Why Buy the Apple MacBook Air M4?
Apple introduced the MacBook Air M4 in March of this year, a year after the M3 version. Although a relatively short gap, the new MacBook Air is more than just a refresh, bringing several notable upgrades apart from the new M chipset.
For instance, the MacBook Air M4 (review) now supports connecting up to two external monitors without closing the lid, which is a significant upgrade for productivity. Similar to the MacBook Pro, it features a new 12 MP FaceTime camera that boasts Center Stage for automatic framing during video calls and conferences.
Elsewhere, the new MacBook Air's M4 SoC offers plenty of power compared to previous chips. It's configured with a faster and more efficient processor and graphics unit, while the Neural Engine can handle AI processes better. While the performance difference might be subtle when compared to the M3, it should offer a noticeably more fluid and smoother experience compared to much earlier versions.
Despite the new speedy chipset, the MacBook Air M4 remains a lightweight and thin machine that can be easily stowed in bags or carried around. The Liquid Retina display is bright and offers accurate and crisp details. Its large trackpad is easily one of the best among laptops while the keyboard is fantastic to type on.
Battery life is also more than solid here, with 18-hour rating from Apple. Plus, you get convenient charging with the MagSafe port.
