The M3 Air runs cool enough to skip a fan entirely, so it stays silent under everyday load. Battery life still stretches past a full working day, and the 13.6-inch display is bright enough for a cafe window seat.
- Fanless M3 chip that stays silent under everyday load
- Up to 18 hours of real-world battery
- 1.24 kg chassis that disappears into a bag
- Liquid Retina display at 500 nits
