Apple sent me the 15-inch variant of the new MacBook Air in the new "sky blue" color, with an M4 chip, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of storage space. I haven't yet spent enough time with it to tell you whether it's a good purchase, but I can say one thing: The sky blue color will only shine in a certain light.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M4 sets a new standard for laptop value by lowering its price while raising the bar on performance and adding a class-leading webcam.
