The 13-inch MacBook Air starts at $1,099, while the 15-inch model starts at $1,299. Both devices feature a Liquid Retina display and up to 500 nits of brightness, and support up to two external displays when closed.
The upgraded devices get Wi-Fi 6E, which supports the 6GHz band and faster download speeds, along with MagSafe charging and two Thunderbolt ports. The 13-inch Air with the M2 chip starts at $999.
Users can now pre-order the MacBook Air M3 model on Apple's homepage.
Apple's M3 Silicon chip includes a 16-core Neural Engine optimized for "running AI models," along with an integrated GPU that supports 3D imaging. The new MacBook will use a 1080p Facetime camera, 3 microphones, and support Dolby Atmos sound. In terms of appearance, the device is less than 20mm thick.
The base 13-inch MacBook comes with a 30W USB-C power adapter, while most upgraded models will come with a 35W dual-port charger or a 70W adapter. For an additional $20, users can upgrade the 256GB storage version to a 35W dual-port adapter or a 70W adapter.
Both models come with 8GB of RAM, but customers will have to pay an extra $200 for 16GB and $400 for 24GB. You can also upgrade the base 256GB SSD to 512GB for $200, 1TB for $400, and 2TB for $800.
Like the MacBook Air M2 released in 2022, the M3 models include the Magic Keyboard with full-function Touch ID. The MacBook Air M3 comes in four color options: starlight, space gray, and silver. There's also a midnight blue color that's anodized to reduce fingerprints.
