[ Gearbest Technology News]According to official news, Apple’s M4 MacBook Air is likely to be launched this week. Foreign media revealed that the new laptop will bring six major upgrades, including: equipped with M4 chip, improving battery life, and equipped with a new camera.
#1: M4 chip
The new MacBook Air will be equipped with a standard M4 chip instead of the M4 Pro or M4 Max. But it still includes a 10-core CPU, a 10-core GPU and a 16-core neural engine. Especially the neural engine, it can achieve up to 38 trillion operations per second, which can better adapt to Apple’s smart functions for many years in the future.
#2: Dual external display support
The M4 MacBook Air will support running two external monitors at the same time when the cover is opened, solving the previous limitations of using the cover. This feature has been implemented on the basic M4 MacBook Pro launched in November last year. Since the two computers are equipped with the same chips, it is expected that the M4 Air will also support this feature.
#3: Battery life upgrade
Last year, the M4 chip allowed Apple to create an ultra-thin iPad Pro without sacrificing battery life. Then, the M4 MacBook Pro maintains the same idea, but thanks to the new chip, the battery life has been improved. The M4 version of MacBook Air should follow the path of MacBook Pro, increasing battery life while retaining the basic design.
#4: Default 16GB RAM, optional double
Driven by Apple’s smart demand, Apple will equip 16GB of RAM on the M4 MacBook Air, which is expected to be configured with up to 32GB of RAM, up from the previous 24GB.
#5: Nanotextured Display
Currently, you can experience nanotextured displays on the M4 MacBook Pro, M4 iMac and M4 iPad Pro. The M4 MacBook Air is expected to join the ranks of nanotextured displays. But it won’t be standard, and users can get it by paying an additional $150.
#6: New Camera: 12 Megapixel Center Stage
The Center Stage feature is being used in more and more Apple products. After the M4 iMac and M4 MacBook Pro, Apple is expected to upgrade this configuration on the M4 MacBook Air.
In other aspects, Gearbestexpects that the basic design of the M4 MacBook Air will not change, and there will be 13-inch and 15-inch options. You can look forward to the new color options.
