The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display[3] supports one billion colours.
Look sharp, sound great
Everything looks and sounds amazing with a 1080p HD camera, three mics, and six speakers with Spatial Audio.
Apps fly with Apple Silicon
All your favourites, from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud, run lightning fast in macOS.[4]
Get connected
