Apple MacBook Air 15 M2 vs Apple MacBook Air M4 13-inch

The MacBook Air 15 M2 is the better pick for a 15-inch screen and a bigger battery in a fanless, silent body. The M4 Air is faster on paper, has a newer port set with MagSafe and Thunderbolt 4, and a sharper webcam, but the listing describes it as the 13.6-inch model. Owners of the M2 Air praise the silent design and all-day battery; reviewers say the M4 chip is a real step up in speed. Pick the M2 15 if screen size and quiet matter most, and the M4 if you want the newest chip and ports.

• Choose the MacBook Air 15 M2 if you want a large 15-inch screen, a bigger 66.5 Wh battery and a completely silent fanless laptop for writing, browsing and light creative work.
• Choose the MacBook Air M4 15 if you want the newer M4 chip, MagSafe charging, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 12MP Center Stage camera, and you are fine with the smaller 13.6-inch screen.
