Apple is set to release updated MacBook Air models with the M3 chip, promising faster performance and impressive new features. The 13- and 15-inch models will be available at Apple Store locations and authorized resellers starting Friday, with starting prices of $1,099 and $1,299 respectively.
Preorders for the new MacBook Air models have already begun, with the M3 chip making the laptop up to 60 percent faster than the previous model with the M1 chip and up to 13 times faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air. The new MacBook Air is being hailed as the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI,” featuring the Neural Engine in the M3 chip and CPU and GPU accelerators.
Exciting new features include support for up to two external displays, up to 2 times faster Wi-Fi, and batteries that can last up to 18 hours. The release of the new MacBook Air models is part of Apple’s recent product launches, which also include the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and Vision Pro headset.
In the first quarter of Apple’s fiscal year, the Mac segment saw $7.78 billion in net sales, representing roughly 6.5% of the tech giant’s overall net sales. Interestingly, Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway has sold shares of Apple, following the trend of Paramount selling shares of the tech giant.
Overall, the new MacBook Air models are generating buzz in the tech world, offering impressive performance enhancements and cutting-edge features for consumers. Stay tuned for the official release later this week to get your hands on the latest innovation from Apple.
