Apple MacBook Air M3 review: the laptop to beat

Faster chip, tremendous battery life, premium touch points and a price cut make the best even better

Apple’s latest MacBook Air adds more power to an already potent package while maintaining its very long battery life and coming at a lower price than its predecessor.

The 2024 model ships with Apple’s latest M3 chip, first seen in the MacBook Pro, giving the company’s thinnest and lightest machine a boost in performance. On the outside the laptop is identical to the 2022 model.
