Apple has announced a new MacBook Air packing the M3 chip; the company says it’s up to 60% faster than the model with the M1 chip and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air. And the Air is available in a 15-inch version for the first time.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, says the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air both feature a finless design, up to 18 hours of battery life, a Liquid Retina display, and new capabilities, including support for up to two external displays and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi than the previous generation. With its aluminum unibody enclosure, the new MacBook Air is available in four colors: midnight, which features a breakthrough anodization seal to reduce fingerprints; starlight; space gray; and silver.
