![]() ![]() ![]() The new M1 MacBook Air struggled slightly with Microsoft Teams on its original software, but quickly sorted itself out once updated (Photo: Apple) The more cores a CPU has, the more efficiently it is able to run: ditto the amount of RAM, the more it has, the quicker the machine can theoretically operate. Both models have 8GB of RAM (Random Access Memory, a form of computer memory which temporarily stores data) and the same 8-core M1 CPU. There are two versions of the new M1-powered MacBook Air: the first has a 7‑core GPU and 256GB of storage, while the second has an 8‑core GPU and 512GB of storage. A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is a secondary processor designed to render the graphics displayed on a screen.Ĭonsequently, Apple claims the M1 has been finely tuned to operate as efficiently as possible in terms of data sharing and power distribution, allowing a computer to run more quickly, even when tackling intensive programs, and extending the time it’s able to run for. This is important because the processor, aka chip, aka CPU (central processing unit) is essentially the brains of the machine, telling the computing what to do, handling trillions of calculations each second and juggling processing programs and apps. Starts from £999 for the 256GB storage and 7-core GPU model, rising to £1,249 for the 512GB and 8-core GPU version
