MacBook Air M3 vs MacBook Air M1: Should you upgrade?

MacBook Air 15-inch M3 on desk.

The MacBook Air comes in two sizes, each packing the company's M3 chip. Both the MacBook Air 13-inch M3 and MacBook Air 15-inch M3 deliver the fastest performance for the line while retaining the ultraportable design we've come to expect. And now that the most recent models start with 16GB of RAM, Apple's popular laptops are better than ever.

Though it had a good run, the MacBook Air M1 is officially dead as the company no longer sells it on its online store. Apple’s most affordable laptop has occupied a spot on our best MacBooks and best laptops lists since it was released in 2020 due to the value it offered. With the MacBook Air M2 now at $999 and also starting with 16GB of RAM, it seems there’s no room for the M1 MacBook Air.
