Apple's fastest processor, an industry-best Liquid Retina display, and Apple Intelligence AI make the 2025 MacBook Air the total package.

Apple has been pushing personal computing in many significant ways since the release of its M1 chip less than four years ago, and with the newest launch of the MacBook Pro M4, it is doing so once ...

Apple unveils the M4 MacBook Air, promising up to 2x the speed of the M1 model and a major performance boost over Intel-based versions.

For $1,499, Apple will bump you up to a fully enabled M4 chip with 10 CPU cores (four performance cores, six efficiency cores) and 10 GPU cores, four Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back, a gigabit ...

If you need more storage, the 512GB model is on sale for $1,000 ($200 off). The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is also on sale for $1 ...
