Apple MacBook Air 13.6" (March 2024) Lean. Mean. M3 machine. MacBook Air sails through work and play - and the M3 chip brings even greater capabilities to the world’s most popular laptop. With up to 18 hours of battery life, you can take the superportable MacBook Air anywhere and blaze through whatever you’re into. Designed to go places. Superlight and under half an inch thin, MacBook Air fits easily into your life and is built with the planet in mind. MacBook Air with M3 is made with 50 percent recycled materials - an Apple first. And all MacBook Air laptops have a durable recycled aluminum enclosure. Two perfectly portable sizes. The 13‑inch model is the ultimate on‑the‑go laptop, and the 15‑inch model gives you more space onscreen for multitasking. Four stellar colors. Your options are out of this world - and each one comes with a matching MagSafe charging cable. A chipload of power. The moment you open your MacBook Air, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it. And no matter how intense the workload, it stays silent thanks to a fanless design. Whether you’re multitasking between apps, editing videos in iMovie, or playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in Game Mode, the M3 chip brings more speed and fluidity to everything you do. MacBook Air with M3 leverages the incredible AI performance of the Neural Engine to deliver intelligent macOS features that enhance productivity and creativity, including powerful camera features, real-time speech to text, and visual understanding. And with access to a broad ecosystem of apps that deliver advanced AI features, users can do everything from checking their homework with AI Math Assistance in Goodnotes, to automatically enhancing photos in Pixelmator Pro, to removing background noise from a video using CapCut. A battery that goes all day. Both MacBook Air with M2 and MacBook Air with M3 provide up to 18 hours of battery life, so you can leave the power adapter at home. Let’s be clear. It’s brilliant. The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a sight to behold, with support for 1 billion colors and up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears supercrisp for easy reading. High-definition camera. Look your best with the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, whether you’re catching up with friends and family or collaborating with coworkers around the globe. Immersive sound system. The speakers on MacBook Air support Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy three-dimensional soundstages for music and movies. Connections on full display. The MagSafe charging cable easily attaches and detaches with magnets, preventing any unintended flights. Two Thunderbolt ports let you connect high-speed accessories and charge your Mac. And the headphone jack supports high‑impedance headphones. With the M3 model, you can access Wi‑Fi 6E, which has up to 2x faster throughput compared to Wi‑Fi 6. Unlock it all with the touch of your finger. The comfortable and quiet backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, and secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites - all at the touch of a finger.
