that's beyond your budget and you're happy with the M4 chip, then we'd recommend buying the MacBook Air 15-inch (M4), which is on sale at Amazon for only $1,099 (was $1,399) .

This is a record-low price for the laptop that is as powerful as it is light. With a slightly bigger 15-inch display, this model is the perfect companion for creatives, students, and professionals who love macOS and want a laptop that will serve them well for many years to come.

5 stars and said that "the best 15-inch laptop just got better." With cutting-edge Apple silicon, you're getting a whole lot of power in a super compact case. Even though this isn't the latest model, there's no
compromising on power here.

We're big fans of the thin design, which is not only gorgeous to look at but also light enough to be one of the most portable laptops on the market. And
if you were thinking that this design would compromise on the audio quality, think again. In fact, we found it to have some of the best speakers you'll find in a laptop.

The 15-inch display boasts Liquid Retina technology that makes it one of the best screens available. All types of work, web browsing, and video watching will look truly fantastic. We've not yet seen the full realization of Apple Intelligence, but this laptop has enough power to support it.
