Critiques pour le/la Apple MacBook Air 15 M4
Apple a doté son MacBook Air 15 du fulgurant SoC M4, toujours refroidi passivement. Il est également doté d'une nouvelle webcam de 12 mégapixels et d'un nouveau coloris. En revanche, son écran 60 Hz reste inchangé et il n'y a pas d'option mate, mais le Air est désormais 100 $ moins cher.

À l’issue de ce test, je dois reconnaître que le MacBook Air M4 15’’ est une machine très réussie. En plus d’être ultra performant, il se paye le luxe d’offrir une excellente autonomie et de n’être pas tellement plus encombrant que son équivalent de 13″. J’ai aussi apprécié l’espace de travail plus vaste procuré par l’écran 15″ ainsi que son excellente qualité d’affichage. Bien sûr, ce n’est pas de l’OLED, mais je l’ai vite oublié après quelques heures d’utilisation. Si vous recherchez une machine endurante et puissante, le MacBook Air M4 15’’ est fait pour vous. Il faudra juste accepter de le payer un peu plus cher qu’une configuration équivalente sous Windows. Mais quel confort d’utilisation !

Alors, certes, il est toujours assez convenu d’affirmer que le meilleur des MacBook… c’est le dernier. Mais certains de « petits derniers » méritent davantage d’attention que ceux qu’ils ont remplacés. C’est clairement le cas de ce MacBook Air (M4) 2025 qui a la bonne idée d’intégrer à la fois la dernière génération de puces Apple Silicon, mais qui se permet également quelques améliorations notables sur la fiche technique (nouvelle webcam) et sur la facture (baisse de 100 euros). Le bilan aurait pu être encore plus brillant si Apple avait eu la présence d’esprit de passer au Wi-Fi 7, ce qui n’est pas trop demander pour une machine en 2025, ou si l’écran du MacBook avait basculé à l’OLED (on a le droit de rêver, non ?).

L’effet de surprise n’est plus, on connait désormais très bien le MacBook Air de 15 pouces, ses qualités et ses défauts. C’est souvent dans ce contexte que l’on prête encore plus attention aux petits changements apportés par un nouveau modèle, aux belles évolutions et aux éventuelles régressions. Avec ce nouveau MacBook Air 15 M4, il y a un peu de tout cela. Si l’impression que nous laisse ce millésime 2025 est globalement très positive, force est d’admettre que nous nous attendions tout de même à y trouver quelques avancées supplémentaires… notamment en matière de connectivité Wi-Fi ou de performances du SSD. Deux points sur lesquels l’appareil pourrait facilement faire mieux.

The support for additional displays, higher memory capability, and a suite of fine-tuned software improvements define the MacBook Air M4 as an improved powerhouse productivity machine. All of the upgrades on their own might appear to be small changes, but they add up to paint a picture of a device that's come into its own as "THE" productivity laptop for modern professionals.

With a starting price of Rs 124,900, I think the new MacBook Air offers the best and most dependable computer for a lot of people, who don’t really need to do serious video editing or 3D imaging. I would like you to consider the size before committing yourself to the 15-inch model. The 13-inch one is cheaper though it packs the same punch. But whatever the size, this could be the best option for students and office workers. If you find it expensive, just remember that MacBooks last for over seven years ideally and the cost of ownership then works out cheaper. This is an investment you will complement yourself for as it will outlive many regimes and tech fads.

Priced at Rs 144,900 (for the reviewed 15-inch variant), the MacBook Air with M4 strikes a solid balance between portability, performance, and battery life. While it does not radically change the formula, it improves upon a proven one with smarter hardware choices and enhanced software features. For most users, it remains a no-compromise solution that feels familiar yet refreshingly current. That said, the MacBook Air with M4 is a cost-effective laptop suitable for students, working professionals, and general users seeking a capable thin-and-light laptop.

The MacBook Air M4 is still one of the most complete packages you can ask for when it comes to creativity, productivity, and everyday use. The M4 Air's sleek and lightweight form factor set the standard for ultraportables, and not much has changed with its design since, for better or for worse. If you have an iPhone and enjoy Apple's ecosystem of products, the MacBook Air is a solid choice as a main driver. If you already have a Mac that's more than a few years old, the MacBook Air M4 will feel like a significant upgrade. If you have an M2 Pro or M3, the leap will feel less noticeable. If you're coming from an older Windows device, well, you'll wonder how you ever took calls on your 720p webcam at all. Considering all of this, the MacBook Air M4 is a modest upgrade from its predecessor but pushes the line forward overall.

