Though the powerful chip and AI functionality of the new lineup of M3 MacBook Air computers are certainly headline-worthy, Apple has finally fixed one of the range’s long-suffering problems — making it less likely to attract fingerprint marks on its most smudge-prone color.
If you’re a fan of the Midnight MacBook Air but worried about how vulnerable it is to fingerprint smudges, Apple’s M3 MacBook Air press release announced “a breakthrough anodization seal” that will reduce the visibility of such marks. Curiously, this seems to only get applied to the Midnight models but, as someone who purchased the Silver M1 MacBook Air in 2020, I’ve never had a fingerprint problem so this distinction makes some sense.
