About this Mac
Released alongside the M1 Macbook Pro, this is the most powerful Macbook Air model that features the new energy-efficient Apple M1 processor. The new Apple processor was designed and built in-house and is only featured on the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro line-ups.
The M1 processor has a clock speed of 3.2 GHz and is substantially more energy efficient than its MacBook Air Intel counterparts, allowing for up to 18 hours of use with the same battery capacity as previous models. Due to the new processor, this device does not support Windows emulation.
It does however feature an integrated 8-Core GPU which shares 8 GB of memory with the system through a Unified integration. The rest of the Macbook Air specifications match previous models with a 256 GB entry-level storage option and only 2 USB 3.1 ports.
The operating system of the MacBook Air can be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 up to the current macOS. The dimensions of this device are .16-0.63 in x 11.97 in x 8.36 in and an average weight of 2.8 lbs (1.29 kg).
