Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) vs Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch
Buy the M4 MacBook Air for the longer useful life: it is faster, runs cooler, gets macOS updates years longer, and has a much better camera and screen. The M1 Air still handles browsing, email, documents and video calls well, and it is the cheaper way into a Mac laptop. Reviewers and owners praise both for silence, battery life and build, but the M1's 720p camera, older Wi-Fi and 8-core chip show their age next to the M4.
- Choose the MacBook Air M4 if you want a laptop that stays fast and supported for many years, do video calls or light editing, and value the sharper screen and better webcam.
- Choose the MacBook Air M1 if your work is web browsing, writing, spreadsheets and streaming, and you want the lightest, simplest Mac laptop for basic tasks.
