I just used a Lenovo Slim 7i for a few days and Windows just doesn't seem great on laptops. I spent like a couple of days just trying to get rid of the bloat and messing with settings just so I could try and get the same battery life all the reviewers said it should have. The speakers were also not great.

I feel like Apple is overcharging people with their storage options and pricing. The 256gb version is sometimes $799, but for $200 more 512gb version is supposed to be a deal? Pretty disappointing to me.

Community Reviews

The M4 MacBook Air stands out as a thin, premium laptop with strong battery life, a good screen, a nicer webcam, and support for two external displays plus the built in display without a DisplayLink dock. The M series is also described as staying smooth for years, with one M1 Air still running well after four years and holding 7 plus hours of battery life. The main knock is Apple's storage pricing, since the jump from 256GB to 512GB is seen as steep at $200. That makes the 512GB model feel more like a convenience upgrade than a clear value play.

  • people who want a MacBook Air specifically for everyday web browsing and media watching because one commenter who upgraded from an M3 said they didn't notice a huge difference beyond a nicer webcam and slightly better real-world battery life.

    Outrager

  • buyers who care about multi-monitor setups because one commenter said the M4 MacBook Air can run 2 external displays plus the internal display without needing a DisplayLink dock (as long as that's useful for your workflow).

  • Mac users who are shopping through Micro Center and want flexibility on the exact configuration because a commenter said they were able to price match and even choose a different color.

    Outrager

  • non-Apple users who are comparing value against Windows laptops because commenters argued Apple's storage pricing is a premium (including claims that the 256GB→512GB jump is $200) and that you can get better value elsewhere.

  • people who are mainly looking for the best deal on raw performance-per-dollar because commenters said Snapdragon/Intel Lunar Lake laptops can be competitive at about half the price, and that $999 may not be the best value.

    veyveyGeeeeeeeek

  • buyers who are considering switching from Windows but want a hassle-free experience because one commenter said Windows on a Lenovo Slim 7i felt bad on laptops due to bloat/settings work and that the speakers weren't great.

    Outrager

  • buyers who don't need the extra RAM/storage and are mostly optimizing for battery life and basic needs because one commenter said they don't need heavy RAM and mainly wanted battery life, a good screen, and good speakers.

Thanks! I was able to go to Micro Center and get them to price match. They even let me choose a different color.

That link is for a refurb with 90-day warranty only. Not the same thing.

Looks like you're right. Didn't know "recon" was another term for refurbished.

It's crazy that Apple laptops are the best values now. I remember in college buying some big clunky MacBook with a core 2 duo for a lot more than this

Why? Besides the 'AI' stuff. They seem to be marginally different.

The M4 ones have a nicer webcam if that matters to you. And battery life supposed to be slightly better than the M3 in real life use. Having tried an M3 before getting this M4, if you're just browsing the web or watching media, I didn't think there's a huge difference.

It's because apple's own powerpc processors (m1) are all the rage now. They used to be too weak to compete with intel. M processors are cheaper to make and rest of the laptops became cheaper as well- thanks to Asian countries.
