World’s Best Consumer Laptop for AI
With the transition to Apple silicon, every Mac® is a great
platform for AI. M3 includes a faster and more efficient 16-core
Neural Engine, along with accelerators in the CPU and GPU to boost
on-device machine learning, making MacBook Air the world’s best
consumer laptop for AI. Leveraging this incredible AI performance,
macOS delivers intelligent features that enhance productivity and
creativity, so users can enable powerful camera features, real-time
speech to text, translation, text predictions, visual
understanding, accessibility features, and much more.
With a broad ecosystem of apps that deliver advanced AI
features, users can do everything from checking their homework with
AI Math Assistance in Goodnotes 6, to automatically enhancing
photos in Pixelmator Pro, to removing background noise from a video
using CapCut. Combined with the unified memory architecture of
Apple silicon, MacBook Air can also run optimized AI models,
including large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models for
image generation locally with great performance. In addition to
on-device performance, MacBook Air supports cloud-based solutions,
enabling users to run powerful productivity and creative apps that
tap into the power of AI, such as Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft
365, Canva, and Adobe Firefly.
World’s Most Popular Laptop
More people choose MacBook Air over any other laptop, and M3
raises the bar yet again with its phenomenal combination of
performance, portability, and capabilities users love:
- Two perfect sizes in a super-portable design: With a durable
aluminum enclosure that’s built to last, the 13- and 15-inch
MacBook Air have fantastic battery life, are incredibly light, and
are less than half an inch thin, so users can work, play, or create
from anywhere. The 13-inch model provides the ultimate in
portability, while the 15-inch model offers even more screen real
estate for multitasking. There’s a perfect size for everyone, from
students on the go to business professionals who prefer a larger
screen.
- Gorgeous Liquid Retina display: MacBook Air features a
brilliant 13.6- or 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with up to 500

which delivers download speeds that are up to twice as fast as the
previous generation. It also includes MagSafe charging and two

The Magic of macOS
Together with macOS, the MacBook Air experience is
unrivaled:
- macOS Sonoma: Users can now place widgets right on the desktop,
interact with them with just a click, and even access the extensive
ecosystem of iPhone® widgets on MacBook Air. Video conferencing
gets more engaging with great features like Presenter Overlay and
Reactions. Profiles in Safari® keep browsing separate between
multiple topics or projects, while web apps provide faster access
to favorite websites. And gaming gets even better with Game
Mode.

seamlessly across iPhone and other Apple devices. Features like
AirDrop® allow users to share and receive photos, documents, and
more across nearby Apple devices. Universal Clipboard lets users
easily copy images, video, or text from an app on one Apple device,
and effortlessly paste them into another app on a nearby Mac.
Continuity Camera makes it easy for users to scan or take a picture
of something nearby with their iPhone and have it appear instantly
on their Mac. And Handoff® lets them start a task like answering an
email on one Apple device and easily finish it on another.
- Wide array of apps: MacBook Air comes with powerful apps built
in, including FaceTime, Freeform®, iMovie®, GarageBand®, and
Photos, as well as productivity apps including Pages®, Numbers®,
and Keynote®, making it easy for users to create amazing work. And
with thousands of apps optimized for Apple silicon, all of users’
go-to apps run incredibly fast in macOS — including Microsoft 365
and many of their favorite iOS apps.
Better for the Environment
The new MacBook Air is the first Apple product to be made with
50 percent recycled content, including 100 percent recycled
aluminum in the enclosure, 100 percent recycled rare earth elements

recycled copper in the main logic board. MacBook Air meets Apple’s
high standards for energy efficiency, and is free of mercury,

manufacturing supply chain and the life cycle of every product.
