MacBook Air

Might takes flight.




At-a-glance


  • 512GB of storage and 16GB of unified memory. Superfast straight out of the box

  • A powerful platform for AI. And Apple Intelligence is built right in. Now that’s smart

  • AI in the fast lane. MacBook Air delivers blazing-fast AI performance thanks to the powerful combination of the M5 chip’s GPU, Neural Engine and unified memory. With a Neural Accelerator built into each GPU core, AI tasks run even more efficiently. From AI image upscaling to running the latest large language models, you’ll be more productive and creative than ever.

    Multitasker. Multifaster. The M5 chip brings even more speed and fluidity to everything you do, like seamless switching between loads of apps and tabs, editing 4K video, or playing immersive games like InZOI. All with a silent, fanless design.

  • Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With ground­breaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.

  • For everyone from students to small business owners to creative professionals, MacBook Air with M5 is designed to leverage AI in everyday workflows while preserving your privacy. Whether using powerful Apple Intelligence features across apps and macOS, running LLMs on your Mac, or vibe coding, you’ll stay productive — and protected.

  • Mac and iPhone are incredible on their own. But when you use them together, they work wonders. Thanks to Continuity features, you can move seamlessly across devices to share files and photos, hand off tasks, and even control your iPhone from your Mac.

  • MacBook Air is remarkably light at just 1.23 kilos and only 11.3 mm thin. It’s designed to fit easily into your bag, so you can always take it with you. It’s also made with over 50 per cent recycled materials and has a durable recycled aluminium enclosure built to withstand daily use.

  • macOS is designed to support the way you work, create and connect, with powerful apps and seamless multitasking.

  • macOS Tahoe features a stunning new design with Liquid Glass, intuitive productivity tools, and a reimagined Spotlight. Fast just flows

  • The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air supports 1 billion colours and delivers absolutely stunning resolution. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears super-crisp.

  • The M5 chip isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a game changer, delivering phenomenal performance. Prepare for liftoff

  • The MagSafe charging cable attaches and detaches magnetically in case anyone trips over it. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports let you connect high-speed accessories and charge your Mac. The headphone jack supports high-impedance headphones. And the Apple N1 wireless chip provides Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, improving performance and reliability.

  • Touch ID on the Magic Keyboard gives you a fast, easy and secure way to unlock your Mac, sign in to accounts and authorise payments for purchases. And built-in, industry-leading encryption, robust virus protections, and free, automatic security updates help keep your data safe.

  • Up to 18 hours of battery life. Won’t call it a day until you do

  • With powerful Continuity features, all your Apple devices work together seamlessly, so you can get things done faster and more efficiently
