This MacBook Air M3 teardown video by iFixit shows just how easy it is to access the battery in Apple’s latest laptop. Compared to its predecessor, this 256GB model features faster SSD speeds, thanks to two 128GB SSD NAND chips.
Both 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air M3 models sport a small plastic pull tab for the battery, and since there’s no adhesive, it should be relatively simple to replace. As for the other parts, we highly recommend bringing in your laptop to any Apple certified service center for repair, as there are a multitude of screws and other small parts that will most certainly get misplaced.

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,” said iFixit.
