Hey there! So, I’ve been a Windows user forever, but last week, I decided to try something new—the MacBook Air M4. Apple just dropped this laptop in 2025, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride figuring it out. It’s not a total game-changer from last year’s model, but it’s got some cool upgrades that make it snappier and smoother. Plus, the 13-inch version is $100 cheaper, which is awesome for a broke teenager like me (just kidding, but it’s still a sweet deal!). I’ve been testing the MacBook Air M4 for seven days now, and here’s what I think so far. A bigger review’s coming later, but for now, these are my first thoughts.
Better Stuff for Less Money
The MacBook Air M4 got some nice hardware boosts. The basic version has a 10-core CPU and an 8-core GPU, which is better than the 8-core chip in the old M3. If you go fancy, you can get up to 32GB of memory—last year, it stopped at 24GB. So, you’re getting more power, and it doesn’t even cost more. That’s a win! It’s perfect if you’re looking for a thin, light laptop that can keep up with schoolwork or whatever you’re into.
Video Calls That Don’t Suck
Coming from Windows, the webcam on the MacBook Air M4 blew my mind. It’s super clear, bright, and doesn’t lag at all. The sound’s great too. Whether I’m video chatting with friends or pretending to pay attention in online class, it’s way better than my old setup. Windows laptops can have good cameras, but it’s hit or miss. With the MacBook Air M4, it’s just good every time—no stress, no tweaking.

The Screen’s Still Amazing
I tried the 15-inch MacBook Air M4, and yeah, it’s light and thin, but other brands like the LG Gram Pro 16 are sneaking up with even bigger screens and lighter designs. Still, the MacBook Air M4 has this killer display called Liquid Retina. Everything looks sharp—text, videos, even my goofy wallpapers. It can show a billion colors, which is nuts! Plus, you can hook up two extra monitors with the lid open, which is clutch for homework or gaming. I plugged it into my setup with the Thunderbolt 4 ports, and it worked like magic.
Oh, and multitasking? So easy. There’s this Launchpad thing, split-screen mode, and a smarter Siri that actually listens. Arranging my windows is satisfying too—I’m picky about that stuff.
Work and Play Made Simple
The MacBook Air M4 has this cool feature called Center Stage for video calls. It keeps you in the middle of the screen, even if you move around. I use it all the time for school meetings, and it’s honestly fun. The 12MP webcam makes me look good (well, better than usual), and it’s great for FaceTime too. Another thing I love is Presenter Preview. It lets you peek at what your screen share looks like before showing it to everyone. No more awkward “oops, wrong tab” moments!
With more memory, extra screen support, and these little software tricks, the MacBook Air M4 feels like the ultimate laptop for getting stuff done. Each upgrade seems small, but together? It’s a beast for students, workers, or anyone who wants a solid machine.
So yeah, my week with the MacBook Air M4 was awesome. It’s fast, looks great, and makes everything from calls to projects feel smooth. If you’re thinking about switching from Windows—or just want a new laptop—this one’s worth checking out.
