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)

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.

Closest Windows competitor to the MacBook Air 13: Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 laptop review

Notebookcheck reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Aura Edition, a 14-inch ThinkPad laptop made to compete with the Apple MacBook Air. Compared with the MacBook, it offers an HDMI port and a modular SSD, Lenovo has made the un-ThinkPad: At least in terms...

full metal chassis;matte OLED screen w/great color gamut coverage;great input devices;intelligent and easy maintenance design;long battery life;nice sound quality;HDMI port and modular SSD

bad webcam;missing features (5G, Smartcard, mechanical camera shutter, TrackPoint);no USB-A port;can get loud under load;worse keyboard layout than other ThinkPads

Lenovo has made the un-ThinkPad: At least in terms of looks, the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 Aura Edition is not a ThinkPad. However, when it comes to the quality of components and the engineering behind it, this device does have ThinkPad quality. From...

Here is how the 13-inch and 15-inch versions of the MacBook Air stack up. Do you really need the larger laptop?

Why I can't recommend the M4 MacBook Air enough - especially at this discounted price

Apple's M4 MacBook Air refines the ultraportable experience with more memory, better support for external monitors, and the lowest price yet.

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...
