Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M3 Overview
Design
The M3 variant of the MacBook Air maintains the tried and tested flat design of its predecessor, the M2 MacBook Air. The laptop is encased in an aluminum chassis from top to bottom.
The Apple logo is displayed prominently on the lid. On the left side, there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports and the MagSafe connector. On the right side, you’ll find the 3.5mm headphone jack. The M3 MacBook Air 13-inch also comes with a backlit keyboard that uses Touch ID as biometric authentication.
The underside of the laptop features four rubber feet. The MacBook Air 13″ M3’s design remains clean, free of visible vents or grilles. It is available in four color options: silver, starlight, space gray, and midnight.
Display
The MacBook Air 13-inch M3 features a 13.6-inch IPS LCD display that Apple calls its Liquid Retina display. It has a resolution of 2560 x 1664 pixels and can reach peak brightness of 500nits with support for Apple’s True tone technology.
The display has an edge-to-edge design and comes with thin bezels when compared to other laptops. There is one notch on the top-center of the display that houses the 1080p webcam.
Hardware
The most significant change in this new MacBook Air is the addition of Apple’s new M3 Processor. The new processor, as per Apple’s claims, is capable of performing hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, alongside optimized video streaming and playback efficiency with an AV1 decode engine. The processor comes with 4x performance and 4x efficiency cores.
Alongside the CPU, the GPU of the MacBook Air also increases the effective usage of the laptop. The GPU comes in either 8 or 10-core configuration and can now run graphics-heavy processes like games, and photo/video editing tasks faster when compared to its predecessor.
Also, the laptop can now connect to up to two 6K external displays when the lid is closed. If the lid is open, the laptop will project to only one display. The laptop now supports Wi-Fi 6E.
Memory-wise, the base model variant of the laptop comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-upgradable memory. The MacBook Air 13-inch with M3 processor can be customized for up to 24GB of RAM and 2TB of storage configuration.
