Find your movement

Three ways to move.One MacBook.

A gentle fold. A flowing wave. A graceful fan. Explore the one that feels like you.

Fold

Wave

Soft curves, flowing freely. Let your desktop move like a ribbon.

03

Fan

A graceful curve that fans open. A fresh way to see your screen.

Everything flows together

Made to feel natural.

Your wallpaper and open windows move together. Choose wallpaper blur, black, or your own color for the surrounding area.

Your screen. Your style.

Silk, Shade, and Frost. Choose your atmosphere, then adjust perspective, blur, and shadow until it feels just right.

Move your lid or try the slider. See every adjustment as you make it.
