If I had to think of the tech I’ve used most often in my day-to-day, I wouldn’t usually consider my phone first. If I ruminate long and hard enough, considering the number of person-hours that go into my work, I would consider my 13-inch M1-powered MacBook Air as my go-to device, like my oft-beleaguered, put-upon…

This week, we got our hands on the new 13- and 15-inch Macbook Air, which takes advantage of Apple’s fancy M3 silicon.

Deep into the night before All Hallows Eve, Apple’s Cupertino spaceship headquarters was shrouded in a dense, black fog as if preparing to release a malevolent force upon the world. Thankfully, when the fog cleared, what we had instead was three new chips, a MacBook Pro update, and an iMac refresh.

Recent rumors have suggested that Apple will release its first M3 MacBooks this year. However, a new five-year global notebook shipments forecast published by DigiTimes has suggested we won’t be seeing them until 2024.

The first Surface Laptop Go I reviewed back in 2020 started at $550. The second version, from 2022, started at $600.
