Apple MacBook Air 13.6" M4 Silver 2025
The Apple M4 chip and 18-hour battery life enable all-day productivity in a fanless aluminum unibody that weighs just 1.24kg and measures under half an inch thin. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display renders one billion colors with sharp text, while Apple Intelligence accelerates writing and task management with on-device privacy. This laptop best suits students and business professionals who need a silent, ultraportable machine for multi-app workflows and media consumption, not gaming.
