Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M3, 2024) review: lightweight heavyweight

 

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 MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) review: the best MacBook just got better

 

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,...

Apple 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip review: Still the best MacBook for most people

 

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.

Apple MacBook Air M3 review: small upgrades

 

The MacBook lineup has fallen deeper into an identity crisis. The new MacBook Air M3 is a straightforward improvement over its predecessor, with the same sleek, Pro-like design with tucked-away speakers and four-color options. The trackpad is still...

MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) review: Seeking portable perfection

 

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.

Apple MacBook Air 13 M3 review - A lot faster and with Wi-Fi 6E

 

We tested the new MacBook Air M3 with a faster 10-core graphics card, Wi-Fi 6E and 16 GB RAM. The MacBook Air M2 was presented 1.5 years ago and at the time, Apple unveiled an entirely new design. In the meantime, the series has been extended by a...

M3 MacBook Air (2024) review: Benchmark results of Apple's AI laptop may surprise you

 

Apple's best-selling laptop takes a leap forward with the M3 chip, a boost to AI, and support for two external monitors to entice more pros.

"Pro" enough for lots of professional users ; Form factor sets a high bar in style and substance ; Supports two external monitors with the lid closed ; Upgraded neural engine for faster AI tasks

LCD display lags behind OLED competitors ; 8GB of RAM on base model limits its uses ; Limited to two expansion ports, both on one side ; Built-in audio could be much stronger

Need a large tablet? Here are 4 reasons I love big slates like the 13-inch iPad Air

 

It turns out that bigger really might be better, at least when it comes to the iPad Air. Here's why I'm all-in on a 13-inch tablet.

Large and vibrant Liquid Retina display ; Punchy stereo speakers ; Seamless Apple connection

Could be brighter outdoors ; Stage Manager is still tricky ; Expensive accessories
