Our take on the Apple 15" MacBook Air (M4 Chip / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD)
The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip is Apple's large-screen thin-and-light laptop, pairing a fanless design with 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. Its 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display gives more room for spreadsheets and side-by-side windows than the 13-inch Air, while staying under 3.5 pounds. It suits students, writers and office workers who want a big screen without a heavy machine. Against the MacBook Pro it gives up the brighter mini-LED screen, extra ports and sustained heavy-load performance, but it runs cooler and quieter for everyday work.
- Fanless design runs silent in everyday use
- 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with plenty of workspace
- 16GB unified memory handles many browser tabs and apps
- MagSafe charging frees up both Thunderbolt ports
- Long battery life for a full workday away from an outlet

What reviewers say
Owners of the 15-inch Air line praise the big screen, silence and battery life, and call it the best everyday Mac for most people. Critics focus on the base storage and the limited ports.
- DisplayPraisedOwners like the large, bright Liquid Retina panel for split-screen work.
- StorageCriticisedReviewers warn the 256GB SSD fills fast with media and large apps.
- PortsCriticisedBuyers say two Thunderbolt ports force a hub for monitors and card readers.
Questions and answers
- Is the M4 Air enough for photo and video editing?
- Yes for photo editing and short 4K clips. Long exports and heavy timelines slow down because there is no fan, so frequent pro video work favors a MacBook Pro.
- How does it compare with the 13-inch MacBook Air?
- Same chip, memory and ports, but the 15-inch model adds a larger screen and a bigger battery in a slightly heavier body. Choose it if screen space matters more than portability.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
- No. Memory and SSD are soldered, so pick the configuration you need at purchase. 16GB is fine for most office work; heavy multitasking or large media libraries benefit from more storage.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop, a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable and a USB-C power adapter. No external mouse or case is included.
- Does it run Windows apps?
- Not natively. Windows on Arm can run in a virtual machine, and many apps have Mac versions, but check your specific software first.
- Is the 60Hz screen a problem?
- For scrolling and office work it is fine. Users coming from ProMotion displays notice the difference in smoothness, but it does not affect most tasks.
