The Apple MacBook Air M4 16GB 256GB is a lightweight, powerful laptop designed for work, school, business, entertainment and creative tasks. It was introduced in 2025 and features Apple's M4 chip, with 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD in the base configuration. Apple offers the M4 Air in both 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch versions.
M4 Performance
The M4 chip features a 10-core CPU, a 16-core Neural Engine and either an 8-core or 10-core GPU depending on the configuration. It is built to handle everyday multitasking as well as more demanding applications such as photo editing, programming and video editing. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing and dedicated media engines also improve graphics and video-processing performance.
With 16GB unified memory, the laptop is well suited to running multiple applications simultaneously. You can work with browsers, Microsoft Office applications, video calls and other programs without the limitations commonly associated with entry-level 8GB laptops.
256GB SSD Storage
The 256GB SSD provides fast startup, application loading and file access. It is suitable for documents, schoolwork, office files, photos and everyday applications. However, users who store many large videos, games or creative projects may find 256GB limiting. The MacBook Air can be configured with larger storage options such as 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
Liquid Retina Display
The 13.6-inch model features a Liquid Retina display with a 2560 × 1664 resolution, 224 pixels per inch and up to 500 nits brightness. It supports True Tone, P3 wide colour and up to one billion colours, producing sharp text and vibrant images.
The larger 15.3-inch version provides a 2880 × 1864 resolution and is a better option if you frequently work with spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows.
Battery Life
Battery life is another major strength. Apple rates the M4 MacBook Air for up to 18 hours of video streaming and up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing, although real-world battery life varies according to brightness, applications and workload. The 13-inch model has a 53.8Wh battery.
It charges through MagSafe 3 and can also be fast-charged using a 70W USB-C power adapter.
Connectivity
The laptop includes:
2 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C ports
MagSafe 3 charging
3.5mm headphone jack
Wi-Fi 6E
Bluetooth 5.3
The Thunderbolt ports support data transfer, charging and DisplayPort. The M4 MacBook Air can also support up to two external displays while using its built-in screen.
Camera and Audio
For online meetings and video calls, the M4 MacBook Air includes a 12MP Center Stage camera, which can automatically keep you centred during calls. It also features a three-microphone array designed to improve voice clarity.
The built-in speakers support Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos, providing a more immersive experience when watching movies or listening to compatible music.
Design and Portability
The MacBook Air maintains Apple's slim, fanless design, meaning it operates quietly during normal use. The 13-inch version is particularly convenient for students, professionals and people who travel frequently.
