Up to 9x faster.⁵ Even for a 16-core Neural Engine, that’s a lot to process.
Apps on MacBook Air can use machine learning (ML) to automatically retouch photos like a pro, make smart tools such as magic wands and audio filters more accurate at auto-detection, and so much more. That’s not just brain power — that’s the power of a full stack of ML technologies.
The power of
macOS Big Sur
on M1.
Developed to unlock the potential of the Apple M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more. Powerful updates for apps. A beautiful new design. Industry-leading privacy features and best-in-class security. It’s Apple’s most powerful software ever — running on Apple’s most advanced hardware yet.
Speed and responsiveness
The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. Mac mini wakes almost instantly from sleep. Everyday things like flipping through photos and browsing Safari are faster. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.

Retina display
ifelike colors for unreal beauty.
Images take on new levels of detail and realism on the brilliant 13.3-inch, 2560-by-1600-resolution Retina display.⁸ Text is sharp and clear. Colors are more vibrant than ever. And the glass goes right to the edge of the enclosure, so nothing takes away from your gorgeous view.
Camera and mics
You’re live on the Air.
The image signal processor of the Apple M1 chip helps you look your best for every FaceTime call and video conference. Three built-in microphones make sure that what you say gets heard whether you’re on a call, dictating a note, or recording a Voice Memo.
Magic Keyboard
Go ahead. Take the keys.
When a keyboard types like a dream and still does a whole lot more: that’s magic. With new preprogrammed shortcuts, useful features are even easier to access. Switch keyboard languages, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight, quickly mute notifications with Do Not Disturb — there’s so much you can do with just a tap. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor help you type in low-light settings.
