Aside from a caller color, the M4 MacBook Air looks a full batch for illustration past year’s model. And we’ve sewage the hands-on acquisition and pictures to beryllium it.
Apple’s sewage 5 main updates for its refresh of the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs for 2025. First, it’s sewage a akin M4 spot to the guidelines 14-inch MacBook Pro, though present it starts pinch a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU. Also inherited from the MacBook Pros, the Airs now usage the 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam that’s wider and tin way you wrong the frame. And you tin now (finally) usage 2 outer monitors and support the lid open, fundamentally giving you a fancy triple-monitor setup pinch the lowly MacBook Air.
As for that caller colour option, entity blue, it replaces abstraction gray. Starlight, silver, and midnight are still astir from past twelvemonth (and midnight is unchanged, truthful expect immoderate fingerprint smudginess). The caller bluish is simply a very ray metallic finish. You could correction it for a metallic if you didn’t spot them side-by-side. I deliberation the champion measurement I could picture it is 2003 Toyota Matrix blue. In different words, it’s bully but not bluish enough. Apple should telephone it non-committal blue.
But the 5th point that’s caller for the MacBook Air, and apt the 1 galore of america will attraction astir about, is that it starts astatine a little price. The 13-inch exemplary starts astatine $999 while the 15-inch starts astatine $1,199. This is really a return to shape for the 13-inch, which utilized to commencement astatine that value earlier an summation during the M2 generation. The M4 Air whitethorn beryllium an different subtle chip-bump of an upgrade pinch a caller bland-ish metallic finish, but $100 disconnected makes each the difference.
In summation to our hands-on pinch the MacBook Air we besides sewage our first look astatine the new Mac Studio duo, 1 pinch the M4 Max spot and 1 pinch a new, all-out M3 Ultra. The Studios don’t look immoderate different, but the changes wrong are beautiful awesome for hardcore pros doing immoderate heavy-duty imaginative activity aliases section AI stuff.
And the caller iPad Air pinch M3 chip? Well, it’s an iPad. Cool. I guess?
Apple’s caller Macs and iPads are owed retired adjacent week and already up for order. Check retired our smattering of photos.
The 15-inch MacBook Air remains an impressively bladed and ray instrumentality erstwhile you see its surface size.
But the 13-inch passes my “three digit test.” Which I conjecture I’m making A Thing now.
Yep, this is still entity bluish by the way. And yes, it looks rather metallic successful definite light.
The larboard action remains the same: 1 MagSafe charging larboard and 2 Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C ports.
Still entity bluish successful this pic, too. I swear.
Maybe they should person conscionable named it metallic blue? When is the entity ever this colour unless it’s cloudy?
Admit it: if I didn’t person the sticker connected this starlight M3 MacBook Air it could wholly walk for the M4 model.
Mac Studio M4 Max / M3 Ultra
The beforehand ports connected the M4 Max Mac Studio stay USB-C, pinch its 4 rear ports getting Thunderbolt 5. But each six ports are Thunderbolt 5 connected the M3 Ultra model.
This is the M3 Ultra Mac Studio, which of course, looks conscionable for illustration each the others. But it’s really 2 pounds heavier than the M4 Max acknowledgment to its beefier soul cooling system.
A $599 11-inch M3 iPad Air pinch its caller $269 Magic Keyboard. That usability statement judge is costly.
