The new M4 MacBook Air lineup’s base model compromises on the GPU core count while offering the best possible CPU performance
At $999, which is the starting price of the new M4 MacBook Air series, it delivers a value proposition like no other, which is amazing, considering the fact that Apple also equips its latest portable Macs with 16GB of unified RAM as standard. Unfortunately, when taking a closer look at how the technology giant improved the specifications while charging a lower price, we find that Apple once again resorted to chip-binning, at least on the GPU side of things. While the base M4 MacBook Air ships with a 10-core CPU, we do not get to see the same number of GPU cores.GPU core count on the 13-inch base M4 MacBook Air is lower than what is present on the M4 iPad Pro family
There are several M4 versions that Apple introduced, starting with two options that were available in the redesigned iPad Pro series launched last year.
