Definition: MacBook Air


Launched in 2008, the Air has been Apple's lightest, thinnest MacBook, although the Neo is also similar (see MacBook Neo). In 2023, a 15" model debuted, which is the largest screen on an Air laptop. A year later, the Air debuted with Apple's M3 chip, giving it a huge boost in horsepower, which has only increased with new M chips.

An M-based Air supports two external monitors, making it a more versatile desktop computer and still very lightweight for traveling. In addition, the M series chips include a neural processing unit (NPU) for AI processing. See MacBook and Apple M series.
