The new SSD also delivers 2x faster read/write performance compared to the previous generation, allowing for creators to import large photo libraries and students to run AI workloads faster than ever.
13.6" Liquid Retina Display
The MacBook Air features the 13.6" Liquid Retina Display, with support for one billion colors. The 2560 x 1664 resolution provides crisp text. The 500-nit brightness and wide P3 color gamut ensure that photos and movies are brilliant and vivid, complete with rich contrast and sharp detail. With True Tone technology, the display delivers a more natural viewing experience for design and editing workflows as well as everyday tasks like browsing the web and writing emails.

Sound clear and crisp with the three-mic array for enhanced voice clarity. Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos brings an immersive sound system when listening to music or watching movies, creating a three-dimensional soundstage.
Thunderbolt 4 & MagSafe 3
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.
