the backlit Magic Keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience, and the Force Touch trackpad allows for precise cursor control, pressure-sensing capabilities, and Multi-Touch gestures.
Please note that this MacBook Air can only output to a single external display with up to 6K resolution at 60 Hz.
This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple’s website for upgrade eligibility.

Was looking for a laptop that was not a super computer, but is a super computer! B&H always has the best deals!

Quick, quiet, portable, long battery life… everything you want in a MacBook Air. Well, except maybe more than two Thunderbolt ports. But that is what it is.

M1 chip can sustain pretty much every task you give it

This is one of the coolest purchases I’ve ever made. I love that I’m able to use it for hours and hours without requiring a charge. I develop BI systems for a living, and when I run code on this machine, the speed of execution really impresses me, when compared with my previous MacBooks (2015 MBP 16 and 2018 MBP 13). I’m working on using it as my primary work + personal machine. With docker & tensorflow support for Apple Silicon the pipeline, things are looking bright. The fingerprint scanner is a very nice touch (pun intended) too, as it makes keeping my machine secure easy and without interrupting my workflows. The lack of native support for multiple external monitors is a bummer, but I was able to get around that easily using a dock and displaylink USB2.0-to-HDMI converter.

Switched from windows to Mac and was super surprised with the responsiveness and the color accuracy.

After waiting for this Mac for over 2 months because it was in popular demand, it was definitely worth the wait. It’s incredibly fast and it never gets hot, despite not having a noisy fan. The rose gold color is gorgeous. I would recommend anyone buying a new laptop to seriously consider getting a MacBook Air if you want to a sturdy laptop, with incredible performance.

I haven’t charged this computer in three days! Really good and long power life. Beautiful condition, fast rendering, powerful processing system. Using this for writing and general office work.

It was time to upgrade my mid-2015 Macbook pro. I was looking for something with more storage, in addition to being lighter in weight. This Macbook Air did not disappoint. Setup process was flawless. I was able to transfer my files directly from my old pro in under two hours.

I’ve been saving up to get a MacBook. And I needed a laptop for my e-commerce business. I’m beyond impressed with the speed & design of the air. I highly recommend worth every penny

Everything was super smooth – delivery within 2 days in perfect condition, easy set up, exactly the laptop needed for regular work and relax.

I had a MBA 2019 in the same configuration and decided to upgrade since I had heard so many good things about Apple silicon. I had no real complaints with the 2019 model. However, now that I have the this one, two primary things stand out: 1) you can tell it’s faster just by the feel of how long it takes apps to open and process. I haven’t done benchmarks, but it just feels like it has more than enough power, and 2) probably the most significant is the battery life, which is, can I use the word Epic? I find myself checking the battery icon at the top amazed at how little it’s gone down. Not sure how Apple pulled these two competing paradigms off, but they’ve certainly done it.
