The new M4 MacBook Air is even better for business – Computerworld

I also think the combination of a better processor with more built-in memory makes this model a compelling upgrade proposition, even if you are running an M2 MacBook Air, and certainly for M1 users. Of course, if you are using an Intel-based Mac of any kind, then any M-series Mac is a significant upgrade. (You also get a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera for those inevitable video meetings that punctuate most days.)

What’s like blue, but not as heavy?

Light blue is the new color to show off. It’s quite a subtle blue — nothing like a sky blue — but pleasing all the same. To my mind, it’s more a blue-tinged silver. But the votes in my house are broadly positive for the new shade, which will no doubt appear in student halls, coffee shops, meeting rooms, and offices near you in the coming months.

However, every silver lining comes wrapped up in its very own cloud, and the M4 MacBook Air is no different. The design hasn’t shifted one iota — it’s still aluminum, still beautiful, and now features more than 55% recycled content, including a 100% recycled aluminum enclosure. It also means a 13.6-in. display in my test unit, a 2,560×1,664-pixel resolution, two Thunderbolt 4, headphone, and one MagSafe 3 port.  If you want more display space, you’ve got it: the M4 Air will run up to two external displays in addition to the built-in Mac display.
