Apple's next MacBook Air with M4 could be nearly as powerful as the latest MacBook Pro, and perhaps you won't have to pay more for extra RAM.

An early March release would set a new spring refresh cycle for the MacBook Air. Last year, Apple announced the M3 MacBook Air on March 4 and made it available in stores on March

Previous reports had said that the new MacBook Air will feature a version of the M4 chip, which was introduced in November with the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The current entry-level MacBook Air has 2 fewer graphics cores (8 versus 10) than the higher-end models, so it’s likely Apple will continue this trend.
