The Apple MacBook Air M3 is excellent for school use. It feels incredibly well-built, and thanks to its compact design, it's easy to carry around. Overall, it provides a great user experience with a sharp, bright display, a spacious keyboard, and a large, haptic touchpad. Its M3 SoC can handle general productivity tasks like text processing, web browsing, and video playback. You can perform more demanding tasks like video editing, programming, and 3D graphics, but you might not get the smoothest experience if the material is highly complex. Battery life is amazing at around 12 to 13 hours of light use. Unfortunately, it only has two USB-C ports, and while it can output to two external displays—an upgrade over its M2 predecessor—it can only do so with the laptop closed.
