The MacBook Air is a line of Mac laptops made by Apple. In 2020, Apple stopped using Intel processors in the Air and switched to using their own Apple silicon M-series chips. In the current product line, the MacBook Air is Apple's mid-level laptop, situated above the MacBook Neo and below the MacBook Pro. It is currently sold with 13-inch and 15-inch screens.
Apple released the MacBook Air with the Apple M1 system on a chip in November 2020. A redesigned model based on the Apple M2 chip was released in July 2022, and the first 15-inch MacBook Air was released in June 2023. In March 2024, Apple introduced M3 chip-equipped MacBook Airs in both their 13- and 15-inch sizes.
