Whether 13-inch or 15-inch - both MacBook Air models are really good. Here you get twice the speed and a great screen, combined with a long battery life and silent operation. Both are excellent laptops for working, but the power of the M3 chip is not enough for smooth gaming. The biggest advantage of the smaller 13-inch model is that it is around 300 euros cheaper with the same features.
