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

The Apple MacBook Air 15 M3 1TB/24GB wins on CPU and GPU performance with its 8-core M3 (4.1 GHz P-cores) and 10-core GPU versus the M4’s 10-core CPU (4.5 GHz P-cores) and identical 10-core GPU, but the M3’s 24GB RAM and 1TB storage offer tangible advantages for multitasking and media workloads. Professionals editing 4K video or running virtual machines should choose the M3 model — its 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD prevent bottlenecks during heavy rendering or large project loads. The M4 model suits students or office workers who need macOS 15, longer battery life from lower PL1 (9W), and faster LPDDR5-7500 RAM for everyday apps like Safari, Word, and Zoom without needing extra storage. In UAE at AED 6899 vs AED 4999, the M4 is better because it saves AED 1900 with near-identical portability and newer OS; in India at ₹169900 vs ₹124900, the M4 wins on value because it cuts ₹45,000 while retaining all core performance and efficiency.
