When the M4 MacBook Air dropped earlier this year, we praised it as one of the best laptops of 2025 and a solid pick for most people. The 15-inch Air is the "goldilocks" of laptops: not too small, not too big, but as ultraportable as it is powerful.

When we tested the Surface laptop last year, it was a surprisingly enjoyable experience backed up by some pretty fantastic battery life. The Snapdragon X Elite processor gave us over 15 hours of use, and the portable, durable body makes for a solid device for hybrid commuters who utilize Windows' suite of productivity software.

The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's latest ultraportable, weighing just 2.7 pounds and thin enough to slip into a bag unnoticed. It comes in multiple versions, but the configuration with 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD starts at $897. 

The lightweight form factor doesn't mean it's not powerful -- it features a 12MP Center Stage camera, fast and responsive performance, and sports 18 hours of battery life.
