Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 15" Laptop (M4 Chip, 16GB RAM & 256GB SSD)
The 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple's M4 chip is a thin, fanless laptop with a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. It suits people who want a big screen for writing, spreadsheets, browsing and light creative work without a fan or bulk. Against 15-inch Windows ultrabooks it trades upgradeability and port variety for silence, battery life and tight macOS integration; against the 13-inch Air it adds screen and speakers at the cost of portability.

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers generally rate the 15-inch Air highly for its screen, silence and battery, and treat the M4 as a modest step over earlier Airs rather than a leap. The most common complaints are the base storage and the two-port layout.
- StorageCriticisedReviewers say the 256GB SSD fills fast once photos, video or games are added.
- PortsCriticisedOwners note only two Thunderbolt ports, so hubs or adapters are often needed.
- BatteryPraisedUsers report lasting a full workday of browsing and office work on a charge.
Questions and answers
- Is the M4 a big upgrade over the M3 or M2 Air?
- It is an incremental step. Everyday tasks feel similar; the gains show up in sustained creative work and in the higher memory ceiling. Buyers coming from an M1 or Intel Air will notice more.
- Is 16GB of memory enough?
- For browsing, office apps, and light photo editing, yes. Heavy video timelines, large virtual machines, or many browser tabs plus creative apps benefit from more memory, which cannot be added later.
- Can I upgrade the SSD or RAM later?
- No. Memory and storage are soldered, so choose the capacity you expect to need for the life of the laptop.
- How does the 15-inch compare with the 13-inch Air?
- Same chip family and design language, but the 15-inch adds screen area and a six-speaker system. It is heavier and larger to carry.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop and a USB-C charging cable with power adapter. It does not include a mouse or external display.
- Does it run Windows apps?
- Not natively. Windows software needs a virtual machine or cloud/remote setup; macOS apps and most creative tools run natively.
