Thanks to compact all-flash storage in MacBook Air, theres plenty of room for a big battery.
Working together with the power-efficient fifth-generation Intel Core architecture, this battery
can post some impressive numbers. MacBook Air gets up to 12 hours of battery life on a
single charge. That gives you all-day power for surfing the web or watching iTunes movies.
Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to conserve
battery life for up to 30 days.1
MacBook Air is powered by fifth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. This ultra-efficient
architecture was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. Which means
not only can you do whatever you want you can keep doing it for longer than before. In
addition, the Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor offers advanced performance youll especially
notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.
MacBook Air supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base
station including AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule wireless performance
is up to three times faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi.2 And your Wi-Fi range improves as well.
With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices
like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, youre totally connected.
Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that its designed entirely around flash storage.
Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it
also provides faster access to data. Available in capacities up to 512GB,3 this PCIe-based flash
storage is up to 17 times faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive.4 So when you flip
open MacBook Air, its ready to go right away. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.
Connect your MacBook Air to your devices and displays with a Thunderbolt 2 port thats twice as
fast as the previous generation. But thats not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped
with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as
well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a
complete workstation.
The Multi-Touch gestures in macOS make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct,
and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether its a
three-finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four-finger pinch to see all your apps in
Launchpad. Gesture responses are smooth and realistic. So when youre scrolling up and
down a web page or swiping from one full-screen app to another, its almost like youre
touching what youre seeing.
As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full‑size keyboard that makes
typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in
even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and
adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat
on a long-haul flight, youll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts,
documents, and more from whatever device youre on. So if you take a picture with your
iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure
everything appears on your Mac, too. And it works both ways create a to-do list on
your Mac and you can make edits to it on your iPhone.5
