🎨 Design and Colors
While the design remains the same sleek, ultra-light form factor, Apple introduces a new Sky Blue color to join Silver, Starlight, and Midnight.
- Weight: 2.7 pounds (13-inch)
- Thickness: under 0.5 inches
The Sky Blue color subtly shifts in appearance under different lighting, adding a stylish flair.
🚀 M4 Chip Performance
The new M4 chip powers the MacBook Air with:
- 10-core CPU
- Up to 10-core GPU
- Up to 32GB unified memory
Apple claims it’s twice as fast as the M1, supporting creative tasks like AI-powered image editing and even smooth gaming experiences with titles like Wuthering Waves.
📸 Upgraded Camera and Video Features
The MacBook Air M4 now features a 12MP camera with Center Stage, ensuring you’re always framed perfectly during video calls. Plus, Desk View lets you share both your face and workspace simultaneously.
🖥️ Dual Monitor Support
A standout feature: you can connect two external monitors at once, even with the laptop open — a multitasker’s dream.
⚠️ What’s Still Missing?
Despite the upgrades, there’s no nano-texture display (reducing glare) — still exclusive to the MacBook Pro M4 — and no Face ID, sticking with Touch ID for logins.
🔍 Final Thoughts
The MacBook Air M4 doesn’t revolutionize the line but brings meaningful upgrades and better value. With a price drop, better performance, and long battery life, it’s set to remain one of the best laptops of 2025.
