Starting at $1,099 at Apple and Amazon, the Apple MacBook Air M3 has increased performance with faster and more stable Wi-Fi 6E and longer battery life from previous models.
For 2024, the laptop comes with Apple’s new M3 processor with two variations, which the company says is 60 percent faster than the M1 chip and up to 13 times faster than the Intel Core i7 processor.
These are Apple‘s speediest, most powerful and thinnest MacBook Air models for more fluid workflows, faster rendering times and smoother video playback. It’s one of the best laptops for word processing, web browsing, streaming videos and even playing video games, thanks to the Liquid Retina Display with 500 nits of brightness.
The MacBook Air M3 features a top-of-the-line camera system with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera — coupled with voice isolation and wide spectrum microphone modes — is just as great for catching up with far-away family as it is for better-looking video calls and presentation meetings. The Wi-Fi 6E compatibility allows for faster file transfers, as well as steadier video streaming and gameplay. It can even support two external displays when the laptop lid is closed.
There are four colors available, including midnight, silver, space gray and starlight. Ahead, learn more about all of the new MacBook Air M3 models.
