M3 chip and memory
Apple lists the M3 in the MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight with an 8-core CPU (4 performance and 4 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine and 100 GB/s memory bandwidth. This unit has 16GB of unified memory, which Apple offers as a configuration alongside 8GB and 24GB.
Storage is a 512GB SSD. Apple offers the 15-inch M3 with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB or 2TB.
Display, camera and sound
The 15.3-inch LED-backlit display runs at 2880 × 1864 (224 ppi) with 500 nits of brightness and support for 1 billion colours, according to Apple. The camera is a 1080p FaceTime HD camera.
The MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight has a six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers, which supports Spatial Audio with compatible AirPods.
Battery and charging
Apple rates the 66.5 Wh battery at up to 18 hours of Apple TV app movie playback or up to 15 hours of wireless web. Apple includes a 35 W dual USB-C port compact power adapter, and a 70 W USB-C adapter, sold separately, enables fast charging.
The MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight charges over MagSafe 3, which leaves both Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports free.
Ports and external displays
The MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight has a MagSafe 3 port, two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
With the lid open it drives one external display at up to 6K and 60 Hz. With the lid closed, Apple lists a second external display at up to 5K and 60 Hz, so two monitors only work in clamshell mode.
Size and weight
Apple lists the MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight at 1.15 cm thick, 34.04 cm wide and 23.76 cm deep, with a weight of 1.51 kg. That is noticeably larger than the 13-inch Air, so check your bag before ordering.
Who the MacBook Air M3 15 Starlight is not for
It is not for anyone who wants two external monitors while also using the laptop screen, because the second display only works with the lid closed. It is not for anyone who needs HDMI or an SD card slot built in.
It is also not for anyone who wants the newest chip or a 12MP Center Stage camera. The MacBook Air 13 M4 has the newer M4 chip and a 12MP Center Stage camera in a smaller body.

Apple offers the 15-inch M3 in Silver, Starlight, Space Gray and Midnight. This page is for Starlight with 16GB and 512GB. Also in stock: Midnight 512GB and Silver 256GB. You can browse all our laptops too.
