Hold onto your wallets, Apple fans! The rumors are swirling, the leaks are dropping, and the hype is building: the MacBook Air M4 is coming... soon! If you're even thinking about buying a new ultraportable laptop, put that credit card down and read this first. According to TBC's information the next-gen MacBook Air, powered by the beastly M4 chip, could be unveiled as early as March. Here's why it's worth the wait – and why settling for an older model is a HUGE mistake.
Let's be honest, the MacBook Air has always been a looker. Sleek, slim, and undeniably stylish. But the M4 isn't just about aesthetics, it's a performance powerhouse. While the exterior might be similar to its predecessors, the M4 chip promises a "significantly more powerful" experience, thanks to the latest Apple Silicon. Think entry-level MacBook Pro performance in an Air chassis. YES, PLEASE!
TBC's Insider:
1. More Compute, Graphics, and AI Oomph: Forget struggling with demanding tasks. The M4 chip, boasting 10 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores (same as the entry-level MacBook Pro M4!), will tear through anything you throw at it. Plus, a new Neural Processing Unit (NPU) means enhanced Apple Intelligence experiences – think AI-powered features that’ll make your jaw drop.
2. More RAM, Same Annoying Storage: Thank the tech gods! Apple seemingly heard our prayers (or noticed all the complaints). The base model is likely to ship with at least 16GB of RAM. Translation: Smoother multitasking, faster load times, and a generally happier you. The bad news? Expect the same stingy 256GB of base storage. Time to upgrade, folks.
3. Double the External Screen Fun: This is HUGE. The current MacBook Air's only allow support for one external screen. The M4 MacBook Air could be that to support two external displays, even when the lid is open. Say goodbye to single-monitor misery and hello to ultimate productivity.
4. Apple Intelligence Unleashed: Get ready for a mind-blowing AI takeover. The MacBook Air M4 series is likely to ship with macOS Sequoia, featuring full-fledged Apple Intelligence experiences like writing tools, AI Playground, and an improved Siri. Translation: Your MacBook will actually be SMART.
5. Two Sizes, Double the Choice: Just like the M3, the M4 will come in 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch models. The bigger model gets better speakers and a larger battery (potentially upwards of 18 hours!), while the smaller variant could last up to 15 hours. Netflix binges, anyone?
The best part? The price is likely to remain unchanged, starting around Rs 1,14,900 (like the MacBook Air M3). So, for the same price, you're getting a SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful machine with a host of new features. Why would you buy anything else?
