Apple MacBook Air 13" M4 Chip with 10‑Core CPU and 8‑Core GPU, 16 GB, 256 GB SSD - Starlight - English

Built to go places.

Remarkably light and just over a centimeter thin, MacBook Air fits easily into your on-the-go lifestyle — and your bag. MacBook Air with M4 is made with over 50 percent recycled materials and has a durable recycled Aluminum enclosure. Incredibly light and thin, MacBook Air fits easily in your backpack.

M4. The chip that zips.

Apple silicon combines a powerful CPU and GPU, memory, and more on a single chip, making all your apps — from Microsoft 365 Copilot to Adobe Creative Cloud — run faster while requiring less power. The M4 chip in MacBook Air makes graphics and gaming look better than ever. With second-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing, you get more realistic images for truly immersive gaming. And Dynamic Caching drives a huge performance boost for pro apps and games. So everything you do feels less like work and more like play.

Built for Apple Intelligence.

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.

Great powers come with great privacy.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of your Mac through on-device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.

Become well connected.

The MagSafe charging cable attaches and detaches magnetically, preventing any unintended flights. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports let you connect high-speed accessories and charge your Mac. The headphone jack supports high‑impedance headphones. And Wi‑Fi 6E provides up to 2x faster throughput compared with Wi‑Fi 6. Turn MacBook Air into the perfect workspace by connecting up to two external displays. The extra screen space makes working with multiple documents or apps a breeze.

When you move, it moves.

Stay in frame during video calls, even as you move around or when more people join your frame. Share a top-down view of your workspace while staying onscreen — great if you’re tutoring online or showing off your latest project. MacBook Air provides enhanced voice clarity in audio and video calls while minimizing background noise. The speakers on MacBook Air support Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy a three-dimensional soundstage for music and movies.

Hold down the fort with just a finger.

The backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, giving you a fast, easy, and secure way to unlock your Mac, sign in to accounts, and authorize payments for purchases — all at the touch of your finger.
