Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The newest 13-inch and 15-inch M3 MacBook Air models went official earlier this month, and just now, the smaller version has $100 shaved off on its retail price, as it is going for $999 on Amazon for the base model, making it the lowest price ever. Those anticipating a future discount made the right decision by being patient because they get to save a decent chunk of change from their purchase. Coming to the specifications, the Midnight version of the M3 MacBook Air offers 8GB of unified RAM, and 256GB of NVMe storage. Unfortunately, both cannot be upgraded, so you […]
One major advantage for productivity buffs wanting the 13-inch or 15-inch M3 MacBook Air as their daily driver was that they could attach two external monitors instead of one, but that is only possible when any one of these models was being used in clamshell mode, or in other words, with the lid closed. However, a recent stress test shows that you can lose nearly half of the portable Mac’s original performance in this mode, which will make everyone wonder if the trade-off is worth the extra monitor support. With the lid opened, the M3 MacBook Air can lose around 30 […]
Apple’s latest M3 MacBook Air family retains the same exterior chassis and internal configurations as the previous models, but with ‘Right to Repair’ advocates breathing down the company’s neck, it was able to introduce one meaningful change to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models, and that is the effortless removal of the battery. Unfortunately, beyond that, the latest teardown of the portable Macs shows that Apple has yet to learn its lesson on making repairs and disassembly easier, but at least getting inside did not seem like an ordeal as it did with the Apple Vision Pro teardown. No adhesive […]
Apple launched the new M3 MacBook Air lineup last week with a boatload of front-facing upgrades on the inside. While the external design and form factor remain the same, the machines house significant performance upgrades compared to the previous versions. If you are on the verge of buying a new MacBook Air with an M1, M2, or M3 chip, there are several things that you need to consider before choosing the right option for your needs and budget. What aspects must you consider before choosing the suitable MacBook Air model? While Apple has discontinued the M1 MacBook Air, you can […]
Apple likely annoyed a large percentage of the technology community when it was found out that the M2 MacBook Air featured just a single NAND flash chip, resulting in slower SSD speeds. Thankfully, the company has addressed this issue with the latest M3 MacBook Air models, as both 13-inch and 15-inch versions sport two NAND flash chips, resulting in higher read and write speeds. The new M3 MacBook Air can achieve up to an impressive 82 percent improvement in SSD speeds, according to the latest tests Only after the YouTube channel Max Tech performed a teardown of the M3 MacBook […]
Apple recently launched the 13-inch and 15-inch versions of the M3 MacBook Air family, which only means that it will get even more daunting to pick which model you require as your daily driver. For those who do not know, there is also a higher-end M3 MacBook Pro with more features than the newest duo, but it is also a little more expensive. Then again, being pricier is a subjective outlook because we are not here to compare price tags but to inform readers on which portable Mac offers the best value. This is why we have compiled this detailed […]
Apple continues to employ a fan-less cooling design for 13-inch and 15-inch M3 MacBook Air models, and while that means users will be pleased about the completely silent operation, they will lose out on a ton of performance. The M3 MacBook Pro, which sports a single fan, can offer significantly improved sustained performance while touting the same SoC, as demonstrated in a series of tests. It is also worth mentioning that the M3 MacBook Air gets uncomfortably toasty, which we hope Apple can address in future iterations. For quick performance bursts, the M3 MacBook Air can perform faster than the […]
The M3 MacBook Air offers little internal changes compared to its direct predecessor, but now, Apple’s latest chip is not only mass produced on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm architecture but also supports technologies such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing. However, how do all of these improvements translate into gaming performance? The short story is that while the newest MacBook Air can become somewhat of a portable gaming machine, it is best to keep expectations realistic, according to the latest framerate numbers shared. AAA gaming is only possible on the M3 MacBook Air while turning down the resolution and visuals preset The base […]
Apple's M3 upgrade for the MacBook Air lineup brings major performance gains on the machines, according to the benchmarks. While benchmarks only show performance on paper, the real-world experience could be quite different. Apple's pre-orders for the M3 MacBook Air will begin tomorrow as the company has released some units to reviewers. If you are still making a decision about whether to upgrade to the latest model or not, check out the reviews and unboxing videos ahead of the official launch of the machines. Apple's M3 MacBook Air reviews: Faster performance meets the same design but with essential upgrades Apple […]
The 15-inch version of the M3 MacBook Air was recently tested through Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core run, with the latest portable Mac up to 20 percent faster than its direct predecessor. Now, the OpenCL scores have been tested on the same model, with the results about what you expect, as they remain unchanged compared to what was obtained by Apple’s more expensive MacBook Pro that launched last year. M3 MacBook Air appears to be a better value by performing similarly to the MacBook Pro, but there are underlying changes that need to be discussed The 10-core GPU of the […]
Apple was expected to announce the new M3 MacBook Air models alongside the OLED iPad Pro later this month. However, the company saw fit to introduce the M3 MacBook Air via press release yesterday, which came with a plethora of upgrades from the previous version. Now, early benchmarks of the new MacBook Air with an M3 chip have surfaced online, showcasing the performance gains it will bring to the table from the M2 chip. M3 chip in MacBook Air is roughly 20 percent faster than the M2 MacBook Air The Geekbench results of the M3 MacBook Air were discovered by […]
The new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models sporting Apple’s new M3 chipset have a trick up their sleeve that will turn them into portable and productive machines. Instead of supporting just one external display, both of the company’s notebooks can support up to two monitors. However, there is one tweak that you need to perform before you can actually get multiple monitors running on either one of the new MacBook Air models. The new MacBook Air models need to have their lids closed otherwise the multi-monitor setup will not work as originally intended Similar to the more expensive 14-inch […]
