Partly because it was the last of Apple's core line of devices to get the M4 chip, and partly because, well, last year's MacBook Air M3 was (and still is) one of the best laptops we've tested -- a future-proofed " AI computer for the masses" that could be seen as a successful culmination of Apple's design.

This is no ordinary laptop refresh: The 2025 MacBook Air with M4 chip is Apple's first consumer machine built from scratch for Apple Intelligence, the suite of AI-powered features transforming how you'll interact with your Mac. The Retina display on this 13.6-inch gadget shows sharp text and brilliant colors at a resolution of 2560×1664, with 500 nits of brightness that makes everything from spreadsheets to Netflix binges look crisp and clear.
