If you’ve been hankering for an M3 MacBook Air, it’s just around the corner.
Apple on Monday announced its new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air notebooks, complete with an M3 chip, improved external display support, Wi-Fi 6E, and other features.
The company has stated that the M3 MacBook Air is up to 60 percent faster than the M1 MacBook Air and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air. The new hardware also offers an AV1 decode engine to provide more efficient and higher-quality video from streaming services.
Other new features include Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes, enhanced voice clarity in audio and video calls, and a more fingerprint-resistant finish with the Midnight color option. It also now supports up to two external displays when the notebook lid is closed, increasing from just a single external display on the previous Apple silicon models.
Pre-orders for the new unit began on Monday, with orders arriving to customers on Friday, March 8. It continues to be available in Midnight, Starlight, Space Gray, and Silver with a starting price of $1,099.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
