Faster Everyday Performance
Offering quad-core processors for the first time, MacBook Air now delivers more speed for activities from organizing photos and creating presentations to editing videos. MacBook Air features the latest 10th-generation Intel Core processors up to 1.2GHz quad-core Core i7 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.8GHz.
New Magic Keyboard
MacBook Air also now features the new Magic Keyboard, first introduced on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. A redesigned scissor mechanism delivers 1mm of key travel for a comfortable and stable key feel, while the new inverted “T” arrangement for the arrow keys makes them easier to find without looking down. A stunning unibody wedge design made from 100 percent recycled aluminum and comes in three finishes — gold, silver and space gray. The 13-inch Retina display delivers over 4 million pixels and millions of colors, so whether you are reading an email, enjoying a movie or editing photos, text is razor sharp and images are more true to life.
Double the Storage
MacBook Air now starts with 256GB of storage, double that of the previous generations. And for those who need more storage capacity, MacBook Air offers up to a 2TB SSD, double the previous maximum storage.
Built-in Security and Privacy
MacBook Air comes with the Apple T2 Security Chip, Apple’s own custom-designed second-generation silicon, which checks that software loaded during the boot process has not been tampered with and provides on-the-fly data encryption for everything stored on the SSD. This allows MacBook Air and any Mac with the T2 chip to deliver a secure boot process. The T2 also protects Touch ID information, so whether you are unlocking the Mac, entering an online password or making online purchases, information remains safe.
