Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 15.3" Laptop with M4 Chip
The 15.3-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip is Apple's largest fanless laptop, built for people who want a big screen without a heavy machine. The M4 chip with 24GB of memory and a 512GB SSD handles everyday work, photo editing and many browser tabs without strain. Its rivals are thin-and-light Windows laptops with OLED screens and discrete graphics; the Air trades those for silent operation, long battery life and a strong trackpad and speaker setup. Reviewers consistently rate the Air line for build quality and battery life, and the main complaints are the 60Hz display and limited ports.
- Silent, fanless design under sustained light loads
- Long battery life for a 15-inch laptop
- Large 15.3-inch screen in a thin, light chassis
- 24GB of memory leaves room for many apps at once
- Strong speakers and a large trackpad

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers praise the Air line for quiet operation, battery life and a big screen that stays portable. Common complaints are the 60Hz panel, the small port selection and the cost of upgrading memory or storage.
- DisplayMixedReviewers like the size and brightness but note the 60Hz refresh rate lags behind Pro models and some Windows rivals.
- BatteryPraisedOwners report a full day of mixed work on one charge.
- PortsCriticisedTwo Thunderbolt ports are seen as tight for anyone using a monitor, card reader and charger at once.
Questions and answers
- Is the M4 chip a big step up from the M1 or M2 Air?
- Yes. The M4 brings faster CPU and graphics cores than M1 and M2, and the 15-inch body adds a larger screen and better speakers than the 13-inch models.
- Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
- No. Memory and SSD are soldered, so choose 24GB and 512GB at purchase if you expect heavy multitasking or large media files.
- Does it have a fan?
- No. The Air is fanless, so it stays silent but can throttle during long video exports or sustained heavy loads.
- How many external displays can it drive?
- With the lid closed it can drive up to two external displays; with the lid open it supports one external display in addition to the built-in screen.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop, a USB-C to MagSafe charging cable and a power adapter. A case and external mouse are not included.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It handles casual and older games, but it has no discrete GPU, so demanding modern titles run at low settings or not at all.
