Apple has updated its ultra-portable laptop, MacBook Air, as well as its ultra-powerful desktop, Mac Studio. East gets the latest chip of the company, cut in a price and comes in a fun new color, while the latter is being billed as “the most powerful Mac”.
M4 MacBook Air

On the outside, MacBook Air is similar to its predecessor, although it is now available with “Sky Blue” finish. Inside, it has the latest M4 chip of the company, which is available for some time in computers such as Mac Mini, IMAC and Entry-Level MacBook Pro. Depending on those machines, the M4 air should be slightly more powerful and efficient than its predecessor.
However, the greatest upgradation is for external performance support. The M3 Macbook Air can only run a display with its underlying screen. If you want to use another external performance then you have to close the laptop lid. With the new model, she has gone to the border: it can run two 6K external monitor And Its internal performance.

Apple has also upgraded the webcam and has said that the new model has “improvement of video quality”. In a rare step, it is all done, reducing the base value of the computer. The predecessor of M4 Air started $ 1,099 for a model with 16GB memory and 256GB storage – now, you can get the same glasses for $ 999.
Caves are: Entry-Level 13 “M3 Air Air had 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, while the cheapest 13” M4 model has 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU. It is not a change that most of the people who look at this class of computers will notice, and jumping on the $ 1199 model will give you those core back, but it makes it clear where the saving Apple is from that $ 100. The base 15 “model gets the same price cut, starting from $ 1199 instead of $ 1299, but instead of taking a hit on GPU, it takes a hit for storage; instead of starting on 512GB like its predecessor, it starts from 256GB. It probably will probably be more limited to the average consumer when you can be limited to average consumer. Can be.
M4 MacBook Air is now available for pre-order and will be available from March 12.
New Mac Studio

Apple has also updated Mac Studio, with its powerful internal and integrated UHS-II SD card reader with the aim of creative professionals. It has been a moment when the computer has been updated – the previous version came out in summer of 2023 and was operated by Apple’s M2 chips.
The base-spec studio now comes with M4 Max, with 14 CPU core and 32 GPU core. This chip is the same as found in the top-level Macbook professionals released last year. However, the computer also introduces M3 Ultra. As its name implies, it is built around Apple’s final-gene architecture, but it essentially makes two maximum-class chips to be connected together. Entry-Level M3 Max has a 28-core CPU and 60-core GPU, but can be given the option to add 4 CPU core and 20 GPU core.

The M3 Ultra also supports Thunderbolt 5, which is the first only available on M4-operated machines, which allows up to 120 GBPS for data transfer. Ultra-equipped studios have six Thunderbolt ports, which are two more than the Max model, with four Thunderbolt ports and two USB-C.
Beyond the new silicon, the new studio has some improvements in the previous generation. It can now run eight 6k displays or four 8K displays; M2-operated studio is at the top of six and three respectively. The M3 Ultra version is also available with much more storage and RAM; You can get it with a memory of up to 16TB SSD and 512GB, which Apple says that “a personal computer has the most integrated memory ever.” Maximum-out M2 Ultra supported only 8TB SSD and 192GB memory.
Given that it is more or less the flagship desktop of Apple – Sorry, Mac Pro – it is not surprising that it spends a lot of money. The M4 maximum version begins at $ 1999 and comes with 36GB memory and 512GB SSD. The M3 Ultra Studio starts at $ 3999 and has 96GB memory and 1TB SSD. Like all apple machines, the cost starts adding if you want to upgrade – the 512GB memory option costs additional $ 4000, and will run you a cool $ 4600 by colliding to that 16TB SSD. Both models are now available for pre-order, and will be available from March 12.
