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: what softwares are installed?
A: The M4 MacBook Air comes out of the box running macOS Sequoia (as of 2025) and includes Apple’s standard suite of pre-installed apps: Safari for browsing; Mail, Messages, and FaceTime for communication; Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Notes for productivity; Photos, Preview, and QuickTime Player for viewing and editing media; Music, Podcasts, TV, and Books for entertainment; Maps, Find My, Weather, Stocks, News, Voice Memos, and Clock for everyday utilities; plus System Settings, the App Store, Siri, and Freeform for collaboration. Apple also bundles creative tools like iMovie and GarageBand, along with its iWork suite—Pages, Numbers, and Keynote—all free. iCloud services, Apple Pay, and Keychain integration are built in as well, but you won’t find Microsoft Office, Adobe software, or other third-party apps preloaded; those must be installed separately.
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.

Absolutely Love My MacBook Air M4! Perfect for Tea
I recently upgraded to the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch with the M4 chip, and I couldn’t be happier! It was a HUGE upgrade from my MacBook Air 13-inch with the Intel processing chip... That thing was a dinosaur compared to my new MacBook! As a teacher who moves between buildings, having a lightweight and portable laptop is an absolute must, and this MacBook Air delivers. Despite its slim design, it’s incredibly powerful—I use it for grading, lesson planning, editing the yearbook, and even personal tasks, and it never slows down. The Midnight color is absolutely gorgeous, and I get so many compliments on it! The finish is sleek and professional, making it a perfect balance of style and function. Plus, the battery life is phenomenal, lasting me several days without needing to recharge. Speed and efficiency are where this MacBook truly shines. The M4 chip handles everything effortlessly, from multitasking between Google Classroom and Photoshop to streaming and video editing. The screen is crisp and vibrant, making long work sessions much more enjoyable. It does show fingerprints pretty easily, which doesn't bother me. I bought a screen protector and keyboard cover on Amazon for it. If you’re a teacher, student, or just someone looking for a powerful, lightweight, and stunning laptop, this is it! Apple knocked it out of the park with this one. Highly recommend!

Best MacBook Air I have owned.
This M4 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops I have ever owned. No fan, super fast, reliable, and a great screen. If you have owned a M1 MacBook Air, this is the upgrade to get. If this is your first Mac, you'll love it. I'm especially fond of the keyboard, long batter life and if you plug in an extra monitor, you can still use the screen display on the laptop. Thanks Best Buy for the great price!

Lightweight Powerhouse with Stunning Display”
The MacBook Air M4 has been a game-changer for my workflow. The 15-inch screen is the perfect size for multitasking without feeling bulky, and the display is sharp, vibrant, and easy on the eyes. The new M4 chip is blazing fast — everything from video calls to editing large files runs effortlessly. I also appreciate how quiet and cool the laptop stays even during heavy use. The Midnight color gives it a sleek, modern feel. Battery life has also exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants power, portability, and elegance in one machine!
