100% The Apple MacBook Air 15in M4 is surprisingly affordable and also blue – but it doesn't last as long as the Pro
Quelle: It Pro EN→DE
The first question to ask yourself (or your business) here is what do you want the Air for? If you're a new business with a fondness for Apple hardware, the Pro, though more expensive, is the better laptop (longer battery life, Wi-Fi 7, slightly faster). And it feels more like a work machine, too. That being said, the Apple MacBook Air M4, with its larger 15in display, is a smashing machine. It looks good (the blue is swish), it has a nice keyboard, it's fast, and the battery life is decent. Prices start at $899 (£899), which is surprisingly affordable.

Apple MacBook Air (15.3″, M4) review – The Best Laptop You Can’t Upgrade?
Quelle: Laptop Media EN→DE
The Apple MacBook Air 15 (M4) is the quintessential MacBook Air experience, just bigger. It takes the winning formula of its smaller sibling – silent performance, a premium feel, and an incredibly intuitive user experience, and stretches it onto a larger, more immersive 15-inch canvas. It is a masterclass in industrial design and a near-perfect machine for everyday productivity, students, and anyone who values a silent, elegant, and reliable workhorse. However, it is not a “Pro” machine, and its identity is defined as much by its deliberate limitations as by its many strengths. This is a laptop that knows exactly what it is and, for the right user, it is absolutely brilliant.

I tested Apple’s M4 MacBook Air, the best boring laptop I’ve ever used
Quelle: CNN underscored EN→DE
After all of my testing and typing was done, I’ve returned to the same conclusion I had last year: the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is the laptop I’m telling nearly everyone to get. Unless you need a laptop small enough for a seat-back tray on a plane (get the 13-inch MacBook Air or think about the iPad Mini), the combination of a larger display with Apple’s nimble M4 performance and excellent keyboard is hard to argue against. Those who prefer a laptop with a touchscreen should check out the Microsoft Surface Laptop and the Lenovo Slim 7x, and especially the former if you like USB-A. Lastly, anyone who’s got a MacBook Air with M2 or M3? Unless you really need that extra 20% or so performance or really fancy this Sky Blue design, I think you’re already good.

The 2025 MacBook Air 15 M4 is frustratingly good—offering incredible performance, battery life, and design at a price most Windows laptops can’t match. In this review, I break down why it might be the best value laptop for creators, even if you’re loyal to Windows.

You really don’t need a more powerful computer…you just need the MacBook Air M4
Quelle: The Indian Express EN→DE
With a starting price of Rs 124,900, I think the new MacBook Air offers the best and most dependable computer for a lot of people, who don’t really need to do serious video editing or 3D imaging. I would like you to consider the size before committing yourself to the 15-inch model. The 13-inch one is cheaper though it packs the same punch. But whatever the size, this could be the best option for students and office workers. If you find it expensive, just remember that MacBooks last for over seven years ideally and the cost of ownership then works out cheaper. This is an investment you will complement yourself for as it will outlive many regimes and tech fads.

MacBook Air M4 review: Efficient, fast, and ahead of Windows competition
Quelle: Business Standard EN→DE
Priced at Rs 144,900 (for the reviewed 15-inch variant), the MacBook Air with M4 strikes a solid balance between portability, performance, and battery life. While it does not radically change the formula, it improves upon a proven one with smarter hardware choices and enhanced software features. For most users, it remains a no-compromise solution that feels familiar yet refreshingly current. That said, the MacBook Air with M4 is a cost-effective laptop suitable for students, working professionals, and general users seeking a capable thin-and-light laptop.

I can't recommend the 15-inch MacBook Air enough, even if it's not for me
Quelle: Zdnet.com EN→DE
The MacBook Air M4 is still one of the most complete packages you can ask for when it comes to creativity, productivity, and everyday use. The M4 Air's sleek and lightweight form factor set the standard for ultraportables, and not much has changed with its design since, for better or for worse. If you have an iPhone and enjoy Apple's ecosystem of products, the MacBook Air is a solid choice as a main driver. If you already have a Mac that's more than a few years old, the MacBook Air M4 will feel like a significant upgrade. If you have an M2 Pro or M3, the leap will feel less noticeable. If you're coming from an older Windows device, well, you'll wonder how you ever took calls on your 720p webcam at all. Considering all of this, the MacBook Air M4 is a modest upgrade from its predecessor but pushes the line forward overall.

100% I've tested the new MacBook Air for a week – here's why M4 is such a winner
Quelle: T3 EN→DE
The MacBook Air continues to impress – and this bump in performance, thanks to the M4 chip, makes it an unbelievably powerful option in both sizes. For portability, the 13-inch is still my choice, but if you do want a larger screen, the 15-inch is still impressively thin and lightweight, making it easy to slip into your bag. On paper, the screen brightness and performance of the MacBook Air suggests a big step down from the MacBook Pro – but I found the screen to still be very impressive. So, unless that extra brightness and refresh rate are critical for your work, you won’t feel short-changed. Overall, the MacBook Air M4 offers both power and portability unlike anything else in the market. While little has changed generation to generation, the Air remains a shining example of a laptop done right.

