Display and Camera

Display, camera and mics.

Impressive. In every sense.

Make FaceTime calls from your MacBook Air to an iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch or another Mac running FaceTime for Mac.

LED-backlit display. Millions of pixels. Millimetres thin.

MacBook Air gives you 1440x900 pixel resolution on a display that measures a mere 4.86 millimetres thin. And LED backlighting makes colours bright and vibrant from edge to edge. So whether youre editing photos, perfecting a presentation or watching a movie, youre going to love what you see.

FaceTime HD camera. Stay sharp.

Let your friends and family see more of you with the 720p FaceTime HD camera. Every smile looks bright, even halfway round the world. And the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd round the display.

Dual mics. Theyll hear you loud and clear.

The dual microphones in MacBook Air are great for when you want to be heard. If youre making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice - instead of the noise around you.

Multi-Touch Trackpad

It goes hand in hand with macOS.

The Multi-Touch gestures in macOS make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether its a three-finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four-finger pinch to see all your apps in Launchpad. Gesture responses are smooth and realistic. So when youre scrolling up and down a web page or swiping from one full-screen app to another, its almost like youre touching what youre seeing.

	Click Press down anywhere to click. Or with Tap to Click enabled, tap the trackpad.
	Double-click Press down two times anywhere. Or with Tap to Click enabled, double-tap the trackpad.
	Tap to zoom Double-tap the trackpad with two fingers to magnify a web page or PDF.
	Two-finger scroll Slide two fingers up or down the trackpad to scroll through documents, websites and more.
	Swipe to navigate Flip through web pages, documents and more like thumbing pages in a book.
	View Mission Control Swipe up on the trackpad to get a birds-eye view of everything running on your Mac.

Backlit keyboard.

What you see is what you type.

As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full-sized keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny caf to a seat on an overnight flight, youll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

A pair of stereo speakers is hidden within the unibody enclosure.

iCloud.

Your content. On all your devices.

iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents and more from whatever device youre on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac too. And it works both ways - create a to-do list on your Mac and you can make edits to it on your iPhone.

macOS

Its why theres nothing elselikeaMac.

macOS is the operating system that powers every Mac. It lets you do things you simply cant with other computers. Thats because its designed specifically for the hardware it runs on - and vice versa. So your Mac works like magic with your iPhone and other Apple devices. And it works hand in hand with iCloud to keep photos, documents and other stuff up to date on those devices. macOS also comes with an entire suite of beautifully designed apps. And its been built from the ground up with privacy and security in mind.

Easy to Use

When its simple to do everything, you can do anything.

On a Mac, everything is designed to work just the way you expect it to - from operating it with simple, intuitive gestures to having your apps automatically update themselves. Whatever you set out to do on a Mac, theres much less to learn and that much more to accomplish.

Finder

The Finder lets you easily browse and organise the files on your Mac and the ones stored in iCloud Drive.

Notifications

A simple two-finger swipe brings up Notification Centre - the same one you use on iPhone - where you can see all the alerts that have come in recently. Its also where youll find your Today view, which you can customise with helpful widgets or handy information pinned from Safari.

Continuity

All your devices. One seamless experience.

Your Mac works with your other Apple devices in ways no other computer can. If you get a call on your iPhone, you can take it on your Mac. And you can copy images, videos and text from your iPhone, then paste to your nearby Mac - or vice versa. You can even unlock your Mac just by walking up to it wearing your Apple Watch.

Universal Clipboard.

Copy images, videos or text from an app on your iPhone. Then paste into another app on your nearby Mac. And of course, it works the other way around too - so you can browse a recipe on your Mac and paste the ingredients directly to the grocery list on your iPhone.

Auto Unlock.

Automatically log in to your Mac when youre wearing your Apple Watch. No password typing required.

Calls and Messages.

Make and receive phone calls on your iPhone - without picking up your iPhone. When a call comes in, just click Accept on your Mac. When you want to make a call on your Mac, just click the number. Your Mac is a whiz with messages too. All the texts and iMessages that appear on your iPhone also appear on your Mac.

Handoff.

When your Mac and iOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass whatever youre doing from one device to another. So you can start writing an email on a Mac and take it with you to your meeting on your iPhone.

AirDrop.

With just a few clicks on your Mac, you can use AirDrop to quickly transfer any file from any folder and send it to a nearby Mac or iOS device, and vice versa. Even when theres no Wi-Fi network available.

Instant Hotspot.

No Wi-Fi? No problem. With Instant Hotspot, your Mac can remotely activate the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone when theyre near each other.

Built-in Apps

Apps as powerful and elegant as your Mac. Because theyre designed for it.

With every Mac, you get a collection of powerful apps. Theyre the same apps you use on your iPhone or iPad, so theyll feel instantly familiar. They all work with iCloud, so your schedule, contacts and notes are always up to date everywhere. And because theyre native apps - not web apps in a browser - they take full advantage of the power of your Mac to deliver the fastest possible performance and more robust features.
