Performance and battery life
A chipload of power.
Up to1.6xfaster than MacBookAir(M1)3
Up to13xfaster than the fastest Intel‑based MacBookAir4
Up to 18 hrs battery life1
The moment you open your MacBookAir, 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 Gate3 in Game mode, the M3chip brings more speed and fluidity to everything youdo.
MacBookAir with M3 leverages the incredible AI performance of the NeuralEngine to deliver intelligent macOS features that enhance productivity and creativity, including powerful camera features, real-time speech to text, and visual understanding.
And 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 PixelmatorPro, to removing background noise from a video using CapCut.
A battery that lasts all day. Both MacBookAir withM2 and MacBookAir withM3 provide up to 18 hours of battery life, so you can leave the power adapter at home.1
A chipload of power.
Applesilicon combines the CPU, GPU, memory and more on a single chip so all your apps — from Microsoft Office365 to Adobe Creative Cloud — run much faster while requiring much less power.
Myst
With the M3chip, graphics and gaming look better than ever on MacBookAir. 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 MacBookAir. And everything else feels incredibly fast and responsivetoo.
Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Corei7 processor, MacBookAir with M3 delivers up to 2x faster performance,5 up to 50per cent faster web browsing6 and up to 40per cent longer battery life.7
