At the risk of repeating myself from Engadget's MacBook Air M1, M2 and M3 reviews: The M4-equipped MacBook Air is a nearly flawless ultraportable. Even better, it now starts at $999, which is $100 less than before.

MacBook Air with the M3 chip has been on the market for less than a year, so it is at the absolute peak of Apple’s powers. An 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU driven by the M3 give this MacBook absolutely insane levels of speed whether you’re using the Air for productivity or pleasure — 1.

The big narrative that all reviewers enjoyed was that Apple kept the base price of the MacBook Air M4 reasonable. It starts at the same price as the MacBook Air M3, which is $999 for the 13-inch model and $1,199 for the 15-inch model.
