The Apple MacBook Air M4 is a fast, quality productivity machine and it now starts at its lowest base price. I just wish it were more blue.

The screen on the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina Display. That gives you a 2880x1864 pixel resolution (the 13-inch is 13.6-inch at 2560x1664 pixels) and 500 nits of brightness. This is one area where the Air lacks compared to the MacBook Pro – which gives you up to 1600 nits peak HDR brightness and 1000 nits sustained.

Right now, you can get the near-maxed out M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM for just $1,099 at Amazon. That’s a massive $300 saving, which makes this one of the biggest laptop deals I’ve seen this year (so far).
