The latest developments regarding the highly anticipated M4 MacBook Air seem to be exciting users. According to recent reports, the new model will compete with the MacBook Pro M4. But can the MacBook Air truly replace the MacBook Pro M4? Here are the details…
Performance Boost with the M4 MacBook Air: A Model Approaching the Pro M4
The M4 MacBook Air is eagerly awaited before its release. According to leaks, the performance of this new model is quite impressive. Geekbench tests show that the M4 MacBook Air has a significant performance boost compared to the previous Air M3 model. The M3’s 41,045 Metal score is much lower than the 54,806 score of the Air M4. This difference suggests that the Air M4 is not only an upgraded model, but it is also approaching the base MacBook Pro M4’s performance.
The MacBook Pro M4 scored 57,596 in Geekbench, which is slightly higher than the Air M4. However, this difference doesn’t justify the higher price point for most users. In fact, the Air M4’s performance is close enough to make one question the value of the base MacBook Pro M4. While the Pro’s more powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max versions offer higher performance, the gap between them and the entry-level Air M4 is not very significant.
Humane's AI Pin devices will no longer be available for use starting February 28. The company has been acquired by HP.
The release date for the M4 MacBook Air is still uncertain, but it is expected to launch next month. Its price is likely to be similar to the current MacBook Air M3, around $1,100. Apple narrowing the price gap within its product lineup and positioning the more powerful Air model ahead of the Pro model could create some confusion for consumers.
