In terms of specs, the Air starts with the Apple M1 processor, 8 gigabytes of memory, and 256GB of solid-state storage, a type of storage technology that’s faster than traditional hard drives. The 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 and the 13-inch Dell XPS 2021 also weigh in at 2.8 pounds, while LG’s 14-inch Gram is a feathery 2.2 pounds. It’s a neat feature-I enjoy using my preferred podcast app, called Overcast, on my MacBook Air-but because the Mac doesn’t have a touch screen, the experience is slightly clunky.Īt 2.8 pounds, the computer is lightweight (you’d hope so with a name like Air) but not uniquely so. It’s capable of running a wide variety of apps, whether that’s a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari a word processor like Google Docs, Pages, or Word or a spreadsheet program such as Excel, Numbers, or Sheets.Īnd with the M1, you can now run iPhone and iPad apps.

The Air starts at $1,000, comes in one size (13 inches), and is a smart choice for everyday use. Both do well in our ratings, but they’re aimed at different audiences.
