MacBook Air 13 (M3) vs MacBook Air 13 (M4)

The M4’s 10-core CPU (4.5 GHz P-cores) and 7500 MT/s RAM outperform the M3’s 8-core CPU (4.1 GHz P-cores) and 6400 MT/s RAM, delivering faster multitasking and app launches. The M3 model suits students and office workers who need all-day battery life (up to 18 hours) and reliable performance for web browsing, documents, and light photo editing with 16GB RAM. The M4 model benefits video editors and coders running Final Cut Pro or Xcode, where its 10-core GPU and 15.5W TDP sustain longer rendering without throttling, and 53.8Wh battery lasts 19 hours. In UAE at AED 5899 vs AED 6399, the M3 is better because it saves AED 500 with near-identical daily use; in India at ₹144900 vs ₹159900, the M3 wins on value because ₹15000 saved offsets minimal performance gains for non-pro users.
