It weighs just under 3 pounds.

With up to 12 hours of battery life, you can’t go wrong with how wonderfully portable the MacBook Air is. If you’re worried about security, touch ID support means you can be safe in the knowledge that your laptop can never be unlocked without your fingerprint. It’s a great addition to a device already focused on portability.
