What is included in the box?

The MacBook Air comes with a USB Type-C to MagSafe 3 Cable. An AC adapter is not included, and you will need to use a compatible USB-C power adapter (minimum 30W required, 72W recommended).

What operating system does this MacBook Air run?

How many external displays can this MacBook Air support?

Troubleshooting

MacBook Air won't turn on

Ensure the MagSafe 3 charger is securely connected to the laptop and a power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to attempt a force restart.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Restart your Wi-Fi router and modem. Ensure your MacBook Air is within range of the router. Check if Wi-Fi 7 is supported by your router; if not, try connecting via a different Wi-Fi standard or a wired connection using a Thunderbolt 4 adapter.

Applications are running slowly

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Check `Activity Monitor` in `Utilities` for resource-heavy processes. Ensure macOS and all applications are updated to their latest versions. Restart the MacBook Air.

Touch ID is not responding

Clean the Touch ID sensor and your finger. Ensure the sensor is free from obstructions. Go to `System Settings` > `Touch ID & Password` to re-register your fingerprint or add a new one.

External display is not detected

Verify the display cable is securely connected to both the MacBook Air's Thunderbolt 4 port and the display. Ensure the display is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different Thunderbolt 4 cable or adapter. Check `System Settings` > `Displays`.
