Apple has unveiled a new MacBook Air which is powered by a new M3 chip. The laptop will be available in two size variants- 13-inch and 15-inch, further featuring a thin and light design, backed by up to 18 hours of battery life, and Liquid Retina display. With M3 chip, MacBook Air is claimed to be around 60 per cent faster than the models which run with the M1 chip and up to 13 times faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air- the tech giant claimed.
The new capabilities also include support for up to two external displays and up to two times faster Wi-Fi than the previous generation.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said, “From college students pursuing their degrees, to business users who need powerful productivity, or anyone who simply wants the unmatched combination of performance, portability, and industry-leading battery life, all in a fanless design, the new MacBook Air continues to be the world’s best thin and light laptop."
