I got the 13” Starlight M3 16/512 as an upgrade from my 2015 12” MacBook and the difference in all aspects is amazing, the screen seems so much bigger and the battery life is really good. Worthy upgrade.

Waiting for mine to arrive it replaces a 2012 intel Air which has been retired.
I had been saving up for it so i decided to go 13 in midnight with 16gb and 512 ssd it will be a big upgrade for sure.

I've watched like 10+ different videos regarding the midnight, starlight, silver etc and your video had the best comparison and spec comparison to previous gens. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video 🙌🏻
I’m in a dilemma on whether to get MacBook Air M3 15inch or
iMac 2023 24inch.
I don’t know whether 8gb would be enough for studying/ppt/excel/web browsing etc. Will be waiting for the comparison video🙌🏻😀

Silver is the all time classic, great review Brandon ! So, can we say that the Read/Write Speeds on the 256GB SSD have improved come to the M2 Air ?

you saved me a trip to the store. I know which one to get now. Thank you!

Hello! It is a bit out of context but I really liked the desktop wallpaper you were using in this video. Is there any link for it, would it be possible for you to share it if it is okay? Thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!

I have M2 Air 13 inch 2022 model and I have voice isolation and wide spectrum mic modes exactly like this M3, so you were wrong by saying previous Air models did not have that. That midnight color looks exactly like mine as well. Great review anyways.

Great review! Those computers are so simple to set up! I had thought about switching to Mac desktop, but the IT guy that I have known for a long time said to stick with windows. I also asked a friend of mine who is graphic design, and he said the same thing. I’m pretty simple on my computer. I just browse the web to email to Microsoft office and that is it. What products do you think Apple will launch Nexxt before the Apple iPad Pro and iPad Air launch? I am saving my money for a new iPad. I’ve had my current iPad for five years and it’s starting to show its age. I did try to use it as a computer for a few days when I was waiting on my new desktop to be delivered, but it did not do what I was hoping it would. There’s a big difference between using the desktop version of a website versus the mobile version. The same thing with the Microsoft suite of office applications.

I bought the 13 in MacBook Air m3 in starlight. It was hard to decide between the 13in and 15in. I have a 2017 MacBook Air (intel). I’ve seen that these MacBooks are smaller than the one I currently have. I just hope it’s not as small as it looks.

Great video! My favorite is also midnight blue. Regarding the screen size, for video editors, nothing beats an external screen (or two) anyway, so I would definitely go with the 13 inch with 16gb RAM.

I went for the classic silver and also spect it up to 16GB memory and 512GB storage, but I got the 13“ rather than the 15 for maximum portability.

Great that dual monitor support was brought to the MacBook Air and will be coming to the base m3 macbook pro. I understand the software limitations of not being able to run two monitors and the built in display at the same time, but why must the lid be closed? I own an apple vision pro and when I use mac virtual display it blacks out my screen but I can keep using the trackpad and keyboard. Why not do the same thing for the m3 air and pro? Black out the laptop screen if connected to two external monitors but don't require the lid to be closed. That way people can still use the keyboard and trackpad and don't need to get an external keyboard and mouse. Seems like an easy software change.

Still don’t know what the accelerometer is used for/why the Pro doesn’t have it (or does the M2/M3 have it now?).
Hopefully the increased use of recycled materials doesn’t mean no more New MacBook Smell (if it is in fact just from the materials and not a secret spray they put on).

One of my friends bought the 15 inch M2 MacBook Air when it first came out. They still have it. my friend said it was her first purchase of a MacBook since 2012.

Can you tell the wifi speed and range difference made by the wifi6e?

You only need the ram if you’re a developer running containers/vms or make heavy use of the graphics imo
