2025 MacBook Air 15-inch Laptop with M4 chip: Built for Apple Intelligence, 15.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage, 12MP Center Stage Camera, Touch ID; Midnight

I’ve been a full-time Mac user at home since 1998 for personal and graphic design use, and I’ve been a full-time windows user since 2002 for work. Most of my home computers are Macs, though I do have one PC I use for gaming and tech-support.I bought this MacBook to replace an aging Windows laptop I had, and I’ve been tickled to death with it—the screen is plenty large, it’s got plenty of RAM for everything I run concurrently (Internet, email, Microsoft Office, RustDesk), it only weighs a couple of pounds, and it seems like the battery just lasts for days (I typically use it for 30 minutes to 3 hours at a time).I am so thankful they brought back the MagSafe charger, I haven’t had anyone kick the cable and disconnect it from my laptop yet, but I have several small grandchildren, and it’s nice to be prepared. The charging brick has two USB-C ports on it, so I can plug in a charging cable for my phone as well. The laptop has two USB-C ports as well as a 1/8 inch audio jack.I bought the model with the 15 inch screen, 24 GB of RAM, and 500 GB SSD.I think the only thing I don’t love about this laptop is the trackpad: it is nice and large, and has left and right click, but I just don’t like the feel of it, though to be honest, I don’t like the feel of trackpads in general – – I miss the track stick that was on my work-issued Lenovo laptop. The remedy is I just simply bought an inexpensive Bluetooth mouse and that works perfect, no extra dongles.I had been planning to buy a MacBook Pro, but since I don’t really do freelance anymore, I couldn’t justify the expense. It’s just as well, this laptop has all the power I need and more.

The media could not be loaded. The MacBook Air M4 15-inch feels extremely premium and well-built. The aluminum body is solid, lightweight, and has no flex, so it feels durable and high quality in the hands. The finish looks clean and modern, and the laptop has that smooth, polished Apple design that stands out immediately.The screen is one of the best parts — the larger 15-inch display gives plenty of space for school work, editing, and multitasking. Everything looks sharp, bright, and comfortable to view for long periods.The keyboard feels crisp and responsive, and the trackpad is easily one of the best I’ve ever used — very smooth and accurate. The laptop is also completely silent since it has no fan, and it stays cool during normal everyday use.Overall, the MacBook Air M4 15-inch feels like a high-end machine that’s perfect for students, creators, and anyone who wants a fast, reliable laptop with excellent build quality and a beautiful display.
