Apple just updated the MacBook Air with an M4 processor, a new sky blue color option, and — most surprising of all — a lower price. The 13-inch starts at $999, while the 15-inch begins at $1,199. They’re available to order now and launch on March 12th.
As The Verge reports, both 13- and 15-inch models of the MacBook Air will ship with the newer chips, aligning them with the recent Mac Mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro and adding support for two external displays with the lid still open. The design is the same, though Apple added the 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam that’s available on the current MacBook Pros.
The entry-level model has an M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory, and 256GB of storage. It can be further configured with a 10-core GPU (matching the base 14-inch MacBook Pro) with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.
