And in most ways, it&#8217;s a straightforward update, with no major changes to the laptop&#8217;s physical design, screen specs, keyboard, or ports.<\/p>\n<p>The most important update is the price. The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air will start at $999, a $100 price cut compared to the M3 Air and the same price that Apple set for the M2 Air last year when the M3 models came out. The 15-inch model will also get a $100 cut, from $1,299 to $1,199. These baseline configurations still come with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.<\/p>\n<p>The M2 version will continue to be sold as a budget model in some countries, but the US isn&#8217;t one of them.
