The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip is Apple's large-screen thin-and-light laptop. It pairs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with a fanless design, up to 18 hours of battery life, a 12MP Center Stage camera and six speakers with Spatial Audio. It suits people who want a big screen without the weight of a Pro laptop. Against the 13-inch Air it adds screen and speakers at a modest weight gain; against the MacBook Pro it gives up the brighter mini-LED display, ProMotion and active cooling, so sustained heavy loads slow it down.

Owners of the M4 Air line praise the speed, silence and battery life, and the 15-inch screen wins over buyers coming from smaller laptops. Critics note it is not built for long sustained workloads and that the port count is limited.
The 15-inch MacBook Air has the Apple M4 chip and is built for Apple Intelligence. It is less than half an inch thin and light enough to carry in a bag. Battery life is up to 18 hours, and performance is the same on battery or plugged in.
The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display supports one billion colors. It has rounded corners at the top. Measured as a standard rectangle, the screen is 15.3 inches diagonally, and the actual viewable area is less. For video calls and media, it has a 12MP Center Stage camera, three mics and six speakers with Spatial Audio.
It runs macOS, including apps such as Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Cloud and Google Workspace. It works with other Apple devices: iPhone Mirroring lets you view and control your iPhone from the Mac. You can also copy on iPhone and paste on Mac, send texts with Messages, and make and answer FaceTime calls. Apple Intelligence helps with writing and everyday tasks, with privacy protections that keep your data inaccessible to others, including Apple.