The MacBook Air continues to impress – and this bump in performance, thanks to the M4 chip, makes it an unbelievably powerful option in both sizes. For portability, the 13-inch is still my choice, but if you do want a larger screen, the 15-inch is still impressively thin and lightweight, making it easy to slip into your bag. On paper, the screen brightness and performance of the MacBook Air suggests a big step down from the MacBook Pro – but I found the screen to still be very impressive. So, unless that extra brightness and refresh rate are critical for your work, you won’t feel short-changed. Overall, the MacBook Air M4 offers both power and portability unlike anything else in the market. While little has changed generation to generation, the Air remains a shining example of a laptop done right.

Yes. Absolutely. The new MacBook Air is cheaper than before, and runs Apple's most powerful chip (well, its basic variant) while being dead silent. The webcam is better, the battery life is great, and just about the only negatives we can think is low number of ports and the fact that the display's refresh rate only goes to 60Hz.

Most laptop shoppers kicking the tires on the 15-inch MacBook Air are also eyeing, I'd imagine, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is an excellent laptop in either size, so how do you decide which way to go? The 13-inch model costs $200 less and is roughly half a pound lighter, making it more affordable and portable -- and the more popular of the two. But I'd argue the 15-inch Air is the better pick for most people since most people don't use their MacBook connected to an external display. The 15.3-inch display on the larger Air provides enough workspace to obviate the need for a multidisplay setup -- even if the M4 Airs do offer better support for external displays.

Mark's MacBook Air M4 review is here, and although it's not the biggest upgrade, Apple reminds us all why the MacBook Air is the best laptop for a lot of people.

The latest MacBook Air 15-inch (M4) offers cutting-edge Apple silicon, with some great features, a brilliant thin and light design and some of the best speakers you'll find in a laptop. However, if you already own an M2 or M3 MacBook Air, you might not feel like the performance leap the M4 chip offers is big enough to justify buying the new MacBook Air.

PC laptops really have moved leaps and bounds in the past year or so, thanks to the rise of “AI PC” chips from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm. These are closing the gap with Apple’s silicon, and they finally offer decent performance at much greater energy efficiency. However, while good, the new M4 chip shows that few can compete with the MacBook Air’s outstanding combination of design, capability and quality. When it’s all said and done, what I value the most about the 15in MacBook Air is its amazing ‘unplugged’ processing power while still delivering 8+ hour battery life, the large 15.3-inch screen, the quiet, fan-less operation and lovely, sleek design.

The MacBook Air 15-inch M4 isn’t all that different from its predecessor but it’s still excellent for anyone interested in a larger Air laptop. I like its fast performance, long battery life and superb display quality most of all, but I also appreciate the updated 12MP camera and new Sky Blue color. And with a sticker price that’s $100 less than the M3 model, this laptop is almost too good to be true. That said, if you own the M3 model, you don’t need to upgrade since that’s still a brilliant machine that can do almost anything the new version can—including all the same Apple Intelligence features. In short, you’re not missing much by not upgrading. Though I would recommend the $999 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for most people, its 15-inch sibling is easily my second recommendation. It’s one of my favorite laptops of the year so far.

The MacBook Air M4 clearly takes things on a step from the M3, with various small improvements combined with that lower starting price. And as such, it can’t really be argued with as a potential purchase (unless you can pick up an M3 at a low price before that completely disappears). While Intel, AMD and Snapdragon Windows ultraportables are improving all the time, they can’t quite match the performance and battery life on show here. Although it can’t quite beat the step up that we saw with the M2 in 2022, it shows that Apple is determined to keep ahead of its rivals on performance.

On the whole, this is the best the 15-inch MacBook Air has ever been. For the deep-pocketed Apple loyalist, who may have an M3 Air, this model will feel improved enough to justify grabbing one for that fancy new colorway and improved webcam. However, for M3 owners who don’t have that kind of dough to throw around, wait until the eventual M5 model before you upgrade. Even if you have an original 15-inch Air, you might think twice before clicking that buy button and hold out hope for a more profound redesign in 2026. Why? Based on our testing, comparable PC laptops in 2025 now challenge the 15-inch Air. We suspect this is part of why Apple dropped the starting price by $100, and with its midrange to high-end configurations, by several hundred.

The MacBook Air 15 is about as near to perfect as it can be without quite making it. It’s incredibly well built, it’s insanely thin and light but doesn’t feel flimsy, and it looks great. It’s fast enough for the most demanding productivity users, and it has multi-day battery life. It’s also reasonably affordable, although it remains a premium laptop. The base configuration at $1,299 is all most people will need, and it offers up plenty of performance. Unless you’re a gamer or heavy-duty creator — both of which can be important in larger machines like this — or you really need Windows, you should just grab a MacBook Air 15 and save yourself a bunch of time.

