Apple surprised us all with two new MacBook Air models, both of which are now available for purchase and will begin shipping this Friday, March 8. Thanks to Cupertino’s M3 chip, the new model comes with even more features, which means you get faster CPU and GPU performance, an upgraded Neural Engine, and faster Wi-Fi speeds, and the best part is that this new The model will also support up to two external monitors simultaneously.
For those interested in purchasing a new MacBook Air, we have good news, as the new model is now available. Cupertino has launched new 13-inch and 15-inch models powered by the latest Apple chips. Both new models start at $1,099 for the 13-inch model and $1,299 for the larger 15-inch MacBook Air with the M3 chip, which I believe is a very good price for all the features you get with these machines Label. I mean, I recently got a MacBook Air with the M2, and I love the speed, performance, and looks.
Since we are talking about looks, we must also mention that the new model looks almost identical to its predecessor. However, as Apple claims, there’s a brilliant new upgrade that will make your new laptop less of a fingerprint magnet:
“With a durable aluminum unibody shell that’s built to last, the new MacBook Air is available in four gorgeous colors: Midnight, with a breakthrough anodized seal to reduce fingerprints; Starlight; Space Gray; and Silver.”
There’s also good news for those who are constantly on the go, as they can get you through the day with ease and have up to 18 hours of battery life, depending on which apps you use. You’ll also be surprised by how powerful these laptops are, as they’re 60 percent faster than the M1-powered option and 13 times faster than the previous generation Intel-based MacBook Air.
Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, as Apple also decided to discontinue the 2020 M1-powered MacBook Air, the last model with the classic chamfered design, and also discontinued the larger 15-inch model with the M2 chip , which has been on the market for a relatively short time. Regardless, you can still pick up the older model M1 MacBook Air for $750, with a $250 discount on Amazon and Best Buy. Or get a 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 for $100 cheaper.
Either way, this is the perfect time for you to upgrade to a new MacBook Air, as we’ll likely start to see the smaller M2 models become cheaper as well.
Rumors also suggest that Apple might release a new iPad model, which is perfect considering I’m targeting the more powerful M2-powered iPad Air, so fingers crossed, I might be upgrading my tablet soon.
