2020 Apple MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) - Silver
Overview

MacBook Air.
Power. Itβs In The Air.
Our thinnest, lightest notebook, completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip. CPU speeds up to 3.5x faster. GPU speeds up to 5x faster. Our most advanced Neural Engine for up to 9x faster machine learning. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. And a silent, fanless design. This much power has never been this ready to go.
Small Chip. Giant Leap.
Itβs here. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency, M1 is not just a next step for Mac β itβs another level entirely.

8-Core CPU Devours Tasks.
Sips Battery.
M1 has the fastest CPU weβve ever made. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing and action-packed gaming. But the 8βcore CPU on M1 isnβt just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation β it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that can still crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power.

Up To 9x Faster.
Even For A 16βcore Neural Engine, Thatβs A Lot To Process.
Apps on MacBook Air can use machine learning (ML) to automatically retouch photos like a pro, make smart tools such as magic wands and audio filters more accurate at autoβdetection, and so much more. Thatβs not just brain power β thatβs the power of a full stack of ML technologies.

The Power Of MacOS Big Sur On M1.
Developed to unlock the potential of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more. Powerful updates for apps. A beautiful new design. Industry-leading privacy features and bestβinβclass security. Itβs our most powerful software ever β running on our most advanced hardware yet.


Retina Display.
Lifelike Colors For Unreal Beauty.
Images take on new levels of detail and realism on the brilliant 13.3βinch, 2560βbyβ1600-resolution Retina display. Text is sharp and clear. Colors are more vibrant than ever. And the glass goes right to the edge of the enclosure, so nothing takes away from your gorgeous view.

Camera & Mics.
Youβre Live On The Air.
The image signal processor in the M1 chip helps you look your best for every FaceTime call and video conference. Three builtβin microphones make sure what you say gets heard whether youβre on a call, dictating a note, or asking Siri about the weather.

FaceTime HD Camera.
Get clearer, sharper images. See more detail in shadows and highlights. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to adjust white balance and exposure for even more naturalβlooking skin tones.

Three-Microphone Array.
Say βHelloβ to mics that focus on your voice instead of whatβs going on around you.

Magic Keyboard
Go Ahead. Take The Keys.
When a keyboard types like a dream and still does a whole lot more: thatβs magic. With new preprogrammed shortcuts, useful features are even easier to access. Get help from Siri, switch keyboard languages, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight β thereβs so much you can do with just a tap. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor help you type in lowβlight settings.

Scissor Mechanism.
The refined scissor mechanism delivers the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook.

Force Touch Trackpad.
Precise control with plenty of room to swipe, pinch, or zoom.
