Providing both portability and performance, the Space Gray Apple 13.3" MacBook Air with Retina Display houses a 1.1 GHz 10th Gen Intel Core i3 Dual-Core processor, which can be boosted up to 3.2 GHz, and 8GB of 3733 MHz LPDDR4X RAM in its trademark thin and light unibody wedge design made from 100% recycled aluminum. For faster boot times and app launches, the MacBook Air utilizes a 256GB PCIe SSD. With over 4 million pixels, the 13.3" Retina Display features a 2560 x 1600 screen resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio for 227 pixels per inch (ppi).

This is because there are dual Thunderbolt 3 ports with DisplayPort support, allowing you to output up to a single 6K external display.

The MacBook Air now also features the Force Touch Trackpad and the Magic Keyboard with a redesigned scissor mechanism, providing 1mm of key travel, and the inverted-"T" arrangement of the arrow keys, resulting in a comfortable yet accurate typing experience. The Touch ID sensor lets you quickly unlock your MacBook Air with just your fingerprint. You can also use Touch ID to make purchases over the web, thanks to Apple Pay. Touch ID works with the Apple T2 chip, providing on-the-fly data encryption for everything stored on the SSD as well as "Hey Siri" functionality. Since the MacBook Air makes it easy to travel with, you'll be using it in a variety of environments with different lighting conditions. The backlit Magic Keyboard has an ambient light sensor so it adjusts to your environment, conserving battery life. Speaking of battery life, the MacBook Air provides up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 30 days of standby time, thanks to its built-in 49.9Wh lithium-polymer battery. When it's time to recharge, you can plug in the 30W power adapter into its Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) port. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and use Bluetooth 5.0 to connect peripherals and accessories wirelessly.

This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple's website for upgrade eligibility.

Does it support all types of software?? Is it good for engineering students??? Should we buy every software from the apple store like arudino, raspberry pi etc..
Asked by: Hemanth kumar
The computer can support any type of software as long as it satisfies the system requirements. It's a basic computer so it may not be good for an engineering student. You may need to consider a Mac with a dedicated graphics card like the 16" MacBook Pro computers. If the software you are looking for is available on Apple's app store, you can purchase the software from there. Otherwise you can purchase/install software directly from the manufacturer's website.

I am considering switching from Windows OS to Mac ...

I am considering switching from Windows OS to Mac OS, what is B&H return policy on the Macbook Air if Mac OS does not work out for me?
Asked by: Gregory
Gregory, I got my first Mac (iMac) 4 years ago (still running strong). Here are some things in hindsight: - I found a majority of my issues were in Finder, which I still find somewhat lacking as a file manager. Pressing 'Enter' on a highlighted file is a RENAME, so be careful! - Learn the difference between 'Close' and 'Quit'. TIP: Always QUIT your browser. - I got a few good tips from the Missing Manual from O'Reilly books. Check out the one for MacOS Catalina. - I use LibreOffice just as I did in Windows and it works well on my iMac and my 2017 MacBook Air (non-Retina). Overall I like MacOS, but, like any OS, it didn't drop straight from heaven! :-) I have had the Mail app refuse to quit and MacOS won't shut down in that case, so I had to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to do a hard shut down. It's rare but does happen (but not nearly as often as Windows). Good luck!

Yes, it's on the right side. I know, they don't show you an image of that side here at B&H, but if you use the 360-degree view and spin it around you can see it.
