Each 13- and 15-inch fashions of the MacBook Air will ship with the newer chips, aligning them with the latest Mac Mini, iMac, and MacBook Professional and including assist for 2 exterior shows with the lid nonetheless open. The design is identical, although Apple added the 12-megapixel Middle Stage webcam that’s obtainable on the present MacBook Professionals.
The entry-level mannequin has an M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU, 16GB of unified reminiscence, and 256GB of storage. It may be additional configured with a 10-core GPU (matching the bottom 14-inch MacBook Professional) with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.
I briefly performed with the brand new M4 Airs however haven’t examined them but. It’s… nonetheless a MacBook Air. Simply with a extra highly effective chip. The sky blue shade is nice, however I believe Apple may have extra enjoyable with its hues prefer it does on the iMac. (The place’s the bondi blue, Apple?)
The M4 improve and the Middle Stage digital camera are measured, anticipated upgrades that I’ll take a look at in my full overview. It doesn’t look like an enormous improve, however the worth drop is spectacular, particularly towards rising tariffs.
