MacBook Air with M3: What’s New?
The most noteworthy upgrade in the M3 MacBook Air is its powerhouse chip. With the M3, users can now connect up to two external displays on a MacBook Air for the first time—a feature previously only available on higher-end models. Apple’s new chip also supports hardware-accelerated ray-tracing, taking 3D graphics on the MacBook Air to new heights. Combined, these upgrades make the M3 MacBook Air a versatile option for creative professionals and tech enthusiasts alike.
In addition to Space Gray and Silver, the M3 models come in Starlight, a soft champagne shade, and Midnight, a deep, almost black blue. Apple claims that these new finishes are designed with a fresh anodization seal to minimize fingerprint visibility, making them as practical as they are stylish.
Wallpapers to Complement Every Color
To match each unique color, Apple has designed four distinct wallpapers that come pre-installed on both M2 and M3 MacBook Air models. For those who aren’t planning to upgrade—or simply don’t want to wait—these wallpapers are now available for download. Each design showcases colored shapes that, from a distance, form the word “Air,” blending simplicity with Apple’s signature artistic style.
