MacBook Air M4 & M5: Specifications
The MacBook Air M4 and the newer MacBook Air M5 are Apple's everyday laptop, built for people who want speed and portability without the step up to a MacBook Pro. The Good Guys stocks both chip generations, with unified memory for smooth multitasking and battery life reaching up to 18 hours on a single charge. It's thin and silent, whichever chip generation you choose.
Within each chip generation, every MacBook Air model uses the same processor, so the choice comes down to chip generation, screen size, memory, storage, and colour, not performance tier. The MacBook Pro and MacBook Neo sit either side of the Air for people who want more power or more portability.
