Apple MacBook Air M4 13-inch and 15-inch review: Minimal upgrades at a much better price

 

No surprises, but its lower starting price of $999 is welcome.

Apple MacBook Air M4 (13-Inch, 2025)

 

Lower starting price than the previous-generation 13-inch Air ; Faster M4 processing ; RAM gets a boost, even in the base model ; Improved Center Stage camera ; Quiet, fanless design

Some ultraportable Windows laptops outpace it ; Battery life falls off a little versus 2024 model ; Display tech remains solid, but is starting to appear dated alongside OLED

A price drop and a performance boost reaffirm Apple’s MacBook Air 13-incher as one of the best buys among mainstream ultraportables.

Apple MacBook Air M4 review: a little more for a little less

 

Apple's 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air laptops are iterative, but they're cheaper, further cementing them as the no-brainer choice for most people.

The new M4 MacBook Airs don’t do anything groundbreaking or exciting, but sometimes being boring and consistent is a good thing. There’s nothing wrong with an iterative update.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M4 review: Cheaper and better

 

The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M4 is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Affordably priced, Excellent performance, Over 15 hours of battery life, Bright Liquid Retina display, Fast and comfortable typing experience, Unmatched webcam

Limited ports, Upgrades can get expensive

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M4 sets a new standard for laptop value by lowering its price while raising the bar on performance and adding a class-leading webcam.

They said Apple's M4 MacBook Air was a 'boring update' - my tests told a different story

 

Apple's latest MacBook Air refines the ultraportable experience with modest yet notable hardware upgrades and a lower starting price.

The MacBook Air M4 is still one of the most complete packages you can ask for when it comes to creativity, productivity, and everyday use. The M4 Air's sleek and lightweight form factor set the standard for ultraportables, and not much has changed with...

Apple MacBook Air M4 review: the best gets (slightly) better and cheaper

 

A $100 price cut makes the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 an even better value

Strong M4 performance ; Long battery life ; Sharper 12MP webcam ; Bright and colorful display ; Thin and lightweight design

Same design ; No anti-glare display option ; Some Windows laptops last longer ; No Wi-Fi 7

The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 offers the same design as the previous model but delivers better performance and a sharper camera while also delivering long battery life. I wish Apple would have included a nano-texture display option to reduce glare and...

MacBook Air with M4: Is It Worth Buying?

 

Apple maintained the price of its MacBook Air in 2025. Find out whether this is a worthwhile upgrade in our hands-on of Apple's newest MacBook Air!

Top performance despite a price reduction ; High-quality workmanship ; Webcam now comes with Centre Stage ; Supports two 6K displays + own display

60 Hz panel with 500 nits brightness is slowly becoming obsolete ; No option for nanotextured glass ; Hardly repairable, not "upgradable" ; 30/35 W charging adapter is too slow

I'm pretty sure that even Tim Cook would agree with me that Apple is simply coasting along with minimal product maintenance on the MacBook Air in 2025. So in the unlikely event where Apple's CEO listens to me, here goes nothing: Tim, feel free to write...

The MacBook Air isn't just a strong performer in a pretty new color — here's why it's also a great value

 

We put our 15-inch review unit and its M4 SoC through its paces.

Apple lowered the price! ; Powerful speakers on the 15-inch laptop ; Upgraded 12MP Center Stage webcam ; Long battery life ; M4 supports two external displays with the lid open

RAM and SSD pricing are still absurd ; Display notch is still there, sans Face ID

The MacBook Air with M4 is still thin, still powerful, and still excellent. Add in a lower price point and a default 16GB of RAM, and this laptop is one of the best values Apple has offered in a long time.

The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is the perfect laptop for me (and most people)

 

With the M4 MacBook Air, I've finally gotten my hands on the 13-inch version of Apple's popular laptop for the first time - and I've been blown away.

Apple's M4-powered MacBook Air features the tech giant's latest chip, a new 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, and a lower starting price.

M4 MacBook Air Review (13-Inch, 2025): Still My Go-To Recommendation for Most People

 

Whether you pick the little 13-inch model or the more comfortable yet compact 15-inch Air, you'll be getting an undeniably versatile MacBook.

Big performance gains from M1, Intel MacBook Airs ; Great design, features ; Support for two external displays simultaneously with MacBook display ; 12-megapixel Center Stage camera

256GB SSD might fill up fast ; Expensive upgrades
