And today that&#8217;s happened. There are still no new iPads in sight, but the company has taken the wraps off its newest MacBook Air laptops &#8211; a 13-incher and a 15&#8243; one. These are very important products for Apple, as the 13&#8243; MacBook Air is the world&#8217;s best selling laptop, and the 15&#8243; model is the world&#8217;s best selling 15-inch laptop.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/03\/macbook-air-m3-announced\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Apple unveils new 13'' and 15'' MacBook Air with M3 chip\"\/><\/p>\n<p>They both use Apple&#8217;s M3 chip, making them &#8220;up to 60%&#8221; faster than the model with the M1 chip and &#8220;up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air&#8221; from a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Retina Display has up to 500 nits of brightness, support for 1 billion colors, support for up to two external displays (when the lid is closed), and &#8220;up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/03\/macbook-air-m3-announced\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"Apple unveils new 13'' and 15'' MacBook Air with M3 chip\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The laptops have up to 18 hours of battery life, Wi-Fi 6E, two Thunderbolt ports, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, a three-mic array, speakers with support for Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos, and Touch ID. They are available in four colors: midnight, pictured below (featuring &#8220;a breakthrough anodization seal to reduce fingerprints), starlight, space gray, and silver.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/03\/macbook-air-m3-announced\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_003.jpg\" alt=\"Apple unveils new 13'' and 15'' MacBook Air with M3 chip\"\/><\/p>\n<p>They will be available on Friday, March 8, with pre-orders opening today in 28 countries. The 13&#8243; MacBook Air starts at $1,099, and the 15&#8243; model at $1,299.
