Why Buy the Apple M4 MacBook Air?

Apple just launched the MacBook Air series with the new M4 chip in March, making the current discount particularly compelling. As with recent MacBook Air generations, the M4 MacBook Air (review) is designed for light to moderate users who need a powerful laptop with long battery life in a portable form factor.

Internally, the Apple M4 SoC adds two more processor cores, resulting in a 10-core CPU setup. Alongside this processor upgrade, it features an enhanced GPU and Neural Engine. This translates to noticeably faster performance in general tasks and AI-related applications. The chip also offers higher memory bandwidth for improved multitasking and video editing capabilities.

Beyond the chip, the M4 MacBook Air now supports up to two external monitors without requiring the lid to be closed, a significant improvement over previous models, thanks to the faster Thunderbolt 4 USB ports. It also features a new 12 MP FaceTime camera with Apple’s Center Stage support for more engaging video conferencing.

Elsewhere, the M4 MacBook Air retains the fantastic Liquid Retina display and the excellent keyboard that provides a comfortable typing experience. The large Force Touch trackpad remains top-class among laptops. You can expect a rated battery life of 18 hours, which can be even longer depending on your usage patterns.
