Giant leap in performance and twice the battery life in a winning form with no real downsides
The MacBook Air is the first of two new laptops with Apple’s first-of-its-kind, own-brand M1 processor, which makes for a giant leap in performance and battery life.
The MacBook Air with M1 chip starts at £999 and is Apple’s entry-level laptop, sitting below the MacBook Pro with M1 that starts at £1,299. Alongside the new Mac mini, they are the first models in Apple’s wholesale transition away from traditional Intel x86 processors to Apple’s Arm-based chips similar to those used in iPhones and iPads.
