Overview

The Apple MacBook Air "M4" 10-Core CPU/10-Core GPU 13-Inch (2025) model is driven by a 4.4 GHz Apple M4 processor, which includes 10 cores (4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It comes with either 16 GB or 24 GB of "unified" default onboard RAM and a 512 GB onboard SSD. Both RAM and SSD can be configured for higher capacities when the notebook is first purchased, but neither can be upgraded later.


This is all contained within a uniformly thin aluminum case that has an integrated 1080p HD 12-megapixel "Center Stage" webcam with "Desk View" support, a four-speaker sound system, Touch ID, a backlit "Magic Keyboard," a large "Force Touch" trackpad, and a high-resolution 13.6-inch LED-backlit 2560x1664 (224 ppi, 500 nits) "Liquid Retina" display with Wide Color (P3) and True Tone technology.


The aluminum case is offered in four colors: light "Sky Blue" (pictured, left), dark blue "Midnight," a warm gray "Starlight," and classic silver, and it weighs 2.7 pounds (1.24 kg). Apple projects a battery life of 15-18 hours, depending on the task. It ships by default with a MagSafe 3-equipped 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter but can also be configured with a single fast-charge 70W USB-C Power Adapter at no extra charge.


Connectivity includes 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, two Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.


Compared to their M3 predecessors, the MacBook Air "M4" models utilize the same housings but boast a faster architecture, a higher-quality webcam, expanded external display support, a new color option (Sky Blue), and lower prices.

Evaluation

The M4 MacBook Air with a 10-core GPU was reviewed as a significant leap, primarily due to the impressive performance and efficiency of the new M4 chip. This model demonstrated notable gains in CPU-intensive tasks and graphics, making it a true powerhouse for creative professionals. The upgraded 1080p 'Center Stage' webcam was praised for its superior quality. Support for up to two external displays with the lid open or closed was a major highlight, offering unprecedented versatility. The new 'Sky Blue' color option was also well-received. It was hailed as a substantial upgrade, setting a new benchmark for performance in an ultraportable design.
