It’s been about 4 years since Apple began switching over to its new Apple Silicon chip designs in its newest products, and the M3 chip is said to be its strongest yet, reportedly operating 60 percent faster than the M1 chip-powered MacBook Air launched in 2020. In addition to that, the laptops are said to feature durable aluminum bodies, the latest Wi-Fi technology, powerful Liquid Retina displays, and around 18 hours of battery life on a single charge.

With the new M3 MacBook Airs set to launch next week, Apple fans won’t be waiting long to be able to get their hands on them. For more Apple news and updates, stay tuned to the topic as we cover the company’s latest reveals.
