The Apple MacBook Air was one of the first Apple Macs to use Apple silicon, offering dramatically better efficiency and battery longevity in a small, without-fan design. The Apple MacBook Air, announced in November of 2020, is already more than a year old, with a new generation coming in 2022.

In recent years, Apple has haphazardly upgraded the MacBook Air, introducing two new versions in 2020 and with no apparent pattern preceding that, despite the device being updated every year since 2017. Now that Apple controls its own proprietary circuitry for the MacBook Air rather than relying on Intel CPUs, it is probable that the Apple MacBook Air will get more frequent upgrades in the coming years.

While the Apple MacBook Air appears to be the grandest Apple laptop in terms of mobility and pricing, consumers looking for somewhat more outstanding performance and battery life, as well as the Touch Bar, might choose the M1 MacBook Pro. For obvious reasons, the MacBook Air price in Malaysia for the latter rendition is more.

The M1 MacBook Air – The future is here!

Towards the end of 2020, November 2020 to be specific, Apple upgraded the MacBook Air series by adding the cutting-edge edge M1 chipset. The M1 chip is Apple’s trademark, and the MacBook Air was the first device ever to benefit from this upgrade. The M1 chip replaced its predecessor, Intel chips, to vouch for a proliferated speed and efficiency enhancement. As can be expected, this upgrade came at a higher MacBook Air price.

By adding the M1 chip to the MacBook Air’s CPU, Apple made sure that the new Apple MacBook Air functions with enhanced efficiency at incredible speeds. The M1 chip features a CPU made of 8 powerful cores (4 high-efficiency cores and four high-performance cores). This makes the CPU 350% faster than the previous version of the Apple MacBook Air.

The Apple MacBook Air 13 inch display effortlessly bags a resolution of 2560×1600, which is pretty great compared to the previous version due to the additional P3 Wide Color support. The P3 wide color support accounts for MacBook Air 13 inch version’s neatly vivid colors and high definition. It supports up to 400 nits of brightness and True Tone to adapt the screen’s color temperature to the ambient illumination for a more realistic and genuine viewing getaway.

The Apple MacBook Air packs an integrated GPU that can have up to 8 robust cores, making the device’s graphic processing unit 500% faster than its predecessor.

The Apple MacBook Air’s RAM has a maximum capacity of 16GB and is built directly into the M1 chip for a unified main memory that improves productivity and effectiveness. There are variants available with lower RAMS, and the MacBook Air price depends on the specifications of the device you’re getting. Furthermore, the battery life on the MacBook Air has been dramatically enhanced, with up to 15 hours of online surfing and up to 18 hours of movie streaming.

Apple’s M1 MacBook Air has the same 720p FaceTime HD camera as the previous model. Still, Apple claims the M1 enhances image resolution with enhanced noise removal, contrast ratio, as well as other capabilities. The M1 MacBook Air, like the previous generation, includes a Magic Keyboard with a revised scissor mechanism that is more dependable than the previous butterfly technology.

Additional features of the Apple MacBook Air include Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 6, a 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers and wide stereo sound support, and two thunderbolt 3/USB 4 ports.
