This means you can expect smoother multitasking and improved app performance, allowing you to run multiple applications seamlessly.
Whether you're a professional needing to juggle tasks or a casual user enjoying your favorite apps, this change is likely to be a welcome boost. While the RAM upgrade is significant, the overall design and features of the MacBook Air models haven’t changed much. Both the M2 and M3 versions still sport the beautiful 13.
6-inch Liquid Retina display, known for its vibrant colors and sharp images, along with a peak brightness of 500 nits. Storage options vary, with the M3 model offering a generous 512GB SSD, while the M2 starts at 256GB, providing plenty of room for your files, apps, and media. WHAAAAAAT!!! Why did I not notice tihs right away??? Apple upgraded the previous M2 and M3 MacBook Air to start with 16GB at the SAME price.

Plus, the MacBook Air is available in stylish colors—Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Space Gray—so you can pick a model that suits your personal taste. Since the launch of the latest MacBook Air models featuring the M3 chip back in March, excitement has been palpable among tech fans and everyday users. Doubling the RAM while keeping the price the same is a testament to Apple’s dedication to improving user experience without breaking the bank.
Thankfully Apple finally made 16GB ram the standard entry for all models. I would recomend to anyone looking for a great laptop to buy the M2 or M3 Macbook Air for $999-$1,099. It's a great deal now.
But until my M1 Macbook dies, I can't justify upgrading as it works so well. pic.twitter.
