Apple sent me the 15-inch variant of the new MacBook Air in the new "sky blue" color, with an M4 chip, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of storage space. I haven't yet spent enough time with it to tell you whether it's a good purchase, but I can say one thing: The sky blue color will only shine in a certain light.

The M4 MacBook Air is its usual incremental refresh, but it does add more to the mix than this week’s new iPads, which effectively only gained new chips in otherwise-identical designs. The MacBook Air moves from the M3 chip to an M4, but it also adds an improved front-facing camera and a new color.

As expected, Apple has officially refreshed its MacBook Air lineup with its M4 chip, the same silicon we've already seen in products like the MacBook Pro, the iMac, and the Mac mini. And in most ways, it's a straightforward update, with no major changes to the laptop's physical design, screen specs, keyboard, or ports.
