Washington, March 05 (QNA) - Apple announced that it will discontinue the MacBook Air with the M1 processor chip after launching the new M3 processor chip.

According to the company, the new MacBook Air models come with 13-inch and 15-inch screen sizes and are up to 60% faster than the model with Apple's M1 processor, and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air.

These devices are considered the best laptops for AI, thanks to the new neural engine in the processor.

With a faster and more efficient Neural Engine in M3, MacBook Air continues to be the world's best consumer laptop for AI.

The 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air both feature a strikingly thin and light design, up to 18 hours of battery life, a stunning Liquid Retina display, and new capabilities, including support for up to two external displays and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi than the previous generation.

MacBook Air has a durable aluminum enclosure, with world-class camera, mics, and speakers.

The company had launched MacBook Air with M1 processor at the end of 2020, one of the first devices to carry Apple Silicone processors. (QNA)
