MacBook Air 2025 M4: A Game-Changer in the Laptop Market
Introduction
Friends, this laptop is obviously a MacBook Air 2025 M4 base. But I was talking to everyone about this laptop & I'll tell you what, I mean literally, it's not like Apple has launched something new. But this might just revolutionize the laptop market in India or globally.
Why the MacBook Air 2025 M4 Stands Out
And I'm saying this responsibly as I was looking at this laptop & its price & what it can do. And I'll tell you what, I'm so thoroughly impressed. I mean, it's for everyone. If you do heavy, light, video, audio, video editing, graphics, anything, you can do it on this MacBook Air M4 2025 Edition. And that too at a cost which is much less. This might be the highest value for money in the entire laptop ecosystem.
Unboxing the MacBook Air 2025 M4
Apple has sent us this laptop, they haven't given us money to talk about all this. I'm very happy, especially for the consumers. You'll get to know, when I tell you everything about the laptop, you'll come to know about it. By the way, do SUBSCRIBE! It takes a lot of effort. You just have to touch it. That's about it!
I mean, even MacBook Pro users will prefer the MacBook Air at least 50% or more. 1st is the portability factor, it's amazing! What else is there in the box? By the way, it's a dual port adapter of 35W which you get in the box & that's nice. If you take the upper variant, then you get a 70W single USB Type C adapter when you're buying online. Then you have the documentation. And then the MagSafe charging cable, USB Type C to MagSafe. You might think it's grey or white, but it's kind of blue, colour coded. Whatever colour you take from the laptop, it'll look very nice. That's all there is in the box, let's keep this aside. Let's open this beast! Seriously, the MacBook Air is a beast!
Design and Build Quality
I remember in 2017-18, when people used to buy the MacBook Air. I mean, even then a lot of people had to buy it, but it was always kind of expensive. I mean, if I talk about the power, then you'd get a good Windows laptop with the same power. But this, with this M4 chipset, I'll tell you the price. This has been launched in Rs 99,900, Rs 10,000 off, Rs 90,000 for exchange. So generally, people are going to get it for Rs 75-80K. And if I compare it with the M3's previous generation, the launch price has gone down. And a lot of things have doubled. For example, RAM used to be 8GB, now it's 16GB.
By the way, let's talk about this colour. If I talk about the colour, it looks grey to me. It's a sky blue colour, but it looks grey to me. They've added a little bit of blue in it, that's about it. And then you have that nice, lovely logo. Look at the bottom, it's flat, nothing, no vents, nothing. It's a fanless design, absolutely no problems. If I talk about the weight, it's 1.5KG, 1.22KG, 1.22KG. It feels like everything is stuffed inside it. But yeah, it's 1.22KG, so it's very light & very portable. It comes with 2 variants, 13 inch, and then you also have a 15 inch one.
Ports and Connectivity
Let's look at the ports, on the left hand side, there's a MagSafe, 2 USB Type C, Thunderbolt, 4 ports. And then on the right hand side, there's a 3.5mm jack, so nothing else. We've always seen that the ports are less, but you can buy a 5000 Rs dongle, you'll get 8-10 extra ports. But yeah, let's open it! Look at this, it's very familiar, there's no difference compared to the previous generation. There's only 1 thing, the mute button was actually a speaker button, it didn't have a cross, now it has a cross, so that's the difference. The size of the touchpad is the same, there's absolutely no difference. If you keep both the laptops side by side, there's no difference.
Display and Multimedia
You can see the notch, it's a 13 inch display. It's a 60Hz display, IPS display, 500 nits brightness, HDR10, Dolby Vision support. And compared to Windows, I asked 2-3 people who were using it, and they said that it feels better, the colours look better, it's tuned very well. There are absolutely no complaints about the display. Yes, if you buy a MacBook Pro, which is 4-5-6 times more expensive, you'll get a mini LED display with ProMotion 120Hz, but it doesn't have that. But for a normal user, 99.9% of the users, it's not going to make any difference. In fact, you're going to love this display.
Performance and Battery Life
Now let's talk about the performance. And the biggest bump that we've got is in performance, thanks to M4 chipset. If I compare it with M3, there's a 15-20% jump in performance. It's a 3NM processor, it's power efficient. What can I say about the battery life? You can play back videos for 18 hours. We've used it, and I've seen a lot of videos of international creators. Everyone has said that they've got 12-14 hours in actual usage. So think about it, if you get 18 hours of video playback, that's one of the best! You can charge it in the morning, use it all day & you'll get 20-25% battery in the evening. So that's what it is, you don't need to carry a charger.
Another good thing is that the base variant comes with 16GB RAM & 256GB storage. And then you can take the 512GB, 1TB & 2TB storage if you want more storage. Or you can take the SSD to increase. Take the base variant, because if you take the upgraded variant, it'll be more expensive. SSD will be a much better option, according to me. Talking about performance, we tested Geekbench & it scored 3700 single core, which is excellent! If I compare it with Snapdragon X Elite, then it has more single core. Multi core is around 15000, which I think is quite good. In real life, if you want to do heavy coding on it, or if you want to use photoshop for graphics, or if you want to edit 4K streams, you should not have any problems. And remember, it's fanless! So if you feel that the thermals won't be good, then we pushed it & did gaming on it. No problems, it went up to 45 degrees, not more than that. So it was in check. We also played Shadow of Tomb Raider & we saw that you can play games up to 35FPS. People generally don't buy MacBook Air for gaming, but that's what it is. If you're a video editor, then you can put 2 full 6K monitors on the display.
Keyboard and Webcam
Talking about the keyboard, it's an ambient backlit keyboard, which means it does more or less lighting according to the lighting conditions. Talking about multimedia, the display is excellent & the speaker quality & sound is also good. The sound comes from the hinge here, which is excellent. Connectivity, it has Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 support, you have a touch ID for security. Rest, everything remains the same. But there's another big upgrade, which is the webcam. There are a lot of video calls these days, so that's important. In the previous generation M3, you used to get a full HD webcam, but now you get a 12MP center stage camera, so that's a big upgrade.
Operating System and Future-Proofing
Talking about OS, you get MacOS & Apple Intelligence support. I'm not going to talk much about it. You'll keep getting those upgrades, so no problems there. So this is the MacBook Air M4 variant for the year 2025. You can take the base variant & exchange it for your old laptop. You'll get it for Rs 75-80 in this price range. For that price, I don't think any other laptop can come close to it. Whether it is efficiency, display, performance, it's great for multimedia & is the most important. This is to a lot extent future proof. I can easily say that after buying the MacBook Air, you'll be able to use it for 5-7 years without any issues. We'll see how much the market share of MacBooks increases in the next year. I really want to see that. If you enjoyed the video, then do hit LIKE & SHARE it with your friends.
