Why 4K Wallpapers Are Perfect for MacBook Air

  • Configurable GPU with up to 10 cores for enhanced visuals.
  • Hardware-accelerated ray tracing for smooth graphics.

  • 13.6-inch or 15-inch Liquid Retina Display, supporting 1 billion colors and 500 nits of brightness.

Portability Meets Power:

Battery Life:

  • Up to 18 hours of battery life ensures all-day use.

Finishes:

  • Available in SilverStarlightSpace Grey, and Midnight.

Starting at just US$1,099 for the M3 MacBook Air, or $999 for the M2 MacBook Air, Apple proves that ultra-thin doesn’t mean compromise.
