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

The 15-inch model has a 10-core GPU versus the 13-inch’s 8-core GPU, giving it 25% more graphics throughput for video rendering and multitasking. The 13-inch MacBook Air, with its 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, is better for coders running Docker containers or developers using multiple IDEs simultaneously, while its 18-hour battery life outlasts the 15-inch’s 16 hours. The 15-inch model’s larger 66.5Wh battery and 10-core GPU make it preferable for video editors exporting 4K footage in Final Cut Pro, where sustained GPU load benefits from its higher 20.5W PL2 thermal headroom. In UAE at AED 4799 vs AED 4999, the 13-inch is better because it offers double the storage for just AED 200 more. In India at ₹119900 vs ₹124900, the 13-inch wins on value because 512GB storage doubles local storage capacity without a price premium.
