help MacBook Air M1 (Best for Specific Port Needs) FAQ
What ports does the MacBook Air M1 have?
The M1 MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt/USB 4 USB-C ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It does not include built-in USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, or an SD card slot.
Can the MacBook Air M1 run multiple monitors?
Apple's native specification supports one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. A high-quality dock may offer workarounds for additional screens, but that depends on the dock's DisplayLink or similar technology.
Is the MacBook Air M1 suitable for someone who needs USB-A and HDMI?
It can work if you use a reliable USB-C dock or hub with the ports you need. Buyers who regularly connect several older USB-A devices and HDMI displays should budget for those peripherals because the laptop itself has only USB-C data and display ports.
What processor does the MacBook Air M1 use?
It uses Apple's M1 chip, introduced in the MacBook Air in 2020. The chip combines the processor, graphics, and memory controller, which is why compatible memory and storage choices cannot be upgraded like those in many older laptops.
