Although it has the same design as last year's MacBook Air, the new computer will also be available in a fresh sky blue color, and it now supports three external monitors. The new MacBook Air goes on sale March 12.
The MacBook Air is one of Apple's most critical products. Mac sales rose 15% in the December quarter to just under $9 billion in sales. The company attributed that increase to higher sales of laptops even though overall Mac sales, which also include desktop models, are still down from the company's fiscal 2022. That was a period when computer sales were elevated as a result of people needing laptops for work or school during the pandemic.
Apple's MacBook Air announcement caps off a flurry of new product releases by the company over the past few weeks.
