Apple has just confirmed the upcoming announcement of the new MacBook Air M4. This laptop should have many arguments to establish itself as an excellent machine, especially thanks to a specific point.
Apple feels that something is in the air. The announcement of Tim Cook on social networks leaves little room for doubt: a new Apple product is arriving this week. Unless a real surprise, it would be the new MacBook Air M4 which would arrive a year after the previous generation. In addition to his supposed performances, this laptop should offer a very interesting option for potential buyers.
What do we know about the MacBook Air M4?
The MacBook Air M4 provides for several small improvements compared to its predecessor released in March 2024. First of all, and it is the most logical evolution, the MacBook Air M4 would have a new chip called “M4” and which we already find in several Apple devices such as the MacBook Pro (2024) and the latest iPad Pro (2024). This chip would increase the performance of the MacBook Air M4 by approximately 15% compared to its predecessor according to the Geekbench site which would already have statements and analyzes on the subject.
Always on the power side, the MacBook Air M4 would be distinguished mainly on the maximum possibility of RAM. According to the first leaks, Apple would offer an option to have 32 GB of RAM (against only 24 at present) which would be synonymous with a very good performance gain for users who need more power. The memory bandwidth would also be improved with 120 GB/S against 100 GB/s on the current MacBook Air M3.
Recently notable improvement: the 12 Mpx webcam camera inherited from the MacBook Pro would now land within the MacBook Air M4. It would be accompanied by “Center Stage” technology which allows you to follow the user movements to keep it at the center of the stage even when the latter moves.
Nothing to report on the design side which should remain the same as on the previous MacBook Air with two USB 4/Thunderbolt ports, a Jack port and no HDMI port.
What will be the price of the new MacBook Air M4?
No official or color noise information came out as for the potential prices of the MacBook Air M4. Apple will certainly wait for its announcement via press release to indicate the prices of its new laptop. We bet that the latter will be the same as last year, which would give the following prices:
- MacBook Air M4 – 13 inches (16/512 GB): 1529 euros.
- MacBook Air M4 – 13 inches (24/512 GB): 1759 euros.
- MacBook Air M4 – 15 inches (16/512 GB): 1829 euros.
- MacBook Air M4 – 15 inches (24/512 GB): 2059 euros.
When will the new MacBook Air M4 available?
Apple did not specify a release date or even an ad for its new MacBook Air M4. The firm only said that news would be communicated during this week of March 3. However, there is a good chance that the announcement will be made by Friday, March 7. This would allow Apple to offer a few days of pre -orders before an official outing. Last year, the MacBook Air M3 was unveiled on March 4 for an outing only four days later.
