Macworld According to the latest reports, the new M4 MacBook Air is due to arrive “within weeks” and for Apple, it may not be soon enough. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the current M3 MacBook Air–it’s Apple’s best laptop.

The new M4 MacBook Air is coming “ relatively soon ” and for Apple, it may not be soon enough. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the current M3 MacBook Air–it’s Apple’s best laptop. It offers a great combination of performance, portability, and price for the customer.

Apple's M4 MacBook Air may be out as soon as the week of February 17. Here's what to expect from Apple's first Mac release of 2025.

As of Feb. 10, the 2024 MacBook Air with M3 chip is on sale for $899 at Amazon — that’s $200 off its usual $1,099 price.

Right now, the M3 MacBook Air sits at the top of our best laptops list. We recommend it as the best laptop for most people, and that’s because of its strong price-to-performance ratio. The M4 MacBook Air may just be a refresh with little-to-no changes, but I don’t see it climbing to the top without an alluring price point.
