A few months ago, the Cupertino company created the event. During its keynote last October, Apple presented, not without pride, its new chips engraved in 3 nm: M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max. If you want power, you probably won't find anything better.

Reserved initially for professionals, with the launch of the MacBook Pro M3 (14” and 16”) and the iMac in November 2023, Apple has just announced the imminent arrival of MacBook Air integrating the M3 chips to go even further. We suspected it. But an official announcement is always good.

MacBook Air M3: always more!

If the Cupertino company deprived us of a keynote on March 4, 2024, Tim Cook's teams still had a lot of things to tell us, and to present to us. Starting with the new MacBook Air.

As Apple points out in its press release, the powerful M3 chip that equips these new models “propels them to new levels of energy performance and portability”. To give you an idea, a MacBook Air equipped with the new M3 chip is up to 60% faster than its counterpart which uses the M1 chip. Not to mention the models that rely on an Intel processor.

Two new models are therefore to be discovered: the MacBook Air 13” and the MacBook Air 15” . Either way, these laptops are more powerful than ever. They integrate a powerful 8-core CPU, a GPU with up to 10 cores and up to 24 GB of unified memory.

Remember that the remarkably powerful M3 chip benefits an even more lively and efficient Neural Engineto emphasize artificial intelligence. But in addition to the M3 chip, which the M3 MacBook Air has more than previous models ? We note the presence of Wi-Fi 6E, faster than ever. Concerning autonomy, the Cupertino company promises autonomy of up to 18 hours in order to accompany you everywhere. New MacBook Air M3s also support up to two external displays.

And the design, in all this ? Apple doesn't change a winning team. Thus, the two new MacBook Air M3 display a design similar to previous generations. As thin and light as ever, they feature an aluminum unibody case. It is both beautiful and durable. Bingo!

When are the new MacBook Air M3s coming out?

Pre-orders for the MacBook Air M3 have just opened. You can now order the computer of your choice. The official launch is set for Friday March 8, 2024.

What about prices ? The MacBook Air M3 13” is sold from 1299 euros.

For its part, the MacBook Air M3 15″ is launched from 1599 euros.

The new MacBook Air M3 benefits from 3 variations. Model 13″ comes with an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, 8 GB of unified memory and 256 GB SSD storage, with an 8-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, 8 GB of unified memory and 512 GB SSD storage as well as ;#8217;with an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16 GB of unified memory and 512 GB SSD storage.
