Because of the new M1 chip architecture, the Air can even run iOS apps. Other features include a 13.3-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS Retina display, a revised ‘scissor’ keyboard design, Touch ID and Apple’s latest Big Sur operating system. It has to be done at the point of manufacture and sale. This is the only chance you’ll get, since MacBook Airs are not user-upgradable. You can configure your MacBook Air at purchase to have more RAM (up to 16GB) or more storage (up to a 2TB SSD). Unlikely as that sounds, it’s the only answer we have right now. If you want an 8-core GPU you have to pay a little more.Ī 7-core CPU? That’s an odd number, surely? The only explanation we’ve seen is that Apple is using slightly less than perfect M1 chips off the production line with, effectively, one core not working, to produce a perfectly effective and functioning – but slightly cheaper – entry model. That price, however, is for a machine with an 8-core CPU but a 7-core GPU (graphics processing unit). The base model MacBook Air M1 creeps in just below the $1,000/£1,000 barrier, which is very impressive for a computer with these specifications, design quality and performance.
