I’m still not sure between the 15” Air and the 14” Pro but a new M4 Air makes my choice a bit easier as I prefer the larger screen. I know the Pro screen is better as is the sound, but I’m used to a 16” W11 laptop so I’m leaning towards the 15” Air.
 
I needed to upgrade my M1 Air (mostly due to its 256 GB storage capacity becoming a bottleneck) and went with an 14" MBP with M4 Pro a couple months ago. It's odd that the Air is getting its M4 this much later, and I'm glad I didn't need to wait for it.

Wife's 6-year-old HP laptop is on its last legs so I've been anxiously awaiting the M4 MBA 15 to switch her to MacOS. I am 90% intent on ordering the M4 MBA 15 as soon as it comes out. Price will determine if we go M4 or snag a better deal on M3.
 
What is this poll? We don’t know what the M4 MBA will look like.

If it comes with OLED display, I will order one. It it is still uses IPS, I will skip.

I would expect it to look like the M3, possibly with Wi-Fi 7 added and maybe an extra USB/TB port. I doubt it gets nano texture because the iPad Air didn't either.
 
I was thinking about a buying a framework but the MacBook Airs are just so beautiful and the touchpads are soo nice

My thoughts exactly. Framework laptop has the functionality, upgradability, but is otherwise nowhere near the elegance of the Air.

Assuming no spec changes other than the bump from M3 to M4, I'll be holding on to my M1 Pro MBP. I saw the new MBPs with the nano-texture display and I really want one of those, and I'm assuming those screens won't be coming to the MBAs any time soon.

If the M4 MBAs somehow do get the nano-texture option I'd go for it, though.
 
I am not but I utterly adored my M2 air, such a fantastic portable machine that is far more powerful than people realized. I loved that machine.
What happened to it?



As to the poll I suspect it will be released early 2026 so unless something goes wrong with my M2 Air between now and then I’ll hold off.
