To provide the most secure storage and boot processes of any notebook, the MacBook Air is equipped with the Apple T2 Security Chip, which protects Touch ID information via data encryption. Plus, T2 comprises of an always-on processor that activates “Hey Siri,” letting you make requests to Siri with just your voice for tasks such as finding files or opening an app.

In addition, the MacBook Air offers SSDs up to 1.5TB in capacity, which is up to 60% quicker than earlier generations, and makes launching apps and opening files feel more responsive.

All these amazing specs are ensconced in a new, distinct wedge-shaped design, which is extremely compact and portable, while providing up to 12 hours of battery life and up to 13 hours of iTunes movie playback. Moreover, the enclosure of the new MacBook Air is composed of a custom aluminium alloy, which features 100% recycled materials.
