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.

Perfect. Just what I expected. Small, compact, great storage, ram, pixel quality is amazing. Really Happy with my purchase. Been a MacBook Air fan for awhile and was not disapointed in purchase at all. I bought mainly to work my telescope and its programs, cameras. So far amazing. Greta buy Love my New purchase.

I’ve had the machine for a little over a week and find that I like the machine quite a bit The keyboard has a nice feel. What I don’t like is how the power cable is attached It is hard to remove when you want to take the computer. Also, only two USB-C ports is inconvenient.
Mozell Davis (verified owner) –
We needed to replace our old laptop (intel version that was necessary for work) and was NOT interested in anything other than an Apple product. Did some research and decided to go with Apple’s new chip in a MacBook Air. Love this thing. Quick, easy and runs everything I use. That includes Office suite, and Adobe suite. Great addition to our Mac family.

As usual, my product from B&H was received as advertised, in great shape and on time. Customer service assisted me in my order. They were very courteous and knowledgeable which helps when you are tech-challenged, as I am.
Jaiden Wunsch (verified owner) –
The battery life is incredible and the speed is ridiculous (even the base model). This is leaps and bounds better than any other laptop on the market it feels like its from the future. The only cons are the webcam which Apple should have updated in the age of zoom. It’d be nice to have a USB-C on both sides as well. My guess is the next design will fix both these issues.

It’s the best laptop I ever had. Everything I throw at it, It handles it without any hitch. I got the best price for it since I have a Payboo card.

We use these new M1s for my DJ business and buy one ever chance we get. They are dependable and fast, perfect for live events. Thank you B&H.

There is no point writing a review about this computer. Everyone knows what it is. But I would say that buying from BandH was much easier than apple store. It was shipped the same day and I received it in the evening. I also saved a $97 more with the payboo card.

This macbook Air is everything I hoped it would be. It’s super fast, the battery life is insane, and the display is super crisp. I was planning on using this laptop mostly when hooked to a 4k desktop monitor. But after a couple weeks of use, I now realize that the small 13 inch retina display isn’t as hard on the eyes as I feared. It’s perfectly fine when working 1-2 hours at a time.

When my 5 year old MacBook Air ran out of storage, it was time to replace with another MacBook Air with double the storage. I am completely sold on apple products and this is no exception. Faster, clearer, responsive, intuitive. I’m in love!
Cordelia Tremblay (verified owner) –
Just getting started, but the speed is palpable. The display is phenomenal. The audio, who knew, is like surround sound without additional speakers or headphones. The downside, software updates for the M1 requires patience. If you’re on the fence, go for it.

Great machine. Probably the best apple computer built. However it could use a more modern front display chassis. Additionally the price could use a haircut given the machine has been out for a while.

I bought this Mac because I needed to machine to editing videos, and I don’t regret it.
Bell Legros (verified owner) –
I’m coming from a 2019 16 MacBook Pro, and I also recently bought an M1 Mac mini. The MacBook Air is amazingly fast and it doesn’t heat up like they used to, so it doesn’t get throttled nearly as much. I’m quite amazed how well Lightroom works on it, it’s more fluid than on my old MBP. I also do some motion design and video editing in FCP X, and both work well. The Mac mini is faster for things like exports, but in use it doesn’t feel all that different. The battery life is also quite impressive, which is really what you want from the MBA. So for my purposes for a mobile computer that lasts for a long time, does all the things I need, and doesn’t feel like it’s hamstrung by an underpowered CPU, this is pretty ideal.

So far so good. This laptop has been very good in my day to day school life. My MacBook has been perfect in my Apple Ecosystem. My phone and my watch seamless.

Love my new computer (first time Mac user), plus the shipping and service were great. I had a little hang up with my order. I got in touch with a customer service rep quickly and they resolved the problem (which they wouldn’t have had to) without hesitation and promptly. Completely satisfied all the way around.
Lavon Konopelski (verified owner) –
Does what I need it to do. It is pretty lacking in ports but that is easily handled through the after-market. If this one lasts half as long as the one it replaces I’ll be more than satisfied with it,

This is the best laptop I have ever owned. B&H had fast and free shipping as well.
