Apple rarely offers you more for less, especially in its most popular products with the broadest appeal. It has perfected the measured, iterative year-over-year product cycle. But for the 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Airs, Apple has put new chips in its established design while shoring up the device’s biggest flaws and dropping the price by $100.

The 13-inch and 15-inch laptops are faster and, with the lower starting price of $999, more affordable. Need a desktop? Apple has also refreshed the Mac Studio.
