What type of charging port does it use?

What is the warranty period?

Troubleshooting

Device will not power on

Ensure the MagSafe 3 charging cable is securely connected to both the MacBook Air and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If using a USB-C hub or dock, try charging directly with the MagSafe cable. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.

Slow performance or app unresponsiveness

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the MacBook Air. Check for macOS updates. If the problem is specific to one app, try reinstalling it. For sustained performance issues, consider if the workload exceeds the thermal capacity of the fanless design.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity issues

Toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and then on again. Restart the MacBook Air. Reset the network settings by navigating to System Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Ensure you are within range of your router.

Display appears dim or shows incorrect colors

Check the display brightness settings in System Settings. Ensure True Tone is enabled or disabled as preferred. If colors appear off, recalibrate the display through System Settings > Displays > Color Profile. Restarting the device can also resolve temporary display glitches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Upon unboxing, connect the MagSafe 3 charging cable to the MacBook Air and a compatible power adapter. Power on the device and follow the on-screen prompts to set up macOS Tahoe, including connecting to Wi-Fi, signing in with your Apple ID, and configuring basic settings. The included USB Type-C to MagSafe 3 cable is essential for charging.

Compatibility: This MacBook Air runs on macOS Tahoe, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of Mac applications available through the App Store or directly from developers. It supports connection to up to two external displays via Thunderbolt 4 ports. Ensure any external peripherals, such as monitors, docks, or storage devices, utilize Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, or adapters compatible with these standards.

Care: To maintain the sleek silver finish, use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the device away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. For the display, use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Regularly clean the keyboard and trackpad to prevent debris buildup. Ensure the charging port remains free of dust and debris.
