The 13-inch MacBook Air is one of the thinnest and lightest laptops out there.

It's fundamentally the same hardware platform that Apple introduced with the M2 MacBook Air .

The sky blue colorway is the best colorway I've ever seen on a Mac.

The port situation is still terrible, though the industry is headed in the same direction.

The M4 MacBook Air has a 10 -core CPU , up from eight CPU cores on the M3 chip.

The bigger update is the memory, as Apple has finally ditched 8 GB RAM and switched to 16 GB as the bare minimum.

On Geekbench, it was roughly 20% faster at single-core and 21% snappier at multi-core tests.

The M4 MacBook Air is one of the best thin and light laptops out there.

Peak fast charging chops have also climbed from 67W to 70W , though Apple still gives you a 30W charging brick in the box.

The processor is faster, less taxing on the power uptake, and gets a future-proof multi-tasking boost with 16 GB of RAM without a price hike.