90% Apple M4 MacBook Air review: A really good deal
Quelle: Mashable EN→DE
Yes. Absolutely. The new MacBook Air is cheaper than before, and runs Apple's most powerful chip (well, its basic variant) while being dead silent. The webcam is better, the battery life is great, and just about the only negatives we can think is low number of ports and the fact that the display's refresh rate only goes to 60Hz.

90% M4 MacBook Air Review (15-Inch, 2025): Best MacBook for Most People Gets Faster, Cheaper
Quelle: CNet EN→DE
Most laptop shoppers kicking the tires on the 15-inch MacBook Air are also eyeing, I'd imagine, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is an excellent laptop in either size, so how do you decide which way to go? The 13-inch model costs $200 less and is roughly half a pound lighter, making it more affordable and portable -- and the more popular of the two. But I'd argue the 15-inch Air is the better pick for most people since most people don't use their MacBook connected to an external display. The 15.3-inch display on the larger Air provides enough workspace to obviate the need for a multidisplay setup -- even if the M4 Airs do offer better support for external displays.

The latest MacBook Air 15-inch (M4) offers cutting-edge Apple silicon, with some great features, a brilliant thin and light design and some of the best speakers you'll find in a laptop. However, if you already own an M2 or M3 MacBook Air, you might not feel like the performance leap the M4 chip offers is big enough to justify buying the new MacBook Air.

90% Apple MacBook Air M4 review – the sky’s the limit from $1699
Quelle: Gadgetguy EN→DE
PC laptops really have moved leaps and bounds in the past year or so, thanks to the rise of “AI PC” chips from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm. These are closing the gap with Apple’s silicon, and they finally offer decent performance at much greater energy efficiency. However, while good, the new M4 chip shows that few can compete with the MacBook Air’s outstanding combination of design, capability and quality. When it’s all said and done, what I value the most about the 15in MacBook Air is its amazing ‘unplugged’ processing power while still delivering 8+ hour battery life, the large 15.3-inch screen, the quiet, fan-less operation and lovely, sleek design.

90% I used Apple's 15-inch M4 MacBook Air for a week — it's like last year's model, but with an extra shot of espresso
Quelle: Tom's Guide EN→DE
The MacBook Air 15-inch M4 isn’t all that different from its predecessor but it’s still excellent for anyone interested in a larger Air laptop. I like its fast performance, long battery life and superb display quality most of all, but I also appreciate the updated 12MP camera and new Sky Blue color. And with a sticker price that’s $100 less than the M3 model, this laptop is almost too good to be true. That said, if you own the M3 model, you don’t need to upgrade since that’s still a brilliant machine that can do almost anything the new version can—including all the same Apple Intelligence features. In short, you’re not missing much by not upgrading. Though I would recommend the $999 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for most people, its 15-inch sibling is easily my second recommendation. It’s one of my favorite laptops of the year so far.

100% Apple MacBook Air review (M4, 2025): you get a little more for a little less
Quelle: Stuff TV EN→DE
The MacBook Air M4 clearly takes things on a step from the M3, with various small improvements combined with that lower starting price. And as such, it can’t really be argued with as a potential purchase (unless you can pick up an M3 at a low price before that completely disappears). While Intel, AMD and Snapdragon Windows ultraportables are improving all the time, they can’t quite match the performance and battery life on show here. Although it can’t quite beat the step up that we saw with the M2 in 2022, it shows that Apple is determined to keep ahead of its rivals on performance.

80% Apple MacBook Air 15-Inch (2025, M4) Review
Quelle: PC Mag EN→DE
On the whole, this is the best the 15-inch MacBook Air has ever been. For the deep-pocketed Apple loyalist, who may have an M3 Air, this model will feel improved enough to justify grabbing one for that fancy new colorway and improved webcam. However, for M3 owners who don’t have that kind of dough to throw around, wait until the eventual M5 model before you upgrade. Even if you have an original 15-inch Air, you might think twice before clicking that buy button and hold out hope for a more profound redesign in 2026. Why? Based on our testing, comparable PC laptops in 2025 now challenge the 15-inch Air. We suspect this is part of why Apple dropped the starting price by $100, and with its midrange to high-end configurations, by several hundred.

90% Apple MacBook Air 15 (M4, 2025) review: a near-perfect large-display laptop
Quelle: Digital Trends EN→DE
The MacBook Air 15 is about as near to perfect as it can be without quite making it. It’s incredibly well built, it’s insanely thin and light but doesn’t feel flimsy, and it looks great. It’s fast enough for the most demanding productivity users, and it has multi-day battery life. It’s also reasonably affordable, although it remains a premium laptop. The base configuration at $1,299 is all most people will need, and it offers up plenty of performance. Unless you’re a gamer or heavy-duty creator — both of which can be important in larger machines like this — or you really need Windows, you should just grab a MacBook Air 15 and save yourself a bunch of time.

90% Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M4 review: Rarified Air
Quelle: Laptop Mag EN→DE
The MacBook Air 15-inch M4 is a fairly unique laptop, delivering a larger screen in what is basically a 14-inch chassis, but it has far more than that to offer. The M4 chip brings the Air back among the top-performing mainstream premium laptops while offering over 15 hours of battery life. The bright display makes it ideal for frequent travelers or anyone who is often working in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. That combination along with its reasonable pricing makes this one of the best student laptops. While I would like to see Apple upgrade the display on the MacBook Air, that's more of a wish than a serious complaint as it is a good LCD panel. The limited ports are my biggest frustration with the 15-inch Air, and I'd concede it isn't a concern that will bother many users.

Once again, the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air are basically everything we want from ultraportable notebooks. They’re zippy, wonderfully light and can last well beyond a full day of work.

And now that the MacBook Air starts at $999, even Windows users should consider making the jump.

100% 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) review: A Mac rhapsody in (sky) blue
Quelle: Macworld.co.uk EN→DE
In my M3 MacBook Air review last year, I said it was “the best laptop choice for just about anyone.” With the M4 MacBook Air, that holds, but this laptop is better. The M3 Air’s clamshell compromise with the external display support was a deal killer for a lot of users. So, the M4 Air’s expanded external display support is a more important upgrade than the performance improvements. Don’t get me wrong, though–faster is always better. The 12MP Center Stage camera is an overdue upgrade that makes Apple’s general consumer laptop feel more professional. It’s also cheaper by $100 across the board. The model we tested that sells for $1,399 would have been $1,499 for the same specs with an M3 chip. That’s a nice and surprising discount, especially considering you get twice the RAM you got when the M3 launched in March 2024.

Apple MacBook Air with M4 Review: Thin in Size, Price, and Sometimes Performance
Quelle: Petapixel EN→DE
Maybe. The MacBook Air with M4 is a sleek laptop powerful enough for many light and medium-duty photo workflows and very light video ones. However, it comes with limitations. It is not powerful enough to excel in high-end video editing workflows, and its fanless design poses problems during extended use. Only having two Thunderbolt 4 ports is also occasionally an issue, although one that can be overcome through a hub, even though that starts to undercut the portability and value factors of the machine. That said, if you are not a power user, the MacBook Air could be more than enough computer for you. Plus, it is as easy on the wallet as on the eyes, which never hurts. If I had a nice desktop at home, and wanted something cheap and simple for occasional work on the road? The MacBook Air is a great choice. But if I wanted a do-it-all machine? The MacBook Pro is the definite pick.

Apple M4 10-Core GPU: Eine integrierte Grafikkarte, die von Apple entwickelt wurde und über 10 Kerne verfügt. Diese iGPU ist in Apple M4 SoCs (sowohl in der 9-Kern- als auch in der 10-Kern-Variante) integriert. Sie verwendet die Unified-Memory-Architektur und unterscheidet sich in Bezug auf die Funktionen nicht allzu sehr von der 10-Kern-M3-GPU. Erste Benchmark-Vergleiche zwischen der 10-Core M4 GPU und der 10-Core M3 GPU deuten auf einen Leistungszuwachs von bis zu 15% hin. 

Diese Klasse ist noch durchaus fähig neueste Spiele flüssig darzustellen, nur nicht mehr mit allen Details und in hohen Auflösungen. Besonders anspruchsvolle Spiele laufen nur in minimalen Detailstufen, wodurch die grafische Qualität oft deutlich leidet. Diese Klasse ist nur noch für Gelegenheitsspieler empfehlenswert. Der Stromverbrauch von modernen Grafikkarten in dieser Klasse ist dafür geringer und erlaubt auch bessere Akkulaufzeiten.

» Weitere Informationen gibt es in unserem Notebook-Grafikkartenvergleich und der Benchmarkliste.

M4 (10 cores): Der Apple M4 (10 Kerne) ist ein System-on-a-Chip auf ARM-Architektur mit 10 CPU-Kernen, einer Neural Engine mit 16 Kernen und einer GPU mit 10 Kernen und RT-Unterstützung. Der M4 wurde im Mai 2024 im Rahmen eines iPad-Launch-Events vorgestellt; er verfügt über 4 Leistungskerne, die mit bis zu 4,4 GHz laufen, was eine deutliche Verbesserung gegenüber dem M3 und dessen Höchsttaktfrequenz von 4,06 GHz darstellt. Außerdem verfügt dieser neue Chip über 4 Performance-Kerne und 6 Effizienz-Kerne, während der M3 mit 4 Performance-Kernen und 4 Effizienz-Kernen auskommen musste.» Weitere Infos gibt es in unserem Prozessorvergleich Vergleich mobiler Prozessoren und der Prozessoren Benchmarkliste .
