15-inch 2025 Apple MacBook Air Laptop with M4 chip
Choose your perfect size: 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 increase, boasting a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage as standard. Customize yours with up to a 10-core GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage for maximum power.
Beyond the power upgrade, the new Air boasts a striking new Sky Blue color option—a subtly tinted silver. Other color choices include Midnight (black), Starlight (gold), and Silver (silver). While Space Gray is no longer available, Midnight and Silver offer similar alternatives. Your chosen color will match the included MagSafe charging cable.
The integrated "Center Stage" camera is now a 12-megapixel model, promising significantly improved video quality for your FaceTime calls.
While not strictly necessary for existing MBA owners, Apple claims the M4 is twice as fast as the M1 MacBook Air, making it a worthwhile upgrade for those using older hardware. The performance leap is even more dramatic compared to older Intel-based MacBooks; Apple boasts a 23x speed improvement over the latest Intel model.
