The MacBook Air M3 is great (but we still love the M2 Air)

Apple’s updated MacBook Air laptops are finally here, and they sport shiny new M3 chips. This week, Cherlynn talks to Devindra about his review of the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air M3. They’re faster, as we expected, but they’re also not a huge jump over the M2 MacBook Air, which now starts at $999. (And we’re sure you’ll soon find some great deals on refurbished and used.) No matter which one you choose, though, you’re getting one of the most stunning ultraportable notebooks on the market. In other news, we discuss Apple’s nearly $2 billion EU fine, Microsoft’s upcoming Surface AI event, and the death of Android apps on Windows 11.
