iFixit has posted its teardown of the new Apple M3 MacBook Air.

The MacBook Air occupies a bit of a strange place in the MacBook lineup—It offers two sizes, just like the Pro, and unless you're getting the powerhouse 16", they weigh about the same too. For the layperson, it's a matter of a couple extra ports—and even then all that USB-A tech will need dongles. But surely there are more differences below the surface? Let's dive into the 13" M3 MacBook Air.
