The moment you open your MacBook Air, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it. And no matter how intense the workload, it stays silent thanks to a fanless design. Whether you’re multitasking between apps, editing videos in iMovie, or playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in Game Mode, the M3 chip brings more speed and fluidity to everything you do.
MacBook Air with M3 leverages the incredible AI performance of the Neural Engine to deliver intelligent macOS features that enhance productivity and creativity, including powerful camera features, real-time speech to text, and visual understanding.
With access to a broad ecosystem of apps that deliver advanced AI features, users can do everything from checking their homework with AI Math Assistance in Goodnotes, to automatically enhancing photos in Pixelmator Pro, to removing background noise from a video using CapCut.
MacBook Air is built for Apple Intelligence,1 the personal intelligence system that helps you express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.
A battery that goes all day. Both MacBook Air with M2 and MacBook Air with M3 provide up to 18 hours of battery life, so you can leave the power adapter at home.2
A chipload of power.
Apple silicon combines the CPU, GPU, memory, and more on a single chip so all your apps — from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud — run much faster while requiring much less power.
With the M3 chip, graphics and gaming look better than ever on MacBook Air. And thanks to a new class of GPU architecture, M3 includes Dynamic Caching and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Dynamic Caching drives a huge performance boost for pro apps and games, while hardware‑accelerated ray tracing produces more realistic images for immersive gaming.
This all means that M3 makes gaming a blast on the new MacBook Air. And everything else feels incredibly fast and responsive, too.
Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air with M3 delivers up to 2x faster performance,6 up to 50 percent faster web browsing,7 and up to 40 percent longer battery life.8
