Our Verdict

MacBook Air 13 (M4) vs ZenBook S 14 OLED

Apple MacBook Air 13 M4 Entry wins on CPU performance tier with its 10-core M4 (4.5 GHz P-cores) versus the ZenBook’s 16-core Ultra 7 255H, but the M4 delivers superior efficiency with zero fan noise and 15.5W GPU TDP, while the ZenBook’s 60W Intel Arc 140T runs hotter under load. Choose the MacBook Air if you prioritize 18-hour battery life for all-day portability, macOS optimization for video editors using Final Cut Pro with 16GB LPDDR5, and seamless iCloud integration. Pick the ZenBook 14 OLED if you need Windows 11, Wi-Fi 7 (Intel BE201), HDMI output for external displays, and a brighter 14.9-inch OLED screen for photo editing with wider color gamut. In UAE at AED 4799 vs AED 4999, the MacBook Air is better because it lasts 3 hours longer on a charge. In India at ₹119900 vs ₹124990, the MacBook Air wins on value because it delivers longer battery life at a lower price.
