Description
Power doesn't take up space. The Apple M1 chip redefines our thinnest, lightest notebook. The CPU is up to 3.5 times more powerful. Graphics up to five times faster. An even more advanced Neural Engine delivers up to nine times the speed of machine learning. And it has the longest battery life in a MacBook Air and a fanless design that makes it ultra quiet. Discover unprecedented talent that's ready to follow you anywhere. Power on a chip. It's here. Our first chip designed specifically for the Mac. The Apple M1 is a system-on-chip (SoC) that packs 16 billion transistors and integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a tiny design. With top performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading efficiency, the M1 isn't just a new step for the Mac. It's a before and after in Mac history. Not battery-hungry. The M1 chip packs the fastest CPU we've ever developed. With that kind of power in its chambers, MacBook Air is ready for demanding tasks like professional-quality video editing and epic gameplay. And that's just the beginning. The M1 chip's eight-core CPU balances high-performance cores and efficiency cores, which handle everyday tasks, to consume only a tenth of the power of the previous generation by up to 3.5 times the speed of the previous generation,2 so it consumes only a tenth of the power. That's nothing. The power of macOS Big Sur with the M1 chip. macOS Big Sur was developed to harness the power of the M1 chip and transform your Mac. The result? Superior performance, app enhancements, a stunning new design, and industry-leading privacy and security features. It's our most powerful software yet, and it matches our most advanced hardware. Colors so true to life, you won't believe it. The 2560-by-1600-pixel resolution of the 13.3-inch Retina display delivers stunning detail and realism. Text is crystal clear, colors pop, and the glass extends to the edge of the enclosure so nothing distracts you. True Tone technology. Enjoy the view. Give your eyes a rest. MacBook Air automatically adjusts the white point of the display based on ambient color temperature, so it's more comfortable to look at. Camera and microphones Bring out your best self. The M1 chip has our most advanced image signal processor, so you'll always look great on FaceTime video calls. Whether you're on a call, dictating a note, or asking Siri what the weather's like. A keyboard with a capital A. Enjoy absolute comfort from A-Z. In addition to typing at your leisure, the preprogrammed shortcuts on this keyboard give you instant access to the features you use most. Talk to Siri, change the keyboard language, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight - you can't even imagine what you can do with a tap. And the ambient light-sensing backlight lets you type even when you're half in the dark. Touch ID. One touch locks and unlocks MacBook Air. Your fingerprint lets you rent a movie, buy an app, or access protected documents and system settings without typing your password. And when you use Apple Pay to shop online, Touch ID adds your address and billing information without sharing your credit card number.
