Reasons To Buy
Less to carry. More to
Redesigned around the next-generation M2 chip, MacBook Air is strikingly thin and brings exceptional speed and power efficiency within its durable all‑aluminium enclosure. It’s the ultrafast, ultra-capable laptop that lets you work, play or create just about anything — anywhere.
Midnight to Starlight. Four stellar finishes.
MacBook Air comes in four gorgeous finishes — each with its own matching MagSafe charging cable.
Prepare for take-off.
The M2 chip starts the next generation of Apple silicon, with even more of the speed and power efficiency of M1. So you can get more done faster with a more powerful 8‑core CPU. Create captivating images and animations with up to a 10-core GPU. Work with more streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video with the high‑performance media engine. And keep working — or playing — all day and into the night with up to 18 hours of battery life.2
More speed for all your apps.
All your go-to apps run lightning fast in macOS — including Microsoft 365 and many of your favourite iOS apps. And with over 10,000 apps and plug-ins optimised for Apple silicon, your creative future is wide open.
All together now.
Make and receive iPhone calls on your Mac. Use your iPad as a second display. Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. It’s like they were all made for each other. Because they were.
To be clear, it’s gorgeous.
The breathtaking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is the biggest — and brightest — ever on MacBook Air, with support for 1 billion colours. Text is super-crisp, and photos and movies more brilliant and vivid, with rich contrast and sharp detail.
Look sharp. Sound great.
Make your best impression on video calls with the 1080p FaceTime HD camera and three‑mic array. Surround yourself with an expansive soundstage, compliments of the four‑speaker sound system with Spatial Audio. MacBook Air was designed to thrill the senses.
Let your fingers fly.
Comfortable and quiet, Magic Keyboard now has a full‑height function key row for quick access to favourite controls and shortcuts. Touch ID makes it easy to unlock your Mac, enter passwords and make secure purchases or payments — all at the touch of a finger. And with the larger Force Touch trackpad, there’s even more space to work with precision.
