New M4 MacBook Air: Key Enhancements
Apple has released the new M4 MacBook Air, featuring several notable improvements beyond its core upgrade to the M4 chip and a more affordable price point.
External Display Support
- The new model supports up to two 6K external displays, in addition to its built-in Liquid Retina display, making it ideal for multi-tasking and content creation.
- This feature is available whether the laptop lid is open or closed, addressing a limitation from previous generations.
Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity
- The M4 MacBook Air supports Wi-Fi 6E, aligning with the capabilities of the M3 model. However, it does not support the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is currently exclusive to certain iPhone models.
MagSafe Charger
- A new sky blue color option replaces space gray in the lineup.
- The sky blue MacBook Air comes with a color-matched USB-C to MagSafe cable.
- Apple also offers a separate USB-C to MagSafe charging cable for $49, ideal for those needing an additional or matching cable.
Easier Setup
- With macOS Sequoia 15.4, users can now set up their new MacBook Air using proximity with a nearby iPhone or iPad.
- Simply bringing the iPhone close to the Mac initiates a quick and seamless setup process, transferring files, photos, messages, passwords, and more.
Pricing and Availability
- The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air starts at $999.
- The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air starts at $1199.
- Pre-orders are available now, with the first shipments expected to arrive on March 12.
