it's fine. i still have mine that was bought when they were new. I don't feel even slightly like i'm slumming it yet.call me crazy but I just buy a used MacBook Pro with M1 Pro
(though something lighter would be nice...)

And the MBA M1ers too it seems.So us MBA M2ers are basically safe.
On device AI though, which is nice.Apple too has jumped on the AI bandwagon " World's best Consumer Laptop for AI"
Ah, fair enough.Two with the lid closed...😂
Apple specs says the same thing, so they are apparently also asleep.Please go drink some coffee. Lol. I think you are still asleep.
yeah that is odd. wonder if it's a firmware upgrade away. it certainly should be!Holy ****, the M3 Air has better external display support than the M3 MacBook Pro.
Pinch me. I did not expect that.
Two is not one.Yes I did. It only supports two screen with the lid closed.
The only reason to upgrade from an M1 would be the form factor. The only reason to upgrade from an M2 is if you're a moron who bought the wrong laptop in the beginning.Looks like the only real reason to upgrade to the M3 from an M1 and M2 would be if you need the better external support for two displays.
Gotta wait for the M4 Air for 16GB as standard. Lol.Still can’t be leave 8/256 is still the base model, I mean 8 GM of memory and that shared with the graphics. Well I can believe it but I’ll pass again.
Bravo on the multi monitors tho.
How so... many of the "Upgraders would her already upgraded from Intel to M1 / M2 anyway, especially when they saw how much of a jump it was from Intel to M1 when the M1's are such fantastic value for the punch power.Lots of pretty dumb comments about this being a 'meh' update, no difference from the M2 (except of course all the differences), complaints about comparisons to the Intel generation (which will be their prime source of upgrade customers)...
WTF got up everybody's backsides today? Do you expect monumental changes every 12 months? Do you not read the specs before complaining about the specs?
Most buyers of the M3 Air are going to be Intel MacBook owners - not M1 or M2 Air owners. I don't know who people thinks is out there buying a new laptop every 2-3 years, but it's not 90% of Apple's laptop customers.
What did previous MBA support with lid open? No external display?It also now supports up to two external displays when the laptop lid is closed, increasing from just a single external display on the previous Apple silicon models.
I had hoped they'd follow the base m3 with 512 GB of storage but guess not. I like the form factor but unfortunately with the upgrade pricing, doesn't make sense to get this model.Still can’t be leave 8/256 is still the base model, I mean 8 GM of memory and that shared with the graphics. Well I can believe it but I’ll pass again.

yes, but running an external monitor and the lid open to run the internal one too is the sort of thing you only need to do if you can't drive two external monitors.When the MacBook is closed....😂
The transition started just 4 years ago, and there is still a lot of Intel Mac out there. So It is relevant to compare against M1 and Intel like they are doing. Criticizing this is just a will for criticism.They need to stop comparing to Intel laptops.
The MacBook Air never ran well on Intel. I have the "fastest Intel MacBook Air" they're talking about, and it's barely usable in Sonoma.
While I still think the limitation is ridiculous and designed specifically to sell higher priced laptops, this isn't actually a terrible compromise. At least for me - I'd always have the lid closed when working with external displays.When the MacBook is closed....😂

I hope it's just marketing and they keep a handful of engineers even though the management probably thinks AI can run the whole company.Apple too has jumped on the AI bandwagon " World's best Consumer Laptop for AI"
