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.

In my searching for a good deal, I found B & H to have the best prices, support and service out there. I bought this MacBook Air for my wife as a gift and it came in clutch for her and the product she’s working on.

Highly recommend B&H!!! Decided to go with the Mac Book AIR over the PRO due to the great reviews and information, quick service, and the great price! Would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!!!

The new MacBook Air is everything one would want to have in a laptop computer. The form factor is spot on and the trackpad is one of the best I have ever experienced. However, all things are not perfect. I have two things that I would like to see improved. I would like to see at least one other USB-C port. I would also like to see the return of the MagSafe charging system. Otherwise, I find it to be the near perfect laptop.

My Son is very happy with his new laptop. It has all the right stuff on it and works perfect. He says the M1 chip is very impressive and will help him handle his work better. Has so many interesting new features. Currently he is explaining it all to me. Think I should also purchase a similar model to replace my old Laptop. This one works pretty great and has INCREDIBLE colors! Thank you so much B&H

The performance of the new M1 processor so far seems to be pretty good (used it for only a couple of days). What I don’t like is only 2 ports on it. Also, there is no way to disable AutoBoot on open lid feature. You used to be able to do that with older MacBooks, but not this one. You would expect that features are supposed to be added with time, not taken away, but oh well…..

Prior to getting this computer, I had a 2020 non-M1 Air, which I spilled coffee on. I was in a conundrum whether to spend up to $700 to fix that one, or upgrade to the M1, and I am SO GLAD I spent a little more to upgrade! The battery life is stellar, it’s silent, and doesn’t get hot (which was one of my biggest complaints with my non-M1 Air). I usually have about a bazillion windows and programs open, and it makes no complaints. Seriously worth the upgrade!

Compared to a 2019 model, there is a noticeable difference in response. Overall you can’t go wrong with Apple computers. The touch ID definitely is a big convenience compared to previous models.
Mollie Erdman (verified owner) –
No real negatives about this machine other than when it’s closed & plugged in there’s no charging light to show it is indeed charging. May seem like a small thing, but I miss this feature from my old MacBook Air.

This totally changed my workflow for photoshoots. I used to edit on a Windows desktop that operated Lightroom Classic painfully slowly. With the MacBook I can shoot hundreds of large RAW files tethered and they’re ready to go when it’s time to edit. Additionally, Lightroom and Photoshop run way faster on the new apple silicon. It’s made everything I do so much easier and faster.

I prefer using a Mac but I also have a PC because not everything can be done on a Mac which is unfortunate. That is why no five stars.
