BMW’s electric M3 promises blistering performance with four motors and a Heart of Joy

BMW is developing an all-electric M3 to be revealed in 2027 after the new 3 Series debuts; it will use four motors (one per wheel) and a central Drive Dynamics computer called the Heart of Joy to fine‑tune steering and traction, likely around 1,000 hp (with possible higher bursts), a 108 kWh battery for roughly 450 miles of range, and sub‑3‑second 0–60 mph performance, targeting rivals like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. A petrol-hybrid M3 variant is also expected.

"Unbeatable Deals: MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Prices Hit All-Time Lows in 2024"

The new MacBook Air M3 offers small but significant upgrades over its predecessor, with improved processor speed, microphone, Wi-Fi, and doubled storage speed on the 256GB version. It can now power two external monitors with the lid closed, and the 15-inch model features louder speakers and a larger battery. However, the base models still lack sufficient memory and storage for the price, and upgrading can quickly become expensive. The M3's hardware-accelerated ray tracing capability is limited by its GPU cores and memory, and the base models come with a meager 8GB of memory. Despite these drawbacks, the MacBook Air M3 remains a solid choice for general-purpose use, but potential buyers should carefully consider their upgrade needs and costs.

MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera shared a review of the M3 MacBook Air after using it for two weeks, noting that it's a perfect all-around laptop for most people, with the M1 and M2 MacBook Air models being more than enough for simple tasks. The M3 offers faster CPU and GPU speeds, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, Wi-Fi 6E support, and support for two displays in clamshell mode, making it a good choice for those needing more power. However, the more affordable M1 and M2 MacBook Air models are still great options for many users.

iFixit's teardown of the new M3 MacBook Air confirms that Apple has switched from using one 256GB storage chip to two 128GB storage chips, resulting in significantly faster SSD speeds. The change in SSD storage shouldn't be overlooked, as testing has shown that the M3 MacBook Air features SSD write speeds roughly 33% faster and read speeds around 82% faster than the M2 model. While the external appearance remains largely unchanged, the internal upgrade is notable, and potential buyers should be aware of the performance difference when choosing between the M2 and M3 models.

Apple's new 15-inch M3 MacBook Air is priced similarly to the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, offering comparable core specifications. While the MacBook Air can be configured to match the base 14-inch MacBook Pro and save $100, there are significant differences to consider, including display quality, thermal management, and connectivity. The MacBook Pro boasts a superior display, additional ports, and reduced thermal throttling, making it a better choice despite the slight price difference.

"Comparing Apple's M3 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Pro: Which is the Better Choice?"

The newly released M3 MacBook Air has been found to reach extreme temperatures of up to 114 degrees Celsius under full load, leading to thermal throttling and a steep decline in graphics performance. The lightweight laptops, which rely on passive cooling without fans, experienced these high temperatures during benchmark tests. While the M3 systems are very fast, their extreme heat levels raise concerns about their suitability for heavy workloads, despite being designed for light computing tasks.

"Unveiling the Surprising Upgrades of the M3 MacBook Air (2024)"

Apple's M3 MacBook Air has a significant but unadvertised upgrade in SSD speeds for the 256GB model, with write speeds boosted by roughly 33% and read speeds nearly doubled compared to the M2 model. The M3 MacBook Air's improved SSD speeds make it a compelling choice over the M2 model with the same storage, offering strong performance from the M3 chip, long battery life, and a great display, according to a hands-on review.
