MacBooks consistently land among the best laptops on the market, and Apple has just announced that it is finally adding the M3 processor to its MacBook Air lineup. With with the addition of the M3 chip, as well as upgraded Wi-Fi 6E support and dual monitor support, the latest MacBook Air models offer some solid reasons to upgrade right now.
These new MacBook Air models are available in two sizes: 13- and 15-inch. If you prefer a larger screen for your workstation, the 15-inch version will serve you well, without being too cumbersome when you’re traveling. However, if you want something a little smaller, the 13-inch may be a better fit. Each laptop provides up to 18 hours of battery life per charge. It’s worth noting, however, that you will need to have your lid closed to support two displays with the M3 models, so be sure you consider that as you shop.
Preorders for the new MacBook Air are open now with deliveries beginning March 8. As of right now, Apple is the only place to preorder one of these sleek, upgraded devices, but we’ll keep you updated if that changes.
