15" MacBook Air M3 8cCPU/10cGPU/256GB/16GB Starlight

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, you can take the super‑portable MacBook Air anywhere and blaze through whatever you’re into.

Designed to go places.

Super‑light and just over 11 millimetres thin, the MacBook Air fits easily into your life and is built with the planet in mind. MacBook Air with M3 is made with 50 per cent recycled materials — an Apple first. And all MacBook Air laptops have a durable recycled aluminium 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.

MacBook Air with M3 leverages the incredible AI performance of the Neural Engine 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 Pixelmator Pro, to removing background noise from a video using CapCut.

A battery that lasts 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.

Let’s be clear. It’s brilliant.

The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a sight to behold, with support for 1 billion colours and up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears super-crisp for easy reading.

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.
