*** The official 2025 MacBook Air 13" and 15" thread (it has the M4 chip and everything!) ***

All set up now, it's very VERY close in size to my old 2018 MBP

What’s the keyboard? I like that
 
I weighed the MBA - 1230g, 1.23kg.
M1 iPad Air with Magic Keyboard, 1067g, 1.067kg.

Difference of 163g. Tiny, considering the MBA is 13.6" and the iPad Air is 10.9".
 
Getting my 15" tomorrow. Going to get a pouch/outer case for it just to keep it from clashing with the other two laptops I carry about.

Seen warnings about screen protectors etc so won't be bothering. Most I might do is use a keyboard protector and remember to remove it before I close the lid.

I got a tomtoc sleeve. Well padded and about £25. Nice material with pocket on the outside for cables and a small nvme drive. I would slip in charger had it not for a UK plug being massive. But I also don’t want a single pressure point on the outside in case of it being squashed in a bag.

Yeah that's literally all I want cheers. I've got a multi port charger thing I carry around to save having multiple but keep that in my normal rucksack.
I don't really have any need to take this out and about outside of work once a week, and that's just for lunchtimes etc.

This is the one I have, they have others without the added pouch, which tbh, no idea where i put mine. Think they do one for £20 without the pouch.

I’ve got that tomtoc Pouch as well. It’s pretty good for the money tbh

If I could justify the extra money I’d get a Bellroy desk one that stands up right but it’s not worth the 3x the cost.
 
Casey thing arriving tomorrow. I won't be changing to iPhone, no need and I like my Pixels but now I can be one of those "I can't be ...techist?, I have a Macbook and an Android phone".
 
Skimmed some stock profits and treated the missis to a Mac Air 15” base model. Been nagging about her iPad Pro being too limiting for ages.

Doesn’t feel like a depreciating asset like a lot of tech buys! These M4 airs are the business and will be good for a looong time.
 
Bought myself 13-MBA over the weekend. any sugestions on sleeves or carry case/bag?
Somthing slim, that can also fit the charger

I have a Tomtoc one, there is a side pocket where i fitted in 2 USB-C cables, the Magsafe charger cable, a USB hub/SSD enclosure with 1TB and a Magic mouse.

Not a charger though, the UK one is too big. should be able to fit a US one but not the G plug.

Unless it is one of these but I wouldn't use that on a Macbook.
