Operating System: Mac
Display Size : 15
Resolution : 2560 x 1600

Starting things off with what arguably is the best thin and light laptop on this list. The MacBook Air 15-inch is equipped with Apple powerhouse M3 chip. The chip includes an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU and the laptop supports up to 24GB of unified memory. That’s a lot of RAM, and you could get even more if you wanted! The laptop features a Liquid Retina display with a native resolution of 2560x1664p at 224 ppi. Meaning it’s excellent for content creators on the go who need a colour-accurate display with a high resolution. It offers storage options of 256GB or 512GB, configurable up to 2TB. The MacBook Air 15-inch also includes a MagSafe 3 charging port and two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports. The M3 chip provides approximately 20 percent more single-core and 18 percent more multi-core performance than the older M2 chip, which is also excellent. Combined with its excellent battery life and the fact that it runs very quietly, thanks to the lack of fans, this is an excellent companion for power users on the go.
