Know before you buy
Yes, the M4 chip is highly capable for creative tasks. With its 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU, it handles photo editing, graphic design, and light video editing with ease, making it a great choice for creative professionals who need portability.
Not at all. The M4 chip is designed to be incredibly power-efficient, allowing the MacBook Air to stay cool without the need for a fan. It will remain silent even during demanding workflows.
Yes, this model supports up to two external displays. This is a significant upgrade that allows for a more expansive workspace when you are working at a desk.
Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system integrated into macOS that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done more efficiently. It leverages the 16-core Neural Engine on the M4 chip to perform advanced tasks like summarizing text, refining your writing, and organizing notifications directly on your device.
The Center Stage camera uses software to automatically pan and zoom, keeping you perfectly framed in the center of the shot as you move around. It is particularly helpful for presentations or when you need to move freely during a video call.
For most users, 256GB is sufficient for documents, photos, and standard applications. However, if you plan to store large video files, high-resolution photo libraries, or many creative projects, you may want to consider using cloud storage or an external drive.
