Right now, every model of the 2025 M4 MacBook Air lineup is discounted $200, which doesn't happen very often, according to price-tracking tools. The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 256GB SSD is $799 (originally $999). With 16GB of RAM for even the most basic MacBook Air, you'll be able to take on intensive applications and projects now and for many years to come. The most basic MacBook Air comes with a 13.6-inch "Liquid Retina" display, with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,664, a P3 wide color gamut, and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. You might've first seen this feature on iPads and on the M4 MacBook Pro , which follows your face as you move around the frame during video calls.
