A New Era with Apple Intelligence on the Mac

Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple Silicon and the Neural Engine to unlock new ways for users to work, communicate, and express themselves on Mac. It is available in U.S. English with macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Apple Intelligence protects users' privacy at every step. At its core, is on-device processing, and for more complex tasks, Private Cloud Compute gives users access to Apple's even larger, server-based models and offers groundbreaking protections for personal information.

Writing Tools

Use Apple Intelligence to proofread your text and rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are just right, and summarize selected text with a click. Or use Compose to tap directly into ChatGPT to create content from scratch.

Image Playground

Create fun, original images based on a description, a concept, or even a person from your Photos library.

Siri

Siri can help you like never before, drawing on your personal context by using the information on your device to help find what you're looking for—like a presentation file shared with you in an email weeks ago. Siri can even tap into ChatGPT to bring answers right to you. No account needed.

12MP Center Stage Camera

The 12MP Center Stage camera helps you look sharp in any light. Center Stage keeps you centered in the frame as you move around.

Desk View lets you share your workspace, adding a whole new dimension to make your video calls more engaging.

Your voice comes through crystal clear on video calls and recordings while minimizing background noise, thanks to the studio-quality, three-mic array.

Thunderbolt 4 combines ultrahigh bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 4 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it's always right side up.

MagSafe 3 makes connecting a power cable quick and easy while also protecting your MacBook Air. Apple also brings fast charging to the MacBook Air, allowing you to charge up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

External Display Support

The MacBook Air can now support up to two 6K @ 60 Hz external displays, in addition to its built-in Liquid Retina Display. The multi-display setup makes it easy to view and interact with content.

A multi-display setup is useful for anyone from business professionals at the office multitasking across multiple windows, to students in a dorm room tackling a big project across several apps.

Keyboard, Force Touch Trackpad, and Touch ID

The Magic Keyboard features a 78-key US layout, including 12 full-height function keys and four arrow keys in an inverted-T arrangement. It is also backlit with an ambient light sensor. Speed your workflow with Force click and multi-touch gestures.

The Touch ID enables fast, easy authentication. Unlock your Mac, sign in to apps, and make secure payments with your fingertip. The Secure Enclave keeps your fingerprint data safe.

Compact Design

The MacBook Air lives up to its name, weighing in at just 3.3 pounds and measuring just 0.45" thin. The MacBook Air is made with over 50% recycled materials, including a durable recycled aluminum enclosure.

The MacBook Air also features a silent, fanless design.
