Product Overview

The Apple MacBook Air M5 Silver 512GB MDH74X/A brings blazing-fast speed and powerful AI capabilities into an incredibly portable design. 

With a faster CPU and unified memory, M5 delivers even more performance and fluidity across apps, making multitasking and creative workflows smooth and responsive. A powerful Neural Engine and next-generation GPU with Neural Accelerators make an impressive platform for AI. Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives peace of mind that no-one else can access your data — not even Apple(1).

MacBook Air delivers an incredible up to 18 hours of battery life(2) with amazing performance, to power through a full day of work or class without worrying about plugging in. The 13.6 inch Liquid Retina display(3) supports 1 billion colours - photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail while text appears incredibly crisp. Automatically stay in frame during video calls with the 12MP Centre Stage camera, or share a top-down view of your workspace with Desk View. With a three-mic array and four-speaker sound system supporting Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos, everything sounds great.

MacBook Air features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging port and a headphone jack — as well as the Apple N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7(4) and Bluetooth v6. It supports up to two simultaneous external displays as well as its own. Apps run lightning-fast in macOS including built-in apps like FaceTime and Messages(5). Built-in virus protection and free software updates help keep Mac running smoothly and securely.

Mac works like magic with other Apple devices. View and control what’s on an iPhone from a Mac with iPhone Mirroring(6). Copy something on iPhone and paste it on Mac. Send texts with Messages from your Mac, or use your Mac to answer FaceTime calls(5).

Disclaimers: (1) Apple Intelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. (2) All systems tested with display brightness set to eight clicks from the bottom and keyboard backlight off. Battery life varies by use and configuration. (3) Screen size is measured diagonally. The display on the 13-inch MacBook Air has rounded corners at the top. Actual viewable area is less. (4) Wi‑Fi 7 available in supported countries and regions. (5) FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime‑enabled device for the caller and recipient, and a Wi‑Fi connection. (6) Some iPhone features (such as camera and microphone, AirPlay or Sidecar) are not compatible with iPhone Mirroring.
