I’m unboxing the NEW 13-in M4 MacBook Air w/ 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The 2025 model of the thin and light notebook and Apple’s best-selling Mac is an incremental upgrade that boasts MANY welcome performance upgrades but a familiar design.
In this video, we will unbox the new M4 MacBook Air, set it up, go over its key new features, and I will give my brief review after using it for six to eight weeks, going over my favorite parts of the unboxing of the M4 MacBook Air, the initial set-up, my first thoughts after using this MacBook, and things I appreciate about this MacBook Air while using it daily.
Be sure to subscribe to my channel so you stay up to date on all of my upcoming releases, including more unboxing videos just like this, new iOS software, and other things Apple-related. I have lots planned for the rest of this year, including new video releases every one to two weeks!
First, the 13-inch and 15-inch models have both been updated from last year’s M3 chip to the new M4 chip, which is up to 25% faster than last year’s models. These chips now have a 10-core CPU compared to the M3’s 8-cores while also providing a 10-core GPU and keeping the 16-core Neural Engine. Thanks to efficiency improvements in the M4, battery life is up to 2 hours better than M3 models, making it last nearly a full 24 hours and making the MacBook Air’s battery life one of the market.
In addition, the starting RAM option is now 16GB. All models will now have at least 16GB of Unified Memory. Also, there is now a 32GB Unified Memory configuration option. You may opt for this option if you are looking into making extreme multitasking possible on this MacBook Air.
These new models also upgrade the built-in FaceTime camera to a 12MP Center Stage camera, first seen in the M4 MacBook Pro released last fall, which will follow you around in video calls using apps like FaceTime and Zoom. It also features Desk View, which can show both you and your desk simultaneously.
You can now finally connect two (2) external displays to the MacBook Air while keeping the internal display active with this year’s M4 model! This contrasts with last year’s M3 model, where you were allowed to have two (2) external displays connected to your MacBook at one time, but you would have to disable the internal display. Essentially, you are now allowed three (3) displays to be active at the same time.
Other small changes to this year’s new MacBook Air include a beautiful new color option, Sky Blue, upgraded USB-C ports which are now Thunderbolt 4, and an updated and more clearly understood “volume off” hotkey icon, after nearly 30 years. It also comes with an easier setup process using an iPhone or iPad signed into your Apple Account already, and more!
Another very welcome change to this year’s M4 MacBook Air is the $100 price cut to every MacBook Air configuration and model. Every model or configuration is now $100 less than last year’s M3 model equivalent (excluding the new 32GB Unified Memory configuration).
