Thanks to the M4 chip, the new Air can deliver even better performance for daily activities like multitasking between apps. photo or video editing, and even gaming.
If you’re upgrading from older Intel-based Air, Apple says you can expect the M4 models to deliver up to 23x faster performance. Battery life is better too, expect six more hours if you’re coming from an older Air, clocking the new Airs around 18 hours or so. The Air can also now support up to up to two 6K displays simultaneously as well.
The MacBook Air’s aluminum unibody design and feature set remains largely the same, although Apple has added its 12MP Center Stage camera this time around. Center Stage gets its namesake from the camera’s ability to keep you centered in the frame, even as you move around—it’s great for those who FaceTime from their MacBooks often. Desk View is supported for who needs the ability to show a top-down view of whatever they’re working on.
The entry-level Mac Studio with M4 Max comes equipped with a 14-Core CPU, 32-Core GPU, 36GB of Unified Memory and a 512GB SSD. It’s configurable with M3 Ultra which for the most kitted out version, can pack a 32-Core CPU, 80-Core GPU, and up to a whopping 512GB of unified memory and 16TB SSD. All versions of the Mac Studio will support Thunderbolt 5 connectivity as well.
Externally, the Mac Studio remains unchanged. There is a slight difference between the M4 Max and M3 Ultra models configurations with the former models featuring four Thunderbolt 5 ports on and the latter having six. The front features two Thunderbolt 5 ports and an SD card slot while the rear has a mix of Thunderbolt 5 and USB-C ports depending on the configuration.
The GPU in M4 Max also brings Apple advanced graphics architecture to the Studio for the first time, including dynamic caching, hardware-accelerated mesh shading, and a second-generation ray-tracing engine designed with seamless content creation or gaming in mind. That said, the new M3 Ultra chip can deliver nearly twice as fast performance than M4 Max when it comes to workloads that take advantage of high CPU and GPU counts.
Pre-orders will be going live today for both the Mac Studio and MacBook Air with orders expected to ship starting March 12th, 2025.
