With added M3 power the latest 13in MacBook Air is an ideal portable laptop
Fanless design means silent operation ; M3 is a real powerhouse when needed ; Great battery life
That screen notch will still divide opinions ; Faster-charging 70W plug not included ; Can get rather hot under pressure
The redesign of the MacBook Air was a major revelation. Adding Apple's M3 silicon into that mix gives this laptop even more life. And cutting the effective price generation on generation makes it even more appealing for those seeking a portable 13-inch...

Apple's best laptop gets an upgrade
Excellent performance ; Fan-less design ; Very good battery life ; Lower price
Base specs are a bit weak ; External monitor support feels compromised
The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) offers improved performance, a slightly tweaked design to prevent fingerprints spoiling the look, and lower price of entry compared to the previous model. This is easily the best MacBook money can buy for most people,...

The MacBook Air has long been the cheapest way to get yourself an Apple laptop, but in recent years prices have been rising, meaning expectations should also be raised accordingly. With a thin and light metal chassis and Apple's latest M3 processor,...

The petit MacBook offering is pleasingly thin and enjoyable to use, but there's better value for money in an older model
Super M3 processor ; Long battery life ; Winning keyboard and trackpad combo
Not much better than the M2 model ; Limited port selection

Not much has changed. If you aren't a creative professional, this is probably the MacBook you should buy. #apple #macbookair #m3
Great performance ; Completely silent ; Now drives two external displays ; Super thin, relatively light ; Long battery life ; Nice keyboard & large trackpad ; Good speakers
Only 8GB of memory as standard ; Upgrade options are pricey ; Only two USB-C ports ; Throttling can be an issue
The TL;DR version: Highly capable and portable, these are the ideal MacBooks for most people. Pity they only come with 8GB of memory as standard. Note: You can find it on Lazada , Shopee , and the Apple Online Store.

Not much has changed from the Apple MacBook Air M2 to the M3. It's faster and can drive two displays with the lid closed, but the MacBook lineup is more convoluted than ever.
Correction April 3, 2024, 11:45am ET: The benchmark chart for this article has been updated to correct transposition errors. The Verge regrets the errors.

The 2024 Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch shoehorns more performance into its slim chassis, and amps up the external-monitor support and gaming capability. It holds its own as the best ultraportable Mac.
Expert review by : Brenda Stolyar (wired.com)
This machine delivers the same sleek design and portability, with a mightier M3 processor. But is it worth the upgrade?
Great performance for everyday tasks. Bright display. Solid battery life. Lightweight. Supports two external displays. Comes with Wi-Fi 6E. Midnight color with anodization seal to reduce fingerprints.
Lacks ports. Base memory should be increased. Dual external display support works only when the Air is closed.

The MacBook Air 13-inch M3 is a powerful leap forward
Outstanding battery life ; Strong performance ; Bright Liquid Retina display ; Comfortable keyboard ; Improved SSD speeds
Limited ports ; Display not as colorful as competitors
The MacBook Air 13-inch M3 doesn't tweak the formula, but it manages to level up performance and battery life to a degree that will remain difficult for others to match.
Expert review by : Nadeem Sarwar (slashgear.com)
The MacBook Air M3 (2024) rolls with some of the nicest hardware in a laptop today -- but do you really need this build if you've purchased an M2 or M1 Mac?
