5th Generation Broadwell Intel Core Processors

MacBook Air is powered by the fifth-generation Broadwell Intel Core i5 processor. This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. This means not only can you do whatever you want - you can keep doing it for longer than before. In addition, the new Intel HD Graphics 6000 provides performance you'll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks

802.11ac Wi-Fi: Three Times Faster

MacBook Air now supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station - including the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule - wireless performance is up to 3x faster than with previous generations of the MacBook Air with 802.11n. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones

A Display of Excellence

Corner to corner and pixel by pixel, the MacBook Air display is both an engineering feat and a design breakthrough. The display measures a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin, yet its resolution makes you feel like you're looking at a larger screen. The 13.3" MacBook Air features a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. And LED backlighting makes colors bright and vibrant from edge to edge

720p FaceTime HD Camera

Let your friends and family see more of you with the 720p FaceTime HD camera. And the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd around the display

Dual Mics

The dual microphones in MacBook Air are great for when you want to be heard. If you're 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

Multi-Touch Trackpad

The Multi-Touch gestures in Mac OS X make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct, and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether it's 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

Dual-Core 5th-Gen Broadwell Intel Core i5 Performance

Fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processors - based on 14 nm technology - give MacBook Air the power you need to finish the task at hand. The dual-core 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor can be overclocked up to 3.2 GHz, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. In addition, the Broadwell chips are much more power efficient, which means you're able to do all the things you love to do on a computer for longer than ever - up to 12 hours between battery charges. And with the Intel HD Graphics 6000, you get faster graphics performance

Fast Flash Storage

Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it's designed entirely around flash storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data. The flash storage is up to 9x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive

Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0

With the lightning-fast Thunderbolt 2 port, you can connect your MacBook Air to the latest devices and displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3.0 ports so you can connect the latest USB 3.0 devices and all your USB 2.0 devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a complete workstation

Fast Memory

MacBook Air features 8GB of superfast, power-efficient 1600 MHz LPDDR3 memory. Combine that with powerful processors and faster flash storage and you get a notebook that can run more memory-intensive applications at the same time - without compromising performance
