Recent Metal benchmarks indicate that the M4 MacBook Air delivers GPU performance that is nearly on par with the base M4 MacBook Pro. While traditionally, Apple’s Air lineup has been considered a more lightweight and efficiency-focused machine, the M4 chip levels the playing field. The Air’s GPU scores are only slightly lower than those of the M4 MacBook Pro, meaning that users who require robust graphical performance—such as video editors, designers, and casual gamers—can achieve near-Pro capabilities without the premium price tag. Additionally, the CPU performance in the M4 MacBook Air is incredibly close to the M4 MacBook Pro, thanks to Apple’s efficient architecture. While the MacBook Pro still holds an edge in sustained workloads due to its superior thermal management, the Air delivers impressive burst performance that can handle demanding tasks with ease. Why This Matters More Power for Less Money The M4 MacBook Air is now more capable than ever, offering high-end performan...
