Both models feature Apple’s M3 chip which brings substantial performance improvements over its predecessors. The M3 chip features an 8-core processor with four high-efficiency cores and four high-performance cores as well as an integrated GPU with up to 10 cores. This translates to up to 60% faster performance compared to the M1 chip and up to 13x faster than previous Intel-based MacBook Air models.

18 hours of battery life

The MacBook Air’s famous battery life remains impressive, providing up to 18 hours of use on a single charge. This longevity and the power efficiency of the M3 chip make these laptops perfect for users who need reliable performance throughout the day without constantly searching for a power outlet. Other notable features include the backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for secure and convenient authentication, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera for crisp video calls, and a four-speaker sound system with support for Spatial Audio. The laptops also come with two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and a MagSafe 3 charging port, providing versatility for various connectivity needs.

The sleek design of the MacBook Air remains unchanged from its predecessor, with the 13-inch model available in Midnight/Space Grey/Starlight/Silver and the 15-inch in Midnight/Space Grey/Starlight/Silver as well. Both feature the iconic thin and light form factor that has made the MacBook Air a favorite among students and professionals.

At the start of Black Friday, Amazon is extending its returns policy, which is great for you: you’ll have until January 31, 2025 to return these items, which is a significant extension over the standard 30-day window. This extended returns period is ideal if you’re buying Christmas gifts, as it gives you plenty of time to test out their new devices and return them if necessary, even after the holiday season.
