M4 MacBook Air Review: The Mac That Made Me Question My iPad Loyalty
I’ve used an iPad as my primary device for years — can this MacBook finally replace it?
Non-members can read it here.
A few days ago, I told my readers that I ordered the M4 MacBook Air, which has 512GB storage, 16GB RAM, a 10-core CPU, and a 10-core GPU in Midnight color.
What stirred the pot was my declaration: as an iPad lover who has used it as my primary computer for over five years, this MacBook would replace it.
Many responded to that article, asking me to drop a review of the M4 MacBook Air from the perspective of someone who has been using the M4 iPad Pro as their primary device.
You can read that backstory here.
Today, I will share my experience with the M4 MacBook Air 13-inch. And no, this is not my first MacBook. I have used:
- Intel MacBook Pro (Early, 2015)
- Intel MacBook Pro (2017)
- M1 MacBook Pro (2020)
- M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) — This one is still with me.
- M2 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch
This is my sixth MacBook, but for the first time, I haven’t opted for a Pro model.
