If the river makes noise, it means the water is flowing. We started the week knowing that Apple was going to release new products, and we already have at least the first two: MacBook Air upgraded to M3 chip. As expected, there was no event, but the company introduced it in a press release.
These new computers can be booked now, although it will still be a few days before they go on sale. They have the same essence as the previous models, but with interesting new features in terms of hardware.

If we put the MacBook Air M3 and MacBook Air M2 next to each other, don’t try to find the differences, because there aren’t any. Both models have 13 and 15 inch screens. They share an aesthetic with the previous generation.
which has already been extended.
Be that as it may, we find 13.6 and 15.3 inch IPS panels with cutout and an identical FullHD resolution, as well as a 60Hz refresh rate, which, like the iPhone’s 120Hz, seems to be reserved for the “Pro” only.
The design idea is that these computers represent thinness in all its gloryThus, the thickness of the case when closed barely exceeds 113 millimeters in the 13-inch model and 115 in the 15-inch model.
The keyboard mechanism also remains unchanged and is recognizable as the Magic Keyboard, leaving the controversial butterfly keyboards that caused so many problems a thing of the past (very past). That’s why, The fingerprint scanner remains on the top right key. act as Touch ID when the system requires it (make payments or simply unlock the device).
The news is already on the inside, starting with the M3 chip, which we already saw debut in November in the iMac M3 and MacBook Pro M3. This is an SoC that, according to Apple in its presentation, is 15% faster than M2 and 60% faster than M1.. It has 25 billion transistors, an 8-core processor and a 10-core GPU.
And the phrase that we highlight in link to artificial intelligence It is taken from the same Apple press release and is a declaration of intent and partly a reference to the company’s 16-core neural engine. Also a possible hint at what’s coming in macOS 15, in line with Cook’s words about Apple’s future in artificial intelligence.
As for the unified memory, there are options up to 24 GB, although they still start at 8GB (with 16GB options in between). New product has arrived storage from 256 GB, something that many users have been asking for to increase for years, but in the end it didn’t happen. Likewise, there are 512 GB, as well as 1 and 2 TB options (if you pay extra, of course).
Regarding the battery, Apple is true to its customs and does not indicate the capacity, although they provide this data regarding autonomy for specific purposes for both devices:
It’s when it comes to batteries that Apple Offers up to three types of power adapters. On the one hand, the power is 30 W for base models with an 8-core CPU and GPU, and those that already have a 10-core GPU give you the opportunity to get a model with two USB-C 35 W for the same price. ports or 70 W with one port (the latter option is the only option on more advanced models).
These new MacBook Air M3 can be booked from today via the Apple website. Of course, his official departure will not occur before this moment. Friday, March 8what will happen when the first customers start receiving them and they are also available in stores.
