Apple made a groundbreaking announcement today, introducing the latest 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air models featuring the cutting-edge M3 chip. This technological marvel brings a 60% performance boost compared to the M1 version and an impressive 13 times acceleration compared to the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air.
Highlighting its prowess, Apple emphasizes that the MacBook Air M3 remains unparalleled in the consumer laptop market for Artificial Intelligence (AI), thanks to its faster and more efficient Neural Engine. The inclusion of an AV1 decode engine further enhances the streaming experience, providing efficient and high-quality video content.
Beyond the powerful M3 chip, the new MacBook Air boasts Wi-Fi 6E capability, setting a new standard for wireless connectivity. The introduction of Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes ensures superior voice clarity during audio and video calls. The laptop’s aesthetic appeal is elevated with a more fingerprint-resistant finish, and users can now opt for the stylish Midnight color option.
Noteworthy enhancements extend to the laptop’s external display support, allowing users to connect up to two external displays with the laptop lid closed, a significant improvement over previous Apple silicon models. The MacBook Air M3 is available for pre-order starting today, with deliveries scheduled for Friday, March 8. Choose from the sophisticated Midnight, Starlight, Space Gray, and Silver color options, with a starting price of $1,099.
