I've been working at Laptop Station since 2008 as head of our customer care. Day-to-day, I chat with customers via email, live chat and on the phone to help them find the laptop that's right for them. There's never any jargon, no sales talk, and absolutely zero bs.

How do we work out our software scores?Learn more ⌄

We check the software makers’ official documentation for their minimum and recommended specifications, which are incorporated into our scoring.

Basic - This laptop is compatible with the software, but you'll have access to fewer features, and functionality will be limited.

Good - This laptop meets the software maker’s minimum requirements. Your experience will be limited by the specification of the laptop.

Very Good - This laptop meets the recommended requirements of the software maker. You should have a good experience using most features.

Excellent - This laptop is above the recommended requirements, meaning the app runs more smoothly.

We rank our laptops based on raw performance, so we don't take into account things like screen quality, brightness, or refresh rates.

About Apple Laptop MacBook Air - Apple M3 Processor 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Backlit Keyboard 2024 Model MacOS 13.6" Liquid Retina Screen

Video editing and gaming are no match for the M3 chip's powerful CPU and GPU. In fact, it's up to 1.6x faster than the M1 MacBook Air, so you'll fly through your workflows.

The 13.6" Liquid Retina display makes every detail shine. It displays a billion colours, so you can appreciate every subtle shade. Just what you need for your creative projects and just what you want for movie nights.

All that power is hiding in an all-aluminium body that's only 1.13 mm thin, and it doesn't even need a fan. 


Key Features
- The 1080p FaceTime HD camera will make you look sharp on video calls
- You can browse, upload and stream faster than ever before with WiFi 6E
- The four-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio immerses you in your movies
- With Touch ID, secure logins and Apple Pay are just a finger tap away
- Connect everything you need (with speed) thanks to the two Thunderbolt 4 ports
- True Tone adjusts the brightness and colour temperature of the screen to keep your eyes comfy
- The MagSafe 3 charger snaps into place automatically and it won't hurt your MacBook if you trip over the cable

Only one available, this 2024 model offers incredible performance for just £729.
