Lets find out!

Just sticking with the M1 until it blows up.

Looks beautiful. I still love the M1 Air you talked me into buying! Thanks for sharing!

As someone upgrading from a 2019 intel macbook, the difference is insane. Love it.

I upgraded to a 15-in M3 MacBook Air from a base model M1 MacBook Air, I opted for the Midnight colour with 512 GB storage and 16 GB memory. I also opted for the 70 W single port charger rather than the dual-port 35 W version. It's very impressive (apart from Midnight being a fingerprint magnet!) and I believe the audio output is better than the 13-in model due to having 6 speakers compared to 4 on the smaller model. The screen size is excellent and plenty bright for my usage, i rarely use it in bright sunlight. The 1080p webcam's capability surprised me, I'd used other brand USB 1080p webcams and they were not as sharp or bright.

Happy for you Gary. I'm a non-graphics, non-gaming guy. I LOVE my M1 MBP 14" and figure I don't have to upgrade it for another 5+ years! Have had dual monitor support since day one and got a refurbished model soon after initial release. But having dual monitor support on the Air is a REALLY good update for people needing that feature!

I took your advice from a couple months ago and got a base model 15” MBA with the M2 in it. I was waiting til they announced the m3 to see what kind of deal I could get on the M2. Welp, last weekend Best Buy was selling them brand new for $999!!! So yeah, I got the 15” in Starlight and I love it! 256GB of storage and 8GB of memory isn’t great but for what I need this laptop is perfect! BB even was selling the 512GB version for $1199 but $999 for this thing was just too good to pass on. Luckily I don’t use any external monitors so the M3 does nothing for me personally. Thanks for the recommendation!

They did it. They sold you the same machine 3 times in a row

[OscarArzabe]

I would like to see the comparison between the base model M3 and a specced-up M2, with more RAM/Storage.

Agreed it is not only my favorite laptop ... I think it's the best laptop EVER designed. In the future I will replace my M1 Mac mini AND my M2 MacBook Air ... with a new Air and just have the one Mac from now on. As you said, you can plug it into multiple monitors and you have a true desktop class setup.

DisplayLink in MacOS seems to work pretty well for using multiple monitors with unsupported MacBooks.

[JulianFernandez]

M1 Pro still my daily driver. Awesome computer.

[vladmihai]

amazing, two screens :)) lol, you have to close the laptop to use that. what a feature!

I was considering m3 MBA but decided to get the M3 14 in Macbook pro Apple refurbished with 16 GB ram and 512 ssd for $ 1376 cheaper and better

I've been waiting for your video on the M3 MacBook Air. Finally 🎉🎉

I'm still using my 13" Intel Macbook Pro (2017) and looking to finally upgrade this year. What I noticed is that right now, at least where I live, the 14" MBP M1 Pro and 13" Macbook Air M3 are the same price with the same configuration (16GB memory, 512GB SSD). Between the two, which one would you recommend more?

[jespercarlsen]

Awesome that you showed it dock in with two monitors over a single TB cable! Cheers!

[Robfnord]

Surely you can still just use displaylink for more displays, I have 4 displays on my m2 Mac mini, 1 hdmi, 1 usb c-> dp and usb ->dual 4K displaylink adapter, this gives me 3 1440p displays and a 4K tv, all runs great

[HeroShotz]

Just got this macbook and its my first mac ever 🎉🎉🎉. Now to learn how to use it lol.

[HorrorFanatic]

I read all of that. I know most people don't but you might just need to read it all. I just got mine and I am obsessed. For it being sort of big it is light.The sound quality is amazing. I was watching a movie and had to turn it down. I am pretty impressed with the keyboard. I will definitely never ever buy another laptop.

I have been using a 2014 MacBook Air since new. Just ordered a MacBook Air - M3 - 16GB - 512! I can’t wait haha
