Looking for an<\/span> Apple laptop with a bigger screen? You’re in luck, as the 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 CPU is currently marked down by $200 on Amazon in a variety of configurations and colors, including the new Sky Blue finish. It’s a great fit for work or play, and only serious power users will need to consider upgrading to the MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Photograph: Luke Larsen<\/p>\n Apple<\/p>\n This generation of MacBook Air got a big upgrade in the form of a new M4 processor, which boosts performance and adds support for a number of much-desired features. According to our reviewer Luke Larsen, the updated M4 chip \u201cis 22 percent faster GPU, 31 percent multi-core, and 18 percent single-core, as measured in Cinebench R24.\u201d It manages that performance bump without any fans, so it stays nice and quiet, even when you fire up Baldur’s Gate 3.<\/em> The extra GPU power also helps the system run two extra screens with the lid open, a feat the previous year’s model couldn’t pull off.<\/p>\n Battery life is also a standout feature of MacBooks over the years, and this year’s model is no different. In our testing, it ran for over 20 hours while playing a local video, more than enough to get you through a rough day of work or a long flight. It did drain a bit faster when working actively, but still managed four and a half hours even when stressed, which should help alleviate any battery anxiety. It has an excellent keyboard, trackpad, and speakers too, making it a perfect fit for handling a variety of daily work and fun tasks.<\/p>\n While availability varies a little by color and size, you’ll get about a $200 discount regardless of the model you buy. The most basic version has 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD, with an option to upgrade to 512GB of storage for $200 more. The top spec version also has a 512GB SSD, with 24GB of unified memory, but you’re paying a significant $200 fee for the extra 8GB of memory.
