Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) vs Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15" Gen 9
The MacBook Air M4 is the better laptop for most people deciding between these two. It has a sharper display, far longer battery life, a much faster chip and a lighter build, and owners rate it highly. The IdeaPad Slim 3 is a bigger-screen Windows machine with a fingerprint reader and more ports, but 8GB of RAM and a 60Hz panel limit it to light tasks. Choose the Air unless you need Windows or a larger screen on a tight budget.
- Choose the MacBook Air M4 if you want a light, fast laptop with long battery life for work, study, photo and video editing, or everyday multitasking.
- Choose the IdeaPad Slim 3 if you need Windows, prefer a 15.6-inch screen, and mainly do browsing, email, documents and streaming.
