NEW MACBOOK AIR AND MAC STUDIO UNLEASH M4 MIGHT

Launched on March 4, 2025, these machines hit the scene with a bang, available for order now on apple.com and landing in stores on March 11. The MacBook Air, now flaunting a fresh Sky Blue finish, starts at a budget-friendly $999, while the Mac Studio, tailored for pros, flexes its upgraded silicon starting at $1,999—a price point unchanged from its M2 predecessor.

This week’s double launch showcases Apple’s relentless drive to push its M-series chips across the Mac lineup, hot on the heels of last fall’s M4 MacBook Pro and Mac mini debuts. Apple Newsroom hailed the MacBook Air as “the world’s most popular laptop” reborn, and the Mac Studio as “the most powerful Mac ever,” a claim backed by beefy specs and a new Thunderbolt 5 boost.

For the 80 percent of U.S. adults tethered to smartphones (Pew Research, 2023), these aren’t just devices—they’re a promise of seamless work and play. What’s fueling this silicon surge, how do these Macs stack up against their past selves, and why’s this drop a big deal now? Here’s a full rundown of Apple’s latest, grounded in this week’s sharpest insights.

Apple lifted the curtain on the MacBook Air earlier this week, ushering in the M4 chip to its lightweight champ in 13-inch and 15-inch flavors. Weighing in at 1.1 kg for the 13-inch and 1.5 kg for the 15-inch, it’s as portable as ever, but the The real story is under the hood, Apple detailed on its MacBook Air page. The M4 chip—10-core CPU with four performance and six efficiency cores, paired with a 10-core GPU—delivers a 50 percent CPU speed boost over the M2 Air from 2022, per Apple’s own tests. That’s a leap from the M2’s 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU, making tasks like 4K video editing or app juggling a breeze.
