2025 MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop with M4 chip: Built for Apple Intelligence, 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display, 16GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD Storage, 12MP Center Stage Camera, Touch ID; Midnight

It’s perfect for students. Super light and easy to carry around. The M4 chip is really powerful and efficient, it can handle whatever you throw at it. Ports are limited but a simple usb c dongle will fix the issue. At home I plug it into my monitor and use it as a desktop no issues. Battery lasts all day and the speakers are excellent for the laptop’s size. The display is great with brilliant colours and it gets bright. It only supports 60hz but it’s not a issue for me as I connect it to a monitor.

This is a fantastic laptop and for the price is a bargain. Battery life is incredible, very thin and light with good build quality, and the screen is great quality as you would expect with Apple Products. The M4 chip has run cool so far and has handled everything quickly. Having used MacBook Pro's for work, the screen on the Pro variants has 120hz so seem smoother and the brightness is more, but not worth the extra £500+. The benefit of the Air variant is how slim and light it and is definitely noticeable and for my use cases I prefer that over the heaviness of the Pro models. The Sky Blue colour is really nice, depending on the light it comes across as silver, but the subtle blue is great for someone like me who doesn't like standout colours. If you are looking for the best all round laptop on the market, and you are invested in the Apple ecosystem with iPhone, iPad etc I cannot recommend this enough. If anything wish I had bought it sooner.

The perfect laptop for everyday use and more! I was a bit hesitant to upgrade, but I'm so glad I did. The M4 chip is a complete game-changer! My old laptop would lag with multiple tabs open, but this MacBook Air handles everything I throw at it without a single hiccup. It's incredibly fast, totally silent, and the battery life is just phenomenal—I can go a full day of work and still have plenty of charge left. The screen is gorgeous, and the new camera is a welcome upgrade for video calls. The build quality feels premium and it's so light and easy to carry around. Definitely worth every penny. Five stars!

Fantastic little laptop. Really powerful especially when you consider how light and thin it is. The speakers are really loud and clear, doesn't get blisteringly hot like some other laptops do ever though there's no cooling fan. Setup was a breeze and I really appreciate the fingerprint scanner. Still getting used to the OS but I've had no major issues, just a bit of a learning curve with installing different apps. Really fast and responsive. Build quality is fantastic. Battery life is incredible. If I believed in magic, I'd call it witchcraft, I'll settle for incredible engineering.

Needed a new laptop, and after decades of various brands, decided to go with a Appe MacBook. I am far from the world's most computer savvy person, but even I was shocked with how fast and simple this was to set up. Was a little bit smaller than I expected, but that is maybe a good thing as its nice and compact so can be stored away. Battery life is amazing, as I was expecting something like a Iphone or Ipad where it would need charged on a hourly basis, and yet gone a full week without needing charge it. Some great security features and the connection to wifi is really good (even off my mobile hot-spot you still get a fantastic connection). Really impressed and can highly recommend.

This replaced an older style MacBook M1 Air which was given to our daughter-in-law for her nursing course. In daily use, there's not a massive difference between them except in feel and style; the screen is brighter and a little sharper, too. Everything about a MacBook is superb in look, feel and use. My cousin just bought a £750 Windows laptop - put beside this Mac, that one seems so cheap and plasticky in comparison. Apple are a bit pricier but for style, manufacturing and durability cannot be matched. Lift the lid on this one and it opens smoothly - as it should; do that on the Windows laptop, and the whole device lifts up, not just the lid, needing two hands just to open it. The new Air shape really is, surprisingly, a whole lot slimmer, lighter and more modern looking, even though the differences are of course not that great at all. This is simply a brilliant laptop.

I bought this as a replacement for an old work MacBook. It is fast and responsive the screen is amazing and new features such as finger id for opening is great. I bought the 13 inch for portability and can use an external drive if I need more storage. Great price at around £170 under the apple store price so very happy.

Wonderful to have a good old Mac laptop. However, I find the menu drop and click function awkward to use, probably because I am used to a mouse.

Let me get my biggest gripe out of the way right at the start: I will NEVER forgive Apple for killing the characteristic wedge shape of the MacBook Air! Now that got that off of my chest, let's talk about this particular MacBook. I got it to replace a refurbished 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar that I'd gotten in 2019 and that was beginning to show its age. The differences are astounding, as you would expect given the eight years that have passed since. The MacBook Air is an absolute featherweight, while at the same time feeling rock solid. I went for the midnight colour way since that was the cheapest one available during the recent Prime Day sale, and it's surprising just how much of a chameleon the machine is in this colour. The display is just amazing, crisp, with gorgeous colours. The rest of the hardware doesn't disappoint either, the keyboard is great, although it is taking me some time to get used to the trackpad. If there's anything here to criticise, it's the fact that the machine only has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, all on the left side of the device. I use hardware passkeys for authentication, and with only two of those ports, things get tight rather quickly. That being said, charging once again works via MagSafe, which somewhat defuses the port situation. Let's talk internals. This is obviously the M4 version of the MacBook Air, and while it still only sports 256 GB of SSD storage, the machine also has 16GB of RAM. And folks, this thing flies! I have yet to really max things out, but even the few quick things I did in Adobe Photoshop worked like a dream. I've never seen that program work so smoothly! Other programs are equally snappy, although I did encounter a few stutters in Notion. Then again, it's Notion, a tool not necessarily known for being well-designed! In either case, the machine barely even got warm, despite the fact that it's a fanless design. Finally, let's talk battery. Except I can't. Okay, I haven't had the machine for that long, and I haven't been too mobile yet, which is what the MacBook is really designed for, but so far, I've yet to get the battery below 50%. Even on my busiest day, with me being on the go from 10 AM to 6 PM and plenty of Lightroom and Photoshop, I wasn't able to do so. Apple's promise of all-day battery life really seems to hold here. All in all, this is an excellent allrounder, a machine that is powerful enough even for more demanding tasks, whilst at the same time being lightweight enough to easily slip into a backpack and with enough staying power to last throughout an entire day. If you're in the market for a new laptop, and MacBooks are something for you, I can wholeheartedly recommend this. Even the dearth of ports and the lack of the traditional wedge shape of older MacBook Air generations isn't enough for me to take away even one star!

The delivery is very fast
