M3 MacBook Air preorders live now — here’s how to get the latest MacBook on the release date
On March 4, 2024, Apple unleashed a surprise press release — M3-powered MacBook Airs are on the way. The biggest surprise of the whole thing? It’s only a few days until you can slip one into your bag.
The M3 MacBook Air is available to preorder now, for delivery on Friday, March 8th. That’s not far away at all, although if you want to make sure you can get your hands on one as soon and as close to the release date as possible, then you’ll want to preorder.
There are a few ways to preorder the M3 MacBook Air, in both its 13 and 15-inch sizes. The first is to head over to the Apple website, where you’ll find preorders live now. There are other places you can preorder as well, with a number of third-party retailers putting the newest MacBook Air up for order.

The new MacBook Air brings the much-lauded M3 chip to the thin and light line, replacing the M2 models from yesteryear. If you’re looking for a visual update with the latest MacBook you’re going to be out of luck — all of the improvements come with the M3 chip rather than with new design features.
That new chip is a doozy, however, trouncing the M1 and outperforming the M2 in all computing tasks. Gaming is 60% faster than the M1, for a start, and there are more performance gains across the board. It’s a very powerful chip that lies at the heart of the new M3 MacBook Air, and it makes it a great update opportunity for old Intel Mac users and those who rock an M1-powered machine.
