Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M4) vs MacBook Air 15 (M3)

The Apple MacBook Air 13 M4 Entry wins on CPU performance with its 10-core M4 (4x4.5 GHz P-cores, 6x2.9 GHz E-cores) versus the M3’s 8-core (4x4.1 GHz P-cores, 4x2.7 GHz E-cores), and its 15.5 W GPU TDP delivers faster sustained rendering. Buy the 13-inch M4 if you prioritize portability and all-day battery life—its 53.8 Wh battery lasts up to 18 hours in real-world use, perfect for students and travelers who carry it daily. Choose the 15-inch M3 if you need more screen real estate for multitasking or media consumption, as its 340.4 mm width and 66.5 Wh battery support longer editing sessions without frequent charging. In UAE at AED 6399 vs AED 6899, the 13-inch M4 is better because it’s 500 AED cheaper with a faster CPU and lighter weight; in India at ₹159900 vs ₹169900, the 13-inch M4 wins on value because it offers superior performance and 276 grams less weight for ₹10000 less.
