APPLE MacBook Air, M1, 8GB, 256GB, 13 inch, Touch ID, Gold - eXtra Bahrain

Power. It’s in the Air

Apple’s thinnest, lightest notebook, completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip. CPU speeds up to 3.5x faster. GPU speeds up to 5x faster. Apple’s most advanced Neural Engine for up to 9x faster machine learning. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. And a silent, fanless design. This much power has never been this ready to go.

Small chip. Giant leap

It’s here. Apple’s first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency,¹ M1 is not just a next step for Mac, it’s another level entirely.

8-core CPU Devours tasks. Sips battery

M1 has the fastest CPU Apple has ever made. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing and action-packed gaming. But the 8-core CPU on M1 isn’t just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that can still crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power.

       7- or 8-core GPU, Plays hard. Works wonders

Up to 9x faster. 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.

Biggest collection of apps ever

Run powerful apps built for M1. All your existing apps work thanks to Rosetta 2. And for the first time, you can use your favorite iPhone and iPad apps directly on macOS Big Sur. Altogether you’ll have access to the biggest collection of apps ever for Mac.

Security

The Apple M1 chip and macOS Big Sur give MacBook Air advanced security and privacy features beyond anything in its class, working to help keep your system and data protected.

Retina display Lifelike 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. 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.

                            P3 wide color gamut

A wider palette of colors on display. 25% more colors than sRGB. 

True Tone technology

Good looking. And easy on the eyes. MacBook Air automatically adjusts the white point of your display to the color temperature of your environment for a more natural viewing experience.

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.

FaceTime HD camera

Get clearer, sharper images. See more detail in shadows and highlights. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to adjust white balance and exposure for even more natural-looking skin tones.

    Three-microphone array

Say “Hello” to mics that focus on your voice instead of what’s going on around you.

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.

                              Force Touch trackpad

Precise control with plenty of room to swipe, pinch, or zoom.

Touch ID

One touch is all it takes to lock or unlock MacBook Air. Use your fingerprint to rent a movie, buy an app, or access things like secure documents or system settings without having to reenter your password. And when you shop online with Apple Pay, Touch ID fills in your shipping and billing information without sharing your card details.

Connectivity Charges, chats, streams, works, and plays wellwith others.

Wi-Fi 6

The next generation of Wi-Fi isn’t just faster it keeps MacBook Air going strong even as more and more devices join the network.

Thunderbolt / USB 4

Ultra-high bandwidth meets ultra-versatility. Thunderbolt enables data transfer, charging, and video output all through a single port and MacBook Air has two of them.
