Description
M3 Power. Sharpened to the max.
MacBook Air is the perfect companion for work and play. And now the world’s most popular notebook includes the lightning-fast M3 chip. With this addition, an ultracompact design, and up to 18 hours of battery life,1 you can go anywhere, so you can power through anything.
COMPACT DESIGN
Take it your way.
It’s super-light and just over an inch thick. The MacBook Air with the M3 chip doesn’t just look good — it’s also good news for the planet: It’s made from 50 percent recycled materials, a new milestone for Apple. And like every MacBook Air, it features a durable recycled aluminum enclosure.
PERFORMANCE AND AUTONOMY
M3, power is you.
Right out of the box, MacBook Air is ready to rock and roll. And thanks to its fanless design, you won’t hear it chugging no matter how hard it’s working. Whatever you’re doing, the M3 chip delivers blazing fast, smooth performance — whether you’re running multiple apps at once, editing videos in iMovie, or jumping into Baldur’s Gate 3 with Game mode on.
The MacBook Air with M3 chip takes advantage of the incredible AI performance of the Neural Engine to deliver intelligent macOS features that boost productivity and creativity, including powerful camera features, real-time speech-to-text and visual understanding.
Plus, MacBook Air lets you use advanced AI features to do everything in so many apps — from enhancing photos in Pixelmator Pro to removing background noise from a video with CapCut to checking if your numbers work using the AI math assistant in Goodnotes. And that’s just the beginning.
Go all day without charging. MacBook Air with M2 or M3 chip gives you up to 18 hours of battery life, so you can leave the charger at home with confidence.
Your first Mac?
If you love iPhone, you’ll love Mac. And why? Because Mac is designed to be as easy to use as iPhone. You can copy text on your phone and paste it on your computer, chat in Messages on your Mac, or find your devices with the Find My app. Everything is more convenient when you combine Mac and iPhone.
Setting it up is a breeze.
Get your files, apps, and more from your PC to your Mac before you hit the road. If you need a hand, Apple Support can help by chat, phone, or in-store appointment.
Access your files anywhere with iCloud.
You can keep your photos, contacts, and documents on all your devices if you store them in iCloud. So when you start a to-do list on your iPhone, you can complete it on your MacBook Air. And vice versa.
Fantastic built-in apps.
With apps like FaceTime, Freeform, Photos, and Keynote, Mac is the ultimate tool for creating projects and working together.
Made to last.
The recycled aluminum enclosure of a Mac notebook is tough as nails and can handle whatever you throw at it. And free macOS updates make sure everything is up to date, including security. You've got a computer that's here to stay.
SCREEN, CAMERA AND AUDIO
Brilliant. Very clearly.
The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a real eye-catcher with a billion colors and twice the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and movies are sharp and vivid, and text is crisp and clear. Crisp. Clarinet.
High definition camera.
The 1080p FaceTime HD camera puts your best face forward, whether you're hosting family gatherings or video calling clients halfway around the world.
Surround sound system.
MacBook Air speakers create a three-dimensional experience when playing movies and music with Dolby Atmos and spatial audio.
PORTS AND CONNECTIVITY
Full screen connections.
The MagSafe port has magnets that attach the charging cable just by bringing it close to you and release it instantly if someone trips. The two Thunderbolt ports let you connect and charge accessories at high speeds. And the 3.5 mm jack supports high-impedance headphones. Models with the M3 chip also come with Wi‑Fi 6E, which is up to twice as fast as Wi‑Fi 6.
MAGIC KEYBOARD WITH TOUCH ID
Your finger is
your master key.
In addition to being comfortable and quiet, the backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, so you can unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and websites quickly, easily, and securely — with just the flick of a finger.
