If you're looking for a laptop that's light and thin for maximum portability, has superb build quality, excellent battery life, and a fantastic looking screen then the 2024 iteration of the MacBook Air is the perfect choice. Although this year it's faced stiff opposition from the latest (7th) gen Microsoft Surface Laptop, it's still probably number one for us, particularly when it comes to the audio quality of the speakers and its general stability.

The 2024 iteration of the MacBook Air comes with the new M3 chip, built on a more advanced 3nm process, offering enhanced performance and energy efficiency compared to the M2. This results in faster processing speeds for multitasking and demanding applications, as well as better battery life: we're talking around 15 hours on battery saving mode - very nice indeed. The M3 also introduces a next-generation GPU architecture with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, delivering superior graphics performance for creative tasks like video editing or 3D modeling. Additionally, the 2024 model includes support for increased memory bandwidth, which improves overall system responsiveness, and an updated display with higher brightness levels for improved visibility outdoors or in well lit interiors.
