Apple MacBook Air 15" with M3 chip (10C GPU, 8GB, 256GB SSD) (Midnight)

Apple M3 8-Core Chip

Now packed with 25 billion transistors, five billion more than M2, the Apple M3 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Now built with 3nm process technology, the Apple M3 8-core chip features four performance cores and four efficiency cores, which is up to 35 per cent faster than M1 for CPU performance. The M3 also supports up to 24GB of unified memory.

With a 10-core GPU, the M3 features Dynamic Caching, which allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real-time. Dynamic Caching only uses the exact amount of memory needed for each task, which dramatically increases the average utilization of the GPU, resulting in significant performance increases for the most demanding pro apps and games. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing has arrived for the MacBook Air.

15" Liquid Retina Display

The MacBook Air features a 15" Liquid Retina Display, with support for one billion colors. The 2880 x 1864 resolution provides crisp text. The 500-nit brightness and wide P3 colour gamut ensure that photos and movies are brilliant and vivid, complete with rich contrast and sharp detail. With True Tone technology, the display delivers a more natural viewing experience for design and editing workflows as well as everyday tasks like browsing the web and writing emails.

External Display Support

When it comes to external display support, the MacBook Air with M3 delivers. You can simultaneously use the MacBook Air display and an external display with up to 6K resolution at 60 Hz. Close the MacBook Air lid to use a second external display with up to 5K resolution at 60 Hz.

Compact Design

The MacBook Air lives up to its name, weighing in at just 3.3 pounds and measuring just 0.45" thin. The MacBook Air with M3 is made with 50 per cent recycled materials, including a durable 100% recycled aluminium enclosure.

The MacBook Air also features a silent, fanless design.

Magic Keyboard & Touch ID

The Magic Keyboard on this MacBook Air features a scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm of key travel. There's also a physical Esc key and an inverted "T" arrangement for the arrow keys. Combined with the Touch ID, the Magic Keyboard provides a comfortable, accurate typing experience.

The advanced security and convenience of Touch ID is built into the MacBook Air. Simply place your finger on the integrated Touch ID sensor and your MacBook Air unlocks. Use your fingerprint to immediately access locked documents, notes, and system settings. You can also use Apple Pay securely during checkout while online shopping. No need to enter shipping or billing info and your card details are never shared.

Thunderbolt 3 & MagSafe

Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also supports USB4, allowing you to connect to more peripherals, including the Apple Pro Display XDR in full 6K resolution. The MacBook Air features the quick-release MagSafe power connector. MagSafe can easily attach and detach with magnets, preventing any unintentional disconnects. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones.

Full HD 1080p FaceTime Camera & Audio

With a Full HD 1080p FaceTime camera, the MacBook Air allows you to look your best during video calls.

The built-in six speakers provide support for Spatial Audio when playing music and Dolby Atmos support when playing videos.

The three-mic array with directional beamforming features Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum modes to capture clean audio, allowing your voice to come through loud and clear.
