Why you should buy the M3 MacBook Air
The Apple M3 MacBook Air (review) is an ideal choice for college students and most casual users looking for a lightweight and capable MacBook with an exceptional keyboard and trackpad to type on. The current discount further makes it a compelling purchase.
In our test, we liked the M3 MacBook Air for several reasons. This includes its sleek and premium aluminum build and its sharp 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display that outputs 500 nits of brightest. There is a pair of USB-C Thunderbolt ports that support up to two external monitors with the lid closed, while for charging, it uses the custom MagSafe. Despite its thinness, the quad-speaker is impressive.
The Apple M3 chipset paired with up to 24 GB of unified RAM in the MacBook Air offers a solid performance compared to the M2 and M1 chip counterparts. This setup has an 8-core processor, up to 10-core graphics supporting ray tracing, and a 16-core neural engine for machine learning and AI task management.
Another major reason we love the M3 MacBook Air is the phenomenal battery life that lasts a whole day or even more in mixed typical usage. This generation also arrived with a faster and more stable Wi-Fi 6E and improved microphones.
