More than four months after unveiling the M3 chip in the new 14-inch MacBook Pro (fave.co/43KC21r), Apple has finally updated the other laptops in its family, the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air. The new machines are essentially a specifications bump that should make buying a laptop a simpler process.

Apple's three plain-Jane M3 machines range in price from $1,099 to $1,599, and this time around you won't need to be a computer scientist to figure out which one to buy. Here's how the pricing breaks down at the simplest level:

> M3 MacBook Air, 13-inch, 8-core CPU/8-core GPU, 256GB: $1,099

> M3 MacBook Air, 13-inch, 8-core CPU/10-core GPU, 512GB: $1,299

> M3 MacBook Air, 15-inch, 8-core CPU/10-core GPU, 256GB: $1,299

> M3 MacBook Pro, 14-inch: 8-core CPU/10-core GPU, 512GB: $1,599
