SUPERCHARGED WITH M3
Apple’s M3 chip represents a significant leap in processing power, promising enhanced performance and efficiency. According to one report, the M3 chip offers speeds that are up to 60 percent faster than its M1-equipped predecessor and an incredible 13 times faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air model. The inclusion of this chip in both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro has sparked curiosity and excitement, setting the scene for a head-to-head comparison that delves into every aspect of these innovative machines. The best part? With the MacBook Air, the M3 is an accessible chip for users and professionals, offering an alternative to Windows and HP laptops.
The M3 MacBook Air, known for its affordability and versatility, is available in two sizes, catering to a broad spectrum of users. The 13-inch model, priced at $1,099, offers an 8-core CPU and GPU coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. For those requiring more screen real estate, the 15-inch variant starts at $1,299, maintaining the same core specifications.
There has been some criticism of Apple over the base model specs with many suggesting that the company should offer more RAM on the entry-level machines, but for the majority of users who have a Mac to browse the web and do some light video editing, the base specifications should be more than enough. In contrast, the M3 MacBook Pro, available in a 14-inch model, starts at $1,599. This model enhances the graphical capabilities with a 10core GPU and doubles the storage to 512GB. Like the Air, it starts with 8GB of RAM, but given its professional-oriented design, users might find upgrading to 16GB for an additional $200 a worthwhile investment.
