Apple's slim Air lineup squeezes two Thunderbolt 4 ports at 40Gbps, plus 3.5mm jack and MagSafe charging—no HDMI or SD card without adapters. Both TB4 ports handle video output simultaneously with 60W+ Power Delivery for dual external displays. The proprietary MagSafe connector charges faster but limits multi-display work during charging. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
Apple MacBook Air 15-inch with M3 chip featuring two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, MagSafe 3 charging, and 3.5mm audio jack with high-impedance headphone support. No HDMI or SD card slot.
