Our Verdict

Apple MacBook Air 13 (2022)

Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024)

The Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024) is the direct successor to the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2022). The 2024 model only has a few upgrades, including a slightly faster M3 SoC, Wi-Fi 6E, and support for two external displays, though the latter is only possible with the laptop closed. Apple's M3 SoC also brings new features, like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AV1 decoding. Battery life is better on the M3 model, especially for video playback.
