While Apple’s MacBook Air M4 lineup was only recently introduced, it’s already been heavily discounted, but even at full price it represents remarkable value for money , even compared to earlier models.
Especially now, since the 15-inch MacBook Air m4 with 16GB of combined memory and 512GB SSD storage currently costs $1,199 , which is a $200 discount and the lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools .
Even though this is an entry-level MacBook Air (albeit with a larger screen), it comes with 16GB of RAM, which is double the amount of memory in the previous-generation base model. That’s enough for demanding apps now and for years to come. It has a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2560 x 1664 resolution, P3 wide color gamut, and 500 nits of peak brightness. You also get a great backlit keyboard with Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6E support, and great speakers and microphones.
The 12-megapixel camera features Center Stage, first introduced on iPad and MacBook Pro M4 , which allows the camera to follow your face as it moves around the frame during video calls. Two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports let you connect up to two external 6K displays.
According to Lifehacker senior tech editor Jake Peterson, the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is probably better than it should be, and arguably a better deal than the Pro . When you factor in the discount, it really is the best MacBook for most people.
