A few minutes ago, Apple launched new models of MacBook Air, in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes.
It comes with an M3 chip that will help in improving the performance. Both in terms of use and energy saving
Most importantly, it still maintains the concept of the easy-to-carry MacBook Air with a thickness of only 1 centimeter.
So, what are some other interesting features of the MacBook Air with the M3 chip?
1. Fast and powerful performance from M3 chip.
The 3nm M3 chip is designed to help make MacBook Air faster and more capable.
With a powerful 8-core CPU, up to 10-core GPU, and support for up to 24GB of built-in memory.
This will make the M3-powered MacBook Air up to 60% faster than models with the M1 chip.
And up to 13 times faster than MacBook Air with the fastest Intel1 processor.
Apple says users will experience the M3's ultra-fast speeds for everyday tasks. For processing-heavy tasks such as photo editing, video editing or software development
And with a next-generation GPU in the M3 chip, MacBook Air delivers an incredibly beautiful and immersive gaming experience. Of shadows and reflections that are more subtle
In addition, video streaming from various services is of higher quality and more energy efficient.
2. Battery lasts up to 18 hours.

The shift to Apple Silicon makes every Mac a great platform for AI.
The M3 chip comes with a 16-core neural engine that is faster and more energy efficient. Including CPU and GPU accelerators.
All of this makes MacBook Air the world's best consumer laptop with AI technology.
Users can use AI for everything from reviewing homework with AI Math Assistance in Goodnotes 6 to automatically beautifying photos in Pixelmator Pro.
Or even cut background noise from video with CapCut.
MacBook Air can also run AI models smoothly. Whether it is a large language model (LLM)
Or the diffusion model used to create the image by the device itself.
You can also use apps for work and creativity. That seamlessly uses AI capabilities like Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, Canva, and Adobe Firefly
4. Aluminum body makes it sturdy, durable, lightweight and just over one centimeter thick. So you can carry it to work, play or create anywhere.
The display is a Liquid Retina display, has a maximum brightness of 500 nits, supports one billion colors, and has a resolution that is up to two times higher than similar laptops. The content of the images is also beautiful and detailed.
