Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) vs Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M4

Both are M4 MacBook Airs with the same chip, 16GB base memory and macOS Sequoia, so the real choice is screen size against weight. The 13-inch is the better travel laptop: lighter, easier to fit in a bag, and the same performance. The 15-inch gives you a much larger display and six speakers instead of four, and owners rate it well, though it is heavier and takes up more desk and bag space. Buy the 13-inch for portability, the 15-inch if the screen is where you spend your day.

• Choose the 13-inch MacBook Air if you carry your laptop daily and want the lightest M4 Air.
• Choose the 15-inch MacBook Air if you want a bigger screen and better speakers and mostly work at a desk.
