M3 comes to Apple's best laptop

MacBook Air gets worthy updates.

Apple's best notebook for most people just got a very nice update.

The MacBook Air is the finest everyman computer the company makes. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s the world’s most popular laptop, according to Apple.

Today, Apple quietly updated both models (13-inch and 15-inch) with speedier M3 chips, much faster Wi-Fi and a beefed-up Neural Engine that’ll play well with AI updates widely tipped to arrive on macOS and other Apple software later this year.
