Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your new MacBook Air is straightforward through the macOS migration assistant, which imports data from existing devices. The machine is compatible with all modern Thunderbolt 4 peripherals and supports two external displays. To maintain the device, avoid cleaning the screen with abrasive chemicals; use a clean, dry microfiber cloth instead. Given the 1.51kg weight and thin profile, it is highly recommended to use a padded laptop sleeve when transporting it in a backpack. Ensure you keep the operating system updated to the latest version of macOS Tahoe to benefit from the latest security patches and Apple Intelligence enhancements.
