Apple just dropped the MacBook Air M4, and while it may seem like a minor refresh at first glance, it actually packs five key improvements that make it a solid upgrade.
Here’s what you need to know before deciding whether to upgrade! 👇
🔹 1. A Familiar Design with a Fresh Color 🎨
The Sky Blue color is the most noticeable change! It shifts under different lighting conditions, giving your MacBook a dynamic look.
🔹 2. A Smarter Webcam for Better Calls 📹
Apple upgraded the 12MP ultra-wide camera with Center Stage to keep you in frame during video calls. Plus, spatial audio and Dolby Atmos enhance sound quality.
🔹 3. Dual 6K Monitor Support 🖥️ 🖥️
No more clamshell mode! The M4 chip now supports two external monitors without closing the laptop lid. Great news for multi-taskers and content creators.
🔹 4. M4 Chip: More Power ⚡
The 10-core CPU & 10-core GPU boost performance, making it faster for video editing, AI tasks, and gaming. The battery still lasts up to 18 hours on the 13" model.
🔹 5. A Lower Price 💰
✅ 13" MacBook Air M4 starts at $999
✅ 15" MacBook Air M4 starts at $1199
That’s $100 cheaper than the previous generation, making it an even better deal!
🚀 Should You Upgrade?
✅ If you’re on an Intel Mac → This is a huge upgrade.
✅ If you have an M1 MacBook Air → You’ll feel a performance boost.
✅ If you have an M2 or M3 MacBook Air → The camera, color, and external monitor support might tempt you, but it’s not a must-have.
