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

The Apple MacBook Air 15 M4 1TB/24GB wins on CPU and GPU performance, with its 10-core M4 (4.5 GHz P-cores, 6 x 2.9 GHz E-cores) and 24GB LPDDR5-7500 RAM outperforming the M3’s 8-core (4.1 GHz P-cores, 4 x 2.7 GHz E-cores) and 16GB LPDDR5-6400. The M3 model suits coders running lightweight containers or students multitasking with 10+ browser tabs, thanks to its 16GB RAM and 15-hour battery life on light use. The M4 model is for video editors exporting 4K ProRes clips daily—24GB RAM handles multiple timelines, and 1TB storage avoids constant cloud uploads, while the M4’s GPU accelerates rendering 30% faster than the M3. In UAE at AED 5299 vs AED 7399, the M3 is better because it costs 28% less with nearly identical battery life; in India at ₹129900 vs ₹184900, the M3 wins on value because the 24GB RAM and 1TB storage offer diminishing returns for most local users.
