Move proposal
Apple doesn't treat "Apple silicon" as a brand name. "Silicon" is written in lower case within body text. Apple does capitalise "Silicon" in a few headlines within the Apple Developer Documentation; however, Wikipedia doesn't use title case in headlines (WP:NCCAPS). Therefore, I think this page should be moved to MacBook Air (Apple silicon). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andibrema (talk • contribs) 11:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I propose to move the article to MacBook Air (M1, 2020). Apple silicon is cryptic to me, and I expected to see a list of all previous MacBook Air computers when I arrived at this page. Sauer202 (talk) 09:41, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Scaled UI Resolution Listing
I was alerted by a friend that the UI scaling resolutions were listed in a confusing way that made it sound like the display was being line doubled from a lower resolution. I changed the formatting to make the difference between the UI scale and display resolution less ambiguous, but I feel like it needs to be clearer to avoid confusion. If somebody has a better idea on how to present this, then please go ahead. Ctaetcsh (talk) 12:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Please use other photo. This one, in addition to being a poor quality photograph of otherwise magnificent example of modern Western engineering that MacBook Air is, it has non-English non-Latin (Chinese?) characters in its description, which not suitable for users of English Wikipedia. 73.9.112.141 (talk) 01:42, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia Commons is a repository for media for use on sites of all languages. As such, it allows descriptions in many languages. You are allowed (and encouraged) to add a description to the Commons page in the English section. (You can even translate the Japanese text using modern translation tools if you like.)
 * As for the image itself, if a better image of this product is available, please provide a link to it here and we can swap it. Note that it must be high quality, and its rights must be free enough that Wikipedia (“the Free Encyclopedia”) can use it. And just a small note, but Apple uses technologies, materials, personel and knowledge from around the entire globe to produce these “magnificent examples of modern Western engineering”. — HTGS (talk) 00:46, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

M2 GPU EU & ALU Count
Where did the 256 EUs & 2048 ALUs for the 8-core GPU M2 model come from? I have come across two other tech sites that state it is 128 EUs & 1024 ALUs. Joz (talk) 07:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Generation numbers?
Why is it that the generation numbers continue on from the Intel models instead of resetting the way the iMac does? QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 17:31, 19 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This was changed by an IP user with a pretty incomprehensible justification. Just changed it back. Nobody calls it "the flat unibody MacBook Air" either. DFlhb (talk) 13:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
