On March 8th, the MacBook Air 2024 officially hit the shelves, with a starting price of 8999 CNY on the Apple website. It comes in two sizes, 13-inch and 15-inch, and offers four color options including Midnight, Stardust, Deep Space Gray, and Silver.

On the launch day, this laptop was listed on Pinduoduo's billion-yuan subsidy channel with an initial selling price of 7499 CNY, which is 1500 CNY cheaper than the Apple website. faec23f6-3898-4f77-a90d-85ab9817809d.jpg The highlight of this notebook is its new M3 chip, built on TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm process, making it the industry's first 3nm PC processor.

In the latter half of last year, the MacBook Pro series led the way with the M3 chip upgrade, and now the entire MacBook lineup has entered the era of 3nm technology.

It's worth noting that the integrated M3 processor varies in configuration; the high-end version features an 8-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine, while the base model with 8GB+256GB configuration has a reduced GPU count of 8.

According to official statements, aided by the M3 chip, the new MacBook Air boasts a battery life of up to 18 hours. s_cbc59f68aa104e4f99c69ab6fe4b0454.jpg
