All systems Pro.

The Apple M1 chip gives the 13-inch MacBook Pro speed and power beyond belief. With up to 2.8x CPU performance. Up to 5x the graphics speed. Apple's most advanced Neural Engine for up to 11x faster machine learning. And up to 20 hours of battery life - the longest of any Mac to date. It's Apple's most popular pro notebook, taken to a whole new level.

Small chip. Giant leap.

It's here. Apple's first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies and industry-leading power efficiency,1 M1 is not just a next step for Mac - it's another level entirely.

Machine learning

16-core Neural Engine.
Smarts, meets speed.

Machine learning (ML) brings task-smashing speed and automation to video analysis, voice recognition, image processing and more. And the M1 chip with 16-core Neural Engine and full stack of technologies takes ML performance on MacBook Pro into the stratosphere.

macOS Big Sur

The power of
macOS Big Sur
on M1.

Developed to unlock the potential of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more. Powerful updates for apps. A beautiful new design. Industry-leading privacy features and best-in-class security. It's Apple's most powerful software ever - running on Apple's most advanced hardware yet.

Speed and responsiveness

The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. MacBook Air wakes instantly from sleep. Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.

Biggest collectoin of apps ever

Run powerful apps built for M1. All your existing apps work thanks to Rosetta 2. And for the first time, you can use your favourite iPhone and iPad apps directly on macOS Big Sur. Altogether you'll have access to the biggest collection of apps ever for Mac.

Thermal efficiency

Active cooling sustains
blazing-fast performance.

All-day battery life

Up to 18 hours of battery life-the longest in any Mac to date.5

Unified memory

Runs a tight chip.

The M1 chip brings up to 16GB of super-fast unified memory. This single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory allows apps to share data between the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine efficiently - so everything you do is fast and fluid.

Retina display

See the better picture.

With the brilliant Retina display, images take on an incredible level of detail and realism. Text is sharp and clear. Bright LED backlighting delivers deep blacks and bright whites. P3 wide colour brings even more vibrant greens and reds than sRGB. And every MacBook Pro features True Tone technology, so the white balance automatically adjusts to match the colour temperature of the light around you - for a more natural viewing experience.

Camera and mics

Be seen. Be heard.

Thanks to M1, the FaceTime HD camera can now take full advantage of Apple's latest image signal processor - improving image quality in video conferences and pulling out more details in both shadows and highlights. And whether you're running a meeting, hosting a podcast or connecting with friends and family, new studio-quality mics will make sure everyone hears you loud and clear.

FaceTime HD camera

The M1 chip even helps you look your best. Highlights in low light come in clearer. Advanced noise reduction makes dark areas sharper. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to better adjust white balance and exposure levels for even more natural-looking skin tones.

Three-mic array

Studio quality. Without the studio. An improved signal-to-noise ratio rivals that of professional-grade microphones.

Magic Keyboard

Just your type.

Magic Keyboard lets you do everything faster and more efficiently. The refined scissor mechanism delivers a responsive, comfortable and quiet typing experience. The Touch Bar puts the commands you need most right where you need them, saving time and keystrokes. And Touch ID provides fast, easy authentication for secure logins.

Scissor mechanism

Every keystroke, throughout or line of code just feels right.

Touch Bar

More shortcuts to success.

Enjoy even more shortcuts features - like favourited emoji, preferred languages and quicker access to Siri.

Touch ID

One touch is all it takes to lock or unlock MacBook Air. Use your fingerprint to rent a movie, buy an app, or access things like secure documents or system settings without having to re-enter your password.
