Scaled size comparison drawings of the Apple MacBook Air (4th Gen) in relation to related Apple Macbooks

The Apple MacBook Air (4th Gen) was released in 2021 as an upgrade for the third generation MacBook Air. It lacks an optical disk drive. This gives it a flat design that takes after that of MacBook Pro notebooks. Other things that make this laptop attractive include the large Liquid Retina display, MagSafe 3 port, FaceTime camera, full height function keys, support for Magic Keyboard, better storage capacity, and a variety of finishes. Where it beats previous models is its long battery life, exceptional performance, and quiet fanless design. The last is made possible because it uses the new M1 chipset.

The Apple MacBook Air (4th Gen) has a height of .44” (1.13 cm), width of 11.97” (30.41 cm), depth of 8.46” (21.5 cm), and weighs 2.73 lb (1.24 kg). The screen of the Apple MacBook Air (4th Gen) is 13.6” (34.5 cm) diagonal and has a resolution of 2560 x 1664 px at 224 ppi.

Series of scaled illustrations comparing the size of the Apple MacBook Pro - 14” (5th Gen) to other related Macbook models

Other features which were only seen in earlier models like function keys, HDMI port, SD card reader, better memory, and MagSafe port were also re-introduced.
