Nine months after Apple first introduced the 15-inch MacBook Air, its successor is here – and this time it’s not only £100 cheaper than before to start, but it also comes with an Apple silicon M3 chip on board. Updated alongside the 13-inch MacBook Air (see p78), the new model promises to be 60% faster than the M1 MacBook Air (2020) and 13 times faster than the last of the Intel-powered MacBook Air models, making it quite the upgrade.
