Choose your adventure: the new MacBook Air comes in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, offering a balance of portability and screen real estate. The 13-inch model starts at $999 (a $100 discount from the previous generation), while the 15-inch model begins at $1199. The M4 chip delivers a noticeable performance and longevity boost, featuring a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage as standard. For power users, configurations with a 10-core GPU, 32GB of RAM, and up to 2TB of storage are available.

Beyond the power upgrade, a striking new Sky Blue color joins the lineup, a subtle yet elegant addition to Midnight (black), Starlight (gold), and Silver. Space Gray is discontinued, but its aesthetic falls somewhere between Midnight and Silver. Whichever color you choose, your MagSafe charging cable will match.

The integrated "Center Stage" camera receives an upgrade to 12 megapixels, resulting in sharper and more vibrant video calls.

While not strictly necessary for existing MacBook Air users, Apple claims the M4 is twice as fast as the M1 model, making it a worthwhile upgrade. The performance leap is even more dramatic compared to older Intel-based MacBooks—a reported 23x speed improvement.
