The 2025 MacBook Air continues to offer options in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, catering to different preferences for portability and screen size. The 13-inch model is priced at a more affordable $999, a $100 reduction from the previous generation, while the 15-inch model starts at $1,199. The new M4 chip brings a substantial boost in performance, featuring a baseline of a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. For those seeking even more power, customization options include up to a 10-core GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage.

On the exterior, a fresh color option has been added: Sky Blue, a subtle blue-tinted silver. Alongside this, you can choose from Midnight (black), Starlight (gold), and Silver. Note that Space Gray is no longer an option, but Midnight and Silver provide similar aesthetics. Each MacBook Air comes with a matching MagSafe charging cable.

The integrated webcam, now dubbed the "Center Stage camera" by Apple, has been upgraded to a 12-megapixel sensor, promising clearer and more vibrant video calls on FaceTime.

Although not a mandatory upgrade from last year's model, the 2025 MacBook Air is reported to be twice as fast as the M1 MacBook Air, making it a compelling choice for those still using older models. It's also an impressive leap from the Intel-based MacBooks, with Apple claiming it's 23 times faster than the latest of those.