The M4 MacBook Air is a the newest in Apple's most popular and most mainstream laptop and it is essentially review-proof, because this will be a top seller for existing MacBook users regardless of how much or how little it has improved over the barely 12-month old M3 MacBook Air.

The MacBook Air 15-inch M4 is a fairly unique laptop, delivering a larger screen in what is basically a 14-inch chassis, but it has far more than that to offer. The M4 chip brings the Air back among the top-performing mainstream premium laptops while offering over 15 hours of battery life. The bright display makes it ideal for frequent travelers or anyone who is often working in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. That combination along with its reasonable pricing makes this one of the best student laptops. While I would like to see Apple upgrade the display on the MacBook Air, that's more of a wish than a serious complaint as it is a good LCD panel. The limited ports are my biggest frustration with the 15-inch Air, and I'd concede it isn't a concern that will bother many users.

Once again, the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air are basically everything we want from ultraportable notebooks. They’re zippy, wonderfully light and can last well beyond a full day of work. While the M4 chip isn’t a transformative upgrade, it helps Apple keep pace with evolving PC notebook chips. And now that the MacBook Air starts at $999, even Windows users should consider making the jump.

Apple’s MacBook Air 15 is simply the most powerful and elegant ultraportable available. With a larger screen, faster processor and now, in a sharper colour, it’s the most beautiful and best MacBook for everyday users on the go.

In my M3 MacBook Air review last year, I said it was “the best laptop choice for just about anyone.” With the M4 MacBook Air, that holds, but this laptop is better. The M3 Air’s clamshell compromise with the external display support was a deal killer for a lot of users. So, the M4 Air’s expanded external display support is a more important upgrade than the performance improvements. Don’t get me wrong, though–faster is always better. The 12MP Center Stage camera is an overdue upgrade that makes Apple’s general consumer laptop feel more professional. It’s also cheaper by $100 across the board. The model we tested that sells for $1,399 would have been $1,499 for the same specs with an M3 chip. That’s a nice and surprising discount, especially considering you get twice the RAM you got when the M3 launched in March 2024.

Maybe. The MacBook Air with M4 is a sleek laptop powerful enough for many light and medium-duty photo workflows and very light video ones. However, it comes with limitations. It is not powerful enough to excel in high-end video editing workflows, and its fanless design poses problems during extended use. Only having two Thunderbolt 4 ports is also occasionally an issue, although one that can be overcome through a hub, even though that starts to undercut the portability and value factors of the machine. That said, if you are not a power user, the MacBook Air could be more than enough computer for you. Plus, it is as easy on the wallet as on the eyes, which never hurts. If I had a nice desktop at home, and wanted something cheap and simple for occasional work on the road? The MacBook Air is a great choice. But if I wanted a do-it-all machine? The MacBook Pro is the definite pick.

Apple added just a helping of newness to the 2025 MacBook Air to keep things interesting, though I’m not sure there’s enough for recent buyers.

Apple M4 10-Core GPU: Adaptateur graphique intégré conçu par Apple et doté de 10 cœurs. Cet iGPU est intégré dans les SoC M4 de Apple (tant la version à 9 cœurs que celle à 10 cœurs) ; il utilise l'architecture de mémoire unifiée et n'est pas très différent du GPU M3 à 10 cœurs en termes de caractéristiques. Les premières comparaisons entre le GPU M4 à 10 cœurs et le GPU M3 à 10 cœurs laissent entrevoir des gains de performance de l'ordre de 15 %, mais il est important de préciser d'emblée que la durabilité des performances de la puce M4 sera très faible en raison de la finesse du châssis des nouveaux iPads, dépourvu de toute forme de refroidissement actif. Tout comme le reste de la puce Apple M3, l'adaptateur graphique est fabriqué selon un processus TSMC de "deuxième génération 3 nm".
Ces cartes devraient être capables de faire tourner tout les jeux d'aujourd'hui, mais la plupart d'entre eux uniquement en détails moyens ou faibles et avec des résolution basses. Les plus vieux jeux ou les jeux moins gourmands restent jouables avec de beaux graphismes.

M4 (10 cores): Un système sur puce (SoC) d'architecture ARM comprenant 10 cœurs de CPU (4 cœurs de performance et 6 cœurs d'efficacité), un moteur neuronal à 16 cœurs et un GPU à 10 cœurs avec prise en charge de la RT. Le M4 a été lancé en mai 2024 dans le cadre d'un événement de lancement de l'iPad ; selon les premières données, la puce 3 nm devrait être 10 % à 25 % plus rapide que le M3.
