Before we go any further, let's pour one out for last year’s 15-inch reimagining of the MacBook Air. Here we are in March 2024 with an all-new 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip in our hands, seeing the M2 debut of the oversized Air discontinued just about eight months after it first hit shelves. It was a great machine, but coming so long after the initial launch of the M2 chip, there was the sense that an M3 version of the 15-inch MacBook Air wouldn’t be that far off, and probably was where Apple’s best effort went.
And here we are! The M3 MacBook Air lands with a near-identical look to its predecessor but with a few performance and feature improvements facilitated by that new M3 chip.
