Both the 13- and 15-inch ultra-light laptops have never been more powerful, but they're also too similar to the previous MacBook Airs with M2.
If I had to think of the tech I’ve used most often in my day-to-day, I wouldn’t usually consider my phone first. If I ruminate long and hard enough, considering the number of person-hours that go into my work, I would consider my 13-inch M1-powered MacBook Air as my go-to device, like my oft-beleaguered, put-upon sidekick. I’ve used a lot of laptops just at the start of this year, but in terms of pure productivity, I find myself casting longing glances at the old lightweight standby laptop.
If you want to do any graphically intense task in the Air, you should opt for the larger laptop. Apple wants to directly compare its baseline M3 to the power and power consumption of the latest-generation Intel Core i7 processors. Apple sets its prices for its products without much eye to competitive pricing, and the M-series chips will easily beat lower-costed i7-based laptops on pure benchmarks, depending on the make and model of the CPU.
