The Apple MacBook Air 13 M3 10C GPU (MacBook Air 13 M3 Series) 256GB / 16GB is Apple's 2024 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 11.3 x 304.1 x 215 ( = 0.44 x 11.97 x 8.46 in) display, the Apple M3 8c/8t, 4 x 4.1 GHz Apple M3 P-Core, 4 x 2.7 GHz Apple M3 E-Core, 21 W PL2 / Short Burst, 10.5 W PL1 / Sustained chipset. At AED 3,499 in the UAE and ₹84,900 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The MacBook Air 13 M3 excels with its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU delivering sustained 15W GPU performance without a fan, paired with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM that handles multitasking and light creative work smoothly. Battery life reaches 18 hours on local video playback, unmatched by any Windows ultrabook. It’s built for writers, students, and remote workers who need all-day mobility, silent operation, and macOS’s optimized workflow for web, docs, and media. The 256GB SSD is slow for large file transfers—read speeds cap at ~2.1GB/s, lagging behind 1TB models. Ports are limited to two USB4/Thunderbolt, no HDMI or SD card slot. In UAE at AED 3499, it’s good value because no other fanless laptop matches its efficiency and display quality. In India at ₹84900, it’s overpriced—equivalent Windows laptops with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and better ports cost ₹70000–₹78000, offering more flexibility for the same core performance.
