Apple introduces M3 MacBook Air: more power

Translation: machine translated

The M3 MacBook Air comes with a new chip at the same price. It now supports two external displays. From the outside, it looks like the previous model.

The battery life could be exciting. Apple still specifies 18 hours for both sizes. However, the MacBook Pro made a significant leap in efficiency with the M3 generation. Especially for light tasks, the M3 MacBook Air could also have more endurance than its predecessor.

In addition to the greater performance reserves, there are some smaller innovations: The Air now supports two external screens with up to 5K resolution at 60 hertz. However, only when closed. It also supports WiFi 6E and voice isolation for the internal microphone.

The prices for the new M3 version are the same as Apple charged for its predecessor when it was launched:

13 inch

  • 13-inch M3, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: 1099 francs / 1299 euros
  • 13-inch M3, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD: 1319 francs / 1529 euros
  • 13-inch M3, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD: 1539 francs / 1759 euros

15 inch

  • 15-inch M3, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: 1299 francs / 1599 euros
  • 15-inch M3, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD: 1519 francs / 1829 euros
  • 15-inch M3, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD: 1739 francs / 2059 euros

As always, we will be testing the M3 MacBook Air in detail. It can be ordered here now and will be delivered from 8 March:

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
