As part of Apple 2030, the company\u2019s ambitious goal to be carbon neutral across its entire carbon footprint by the end of this decade, Apple is transitioning to renewable electricity for manufacturing, and investing in wind and solar projects around the world to address the electricity used to charge all Apple products, including MacBook Air. Today, all Apple facilities run on 100 percent renewable electricity \u2014 including the data centers that power Apple Intelligence.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo achieve Apple 2030, the company is designing products with more recycled and renewable materials, which further drives down the carbon footprint. MacBook Air features over 55 percent recycled content overall, the most in any Apple product. This includes 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure and 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets. The battery contains 100 percent recycled cobalt and \u2014 in a first for any Mac \u2014 over 95 percent recycled lithium. MacBook Air meets Apple\u2019s high standards for energy efficiency, and is free of mercury, brominated flame retardants, and PVC. The packaging is entirely fiber-based, bringing Apple closer to its goal to remove plastic from all packaging by the end of 2025.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><b>Pricing and Availability<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nCustomers can pre-order the new MacBook Air with M4 starting today on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fstore%2F&amp;esheet=54219217&amp;newsitemid=20250305208407&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=apple.com%2Fstore&amp;index=2&amp;md5=be194fe05f8170b3dfc0a90355c9ce78\">apple.com\/store<\/a> and in the Apple Store\u00ae app in 28 countries and regions, including the U.S. It will begin arriving to customers, and will be in Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Resellers, starting Wednesday, March 12.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThe 13-inch MacBook Air with M4 starts at $999 (U.S.) and $899 (U.S.) for education, and the 15\u2011inch MacBook Air with M4 starts at $1,199 (U.S.) and $1,099 (U.S.) for education.
