The headline here is the new Apple M4 chip, which brings more speed and fluidity to day-to-day tasks. Whether you are jumping between multiple apps, editing video or playing graphically demanding games, the M4 is designed to keep everything feeling responsive.
The MacBook Air M4 was also featured in our Best MacBook 2025 guide as the Best entry-level MacBook, which says a lot about how balanced the package is.
This model is built for Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done more easily. With privacy protections baked in, it is designed so that no one else, not even Apple, can access your data.
Battery life is another key strength. Apple rates the MacBook Air at up to 18 hours, and it delivers the same level of performance whether it is plugged in or running on battery, which is ideal for long days of classes, commutes or remote working.
With a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, you also get a 12 MP Center Stage camera, three microphones and four speakers with Spatial Audio, helping you look and sound good on video calls or when streaming.

On the practical side, connectivity is also well covered. The MacBook Air includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging port, a headphone jack, plus Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and it supports up to two external displays if you want a larger desk setup.
With 16 GB of unified memory, 256 GB of SSD storage and that M4 performance inside a thin, lightweight chassis, the 2025 MacBook Air at £849 is a very appealing option for students and anyone looking for a refined entry-level MacBook while this Black Friday deal is live.
