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

The Apple MacBook Air 15 M4 1TB/24GB wins on CPU performance with its 10-core M4 (4.5 GHz P-cores, 6 x 2.9 GHz E-cores) versus the M3’s 8-core (4.1 GHz P-cores, 4 x 2.7 GHz E-cores), and its GPU runs at higher sustained clocks despite identical 10-core configurations. The M3 model suits coders running multiple VMs or light video editors needing 16GB RAM and 1TB storage for 4K media, with 18 hours of battery life from its 66.5Wh pack. The M4 model is better for AI-assisted developers and pro creators using Core ML or Final Cut Pro, thanks to its 7500 MT/s LPDDR5 RAM and 15% faster neural engine. In UAE at AED 6899 vs AED 7399, the M3 is better because it saves AED 500 with near-identical battery and portability. In India at ₹169900 vs ₹184900, the M3 wins on value because the ₹15000 premium for the M4 offers minimal real-world gains for most workflows.
