Q: How many cores does the processor in this MacBook Air have?
A: The Apple M4 processor in this MacBook Air has 10 cores.
Q: What is the screen size of this MacBook Air?
A: This MacBook Air has a 15.3-inch screen.
Q: What type of memory does this MacBook Air use?
A: While the exact type is not provided, this MacBook Air has 16 gigabytes of RAM.
Q: Does this MacBook Air have a backlit keyboard?
A: Yes, this MacBook Air does have a backlit keyboard.
Q: What kind of graphics card does this MacBook Air have?
A: This MacBook Air uses integrated Apple M4 10-core graphics.
Q: Does it have an hdmi port? Card reader? USB ports?
A: The M4 MacBook Air does not have a built-in HDMI port, SD card reader, or traditional USB-A ports. Instead, it comes with two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports and a standard headphone jack. To connect external displays (like HDMI monitors), SD cards, or older USB-A devices, you’ll need to use a USB-C hub or adapter. These hubs typically offer multiple ports like HDMI, USB-A, Ethernet, and SD card slots all in one, making it easy to expand your MacBook’s connectivity. This design keeps the laptop thinner and lighter but means you’ll need accessories for older or specialized devices.
Q: Will i be able to transfer data from a Mac book pro 2015 model in store to this Mac model
A: To do that in store I would recommend you buy from your nearest Apple Store. They have a setup table just for things like that, and they will assist you if you have questions about what to do free of charge.
Q: How does this compare to a Microsoft laptop with Windows 11?
A: With the Mac, there is no need for antivirus software, the Mac OS is more secure than Windows 11, and the build quality of the Mac is far superior to most Windows Laptops. With a Mac, Apple designs the hardware and the software to work together. With Windows machines, Microsoft makes the software and a multitude of companies design the hardware. Apple in my experience gives a more reliable, and unified "It Just Works" experience.

The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip
The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip is an outstanding laptop that perfectly balances power, design, and portability. The Midnight finish gives it a sleek, premium look that truly stands out. Powered by Apple’s new M4 chip, this MacBook delivers exceptional performance—fast app loading, smooth multitasking, and impressive efficiency, especially for users relying on Apple Intelligence features. With 16GB of unified memory, everything runs incredibly fluid, whether you're editing photos, coding, managing multiple business apps, or streaming content. The 15-inch Liquid Retina display is bright, sharp, and spacious—ideal for productivity, content creation, and entertainment. Even with the larger screen, the laptop remains extremely thin and lightweight, making it perfect for those who need high performance on the go. The 256GB SSD is fast and responsive, offering enough storage for everyday use, with the option to expand through external drives or iCloud.

MacBook Air M4 Review
The M4 MacBook Air is the best choice for portability; it's light as a feather yet handles all my daily tasks with absolute grace. For someone who doesn't need to do heavy video rendering, this is the perfect balance of price and power. I’m impressed by the portability and speed, handling 30+ tabs in Safari alongside Photoshop with no lag. While it lacks the Pro's fan, I haven't noticed overheating, and the 16GB RAM upgrade feels worth it for multitasking. The battery easily lasts a full day, and the speakers are surprisingly rich. However, I do miss having more ports without using a dongle."

Faster Than I Expected and Lighter Than Ever
The moment I opened the box, I could tell this wasn’t just another laptop — it felt like Apple built it specifically for people who want style and speed. The 15-inch display is gorgeous — bright, detailed, and perfect for everything like editing photos to binge-watching movies. What surprised me most is how light and quiet it is. The M4 chip runs incredibly fast, but the laptop never gets hot or noisy. It just… works — smoothly, instantly, and reliably. The battery easily lasts almost the whole day around 16 hours with streaming and web browsing and the design is so sleek it almost feels too nice to take out of the house (but of course, I do anyway). After using it, I get why Apple calls it “Air.” It’s powerful, effortless, and somehow just makes everyday a little more enjoyable.
