Make big things happen. All day long.

Mac Book Air lasts up to an incredible 12 hours between charges. So from your morning coffee till your evening commute, you can work unplugged. When it’s time to kick back and relax, you can get up to 12 hours of iTunes movie playback. And with up to 30 days of standby time, you can go away for weeks and pick up right where you left off.

Thin. Light. Powerful. And ready for anything

Whatever the task, fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processors with Intel HD Graphics 6000 are up to it. From editing photos to browsing the web, everything happens ultra fast. And all that power is encased in an incredibly thin 0.68-inch uni body design that weighs only 2.96 pounds.

802.11ac Wi-Fi. Effortless wireless.

Instantly connect to an 802.11ac base station — including Air Port Extreme or Air Port Time Capsule — and experience wireless performance up to 3x faster than the previous Wi-Fi generation. 802.11ac also delivers expanded range, so you can work more freely than ever.

All systems go with SSD storage.

The SSD storage in Mac Book Air is up to 17x faster than a 5400-rpm notebook hard drive. So everything you do is snappy and responsive. Mac Book Air even wakes up fast, thanks to SSD storage and fifth-generation Intel Core processors.

Mac OS

mac OS is the operating system that powers everything you do on a Mac. mac OS Sierra introduces Siri to Mac — along with more ways to enjoy your photos, shop securely online, and work seamlessly between devices.

Multi-Touch track pad. It goes hand in hand with mac OS.

The Multi-Touch gestures in macOS make everything you do on Mac Book Air more intuitive, direct, and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch track pad is perfectly designed for them, whether it’s a three-finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four-finger pinch to see all your apps in Launchpad. Gesture responses are smooth and realistic. So when you’re scrolling up and down a web page or swiping from one full-screen app to another, it’s almost like you’re touching what you’re seeing.

Back lit keyboard. What you see is what you type.

As incredibly compact as Mac Book Air is, it still manages to fit a full‑size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is back lit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat on a cross‑country red‑eye, you’ll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3. Make some powerful connections.

Connect your Mac Book Air to your devices and displays with a Thunderbolt 2 port that’s twice as fast as the previous generation. But that’s not the whole story. Mac Book Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as well. With just a few connections, Mac Book Air transforms from an ultra portable notebook to a complete workstation.

LED-back lit display. Millions of pixels. Millimeters thin.

Mac Book Air gives you 1440-by-900-pixel resolution on a display that measures a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin. And LED back lighting makes colors bright and vibrant from edge to edge. So whether you’re editing photos, perfecting a presentation, or watching a movie, you’re going to love what you see.
