Frequently asked questions about this MacBook Air

Frequently asked questions Frequently given answers.
Frequently asked questions Frequently given answers.

Is 13 inches the best size for you?

13 inches is the smallest size. That's useful if you want to bring your MacBook everywhere. You do have less screen space, so you don't see every detail. 15 inches is a bit larger than average. That's useful if you take your MacBook with you sometimes, but you mainly want more screen space. Thanks to the larger screen, you see more details.

Is 16GB RAM enough for you?

With 16GB RAM, you're MacBook is more likely to slow down when you work in multiple demanding programs at the same time. That's why 16GB RAM is mainly suitable for photo editing and working in a couple of light programs. Choose at least 24GB RAM if you want to perform multiple tasks at the same time, without your MacBook slowing down.

Is 512GB storage enough for you?

With 512GB storage, you have enough space for photos, programs, and text files. Choose at least 1TB storage capacity if you also store many videos and other demanding files.

What makes the MacBook Pro better than the MacBook Air?

Compared to the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro has a better processor. This means you can edit the largest graphic files without slowing down. You can connect more devices via the extra ports, such as a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

How long will this MacBook receive updates?

Om average, your MacBook will receive new software update until 7 years after the release. This MacBook Air is from 2024, so you can expect new software updates until 2031. The newer your MacBook, the longer you can enjoy the latest functions. Your files and data are also best-secured if you always install new updates.

The best MacBook for on the go

  • Fits easily on small surfaces
  • Fast in image editing
  • I connect up to 2 external screens for a good overview
  • Due to the low number of ports, I need a docking station more quickly

I take the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 (2024) with me everywhere. It is super light and compact. Even on the cramped folding tables on the train, I continue working on my projects. It is fast and energy efficient for image editing. Of course I also watch my favorite films and series on my MacBook. The razor-sharp Liquid Retina screen and the 4 Dolby Atmos speakers complete my movie experience. In short, a nice laptop for daily use. I do think it is a shame that the anti-slip rubbers on the bottom do not work on every surface and I see fingerprints on the dark housing.

From surfing the internet to video editing: the MacBook Air can do it all
I use this MacBook Air daily for all my tasks. For example, I can score my new outfit online with Klarna, I am always up to date with the latest news through the widgets on my desktop and I can perform graphical edits smoothly. For example, I like to make a recap video after my holiday. I easily edit these in iMovie. I edit my photo files in Adobe Photoshop, which I then immediately share on Instagram. In the evening I play a game with my friends via Discord. The MacBook Air is also suitable for this: thanks to the Ray Tracing technology, I play light games from the App Store and the images look realistic. I do notice that this goes smoother with a model with 10 graphics cores.

Easier multitasking with extra screens
The 13-inch Liquid Retina screen is compact, which makes it harder for me to work on large spreadsheets. If I want to multitask more easily, I simply open my tabs in Split View. This works fine for me. If a file really doesn't fit on my screen, I can easily connect 2 external screens. My MacBook has to be closed for this, which I think is a shame. I prefer to have the beautiful Liquid Retina screen of my Air there. This is possible, but then I connect a maximum of 1 screen.

Few ports, but many connections
The MacBook Air casing is very thin, which doesn't leave much room for ports. On the sides I only see a MagSafe charging port, 2 USB-C ports and a mini jack connection. Personally, I don't mind this so much. Nowadays I naturally connect many accessories via Bluetooth. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.4, the quality of my wireless headphones is better and I experience less delay when I connect devices such as my keyboard and mouse to my MacBook.
