Lean. Mean. M3 machine.
MacBook Air sails through work and play — and the M3 chip brings even greater capabilities to the world’s most popular laptop. With up to 18 hours of battery life,⁴ you can take the superportable MacBook Air anywhere and blaze through whatever you’re into.
Superlight and under half an inch thin.
MacBook Air fits easily into your life and is built with the planet in mind. MacBook Air with M3 is made with 50 percent recycled materials — an Apple first. And all MacBook Air laptops have a durable recycled aluminum enclosure.
A chipload of power.
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.
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.⁴
If you love iPhone, you’ll love Mac.
Mac is designed to be just as easy to learn as iPhone. And whether you’re copying text on your phone to paste on your Mac, chatting with friends in Messages, or locating devices with Find My — when you use Mac with iPhone, they work seamlessly together.
Let’s be clear. It’s brilliant.
The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a sight to behold, with support for 1 billion colors and up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears supercrisp for easy reading.
Immersive sound system.
The speakers on MacBook Air support Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy three-dimensional soundstages for music and movies.
High-definition camera.
Look your best with the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, whether you’re catching up with friends and family or collaborating with coworkers around the globe.
Connections on full display.
The MagSafe charging cable easily attaches and detaches with magnets, preventing any unintended flights. Two Thunderbolt ports let you connect high-speed accessories and charge your Mac. And the headphone jack supports high‑impedance headphones. With the M3 model, you can access Wi‑Fi 6E, which has up to 2x faster throughput compared to Wi‑Fi 6.⁶
Unlock it all with the touch of your finger.
The comfortable and quiet backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, and secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites — all at the touch of a finger.
Designed with the earth in mind.
Recycled materials. A greener supply chain. Responsible packaging. MacBook Air was engineered to be as light on the environment as it is in your hands.
