Apple has kicked off its series of 2024 hardware announcements with the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air powered by the Apple M3 processor, with the price tag starting at $1,099 and $1,299.
Apple has just refreshed its laptop lineup with the new M3-powered 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air. New chips offer better performance, faster connectivity, support for up to two external displays, and more.
Apple announced the updated MacBook Air without much fanfare in a post on its official website. According to the company, the M3-based MacBook Air offers up to 60% more performance than the original M1-powered MacBook Air while remaining a thin, light, and passively cooled laptop.
The M3 processor features 8 CPU cores, up to 10 GPU cores, up to 24GB of unified memory, and a more efficient 16-core NPU for machine learning and AI. The new MacBook Air also supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Apple’s latest media engine with AV1 decoding.
