We can't wait to see you! -- Adam Auriemma, editor-in-chief [The M3 Air Is Coming This Week]( The MacBook Air line will be upgraded with the [new M3 chip]( Apple announced yesterday. The M3 is Apple's fastest processor, and it'll give the MacBook Air an extra edge. This also catches the Air up with the [MacBook Pro]( and [iMac]( which already got the M3 treatment. The M3 Air will be compatible with dual monitors — great news for folks like me who enjoy working with more screen real estate. The new Air models should be available Friday, March 8, starting at $1,099, and you can [preorder one now](. The new release marks the end for the M1 Air, which is no longer being sold. The M2 Air, still a powerful machine, is expected to drop in price, so if you're interested, keep your eyes peeled for some [great deals](. It might be worth looking into getting an Air if, when your MacBook Pro gets a bit warm, it sounds like an airplane getting ready to take off (like mine does right now). — Katelyn Chedraoui, writer INSIDER ESSENTIALS display:%20block;%20max-width:%20116px;%20%20max-height:%2015px; display:%20block;%20max-width:%2069px;%20%20max-height:%2015px; [Apple Updates MacBook Air With M3, Dual Monitor Support]( [Apple Updates MacBook Air With M3, Dual Monitor Support]( [The upgraded 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs get a processing bump.
