While we don't condone panic buying because of tariffs, there are some sensible tech purchases you can make if you were planning on buying them anyway. Laptops are definitely one of them.
Although this is the entry level MacBook Air, it comes with 16GB of RAM, twice what the previous generation's basic model came with. This is enough to take on intensive applications and projects right now and for many years to come. It also comes with a 13.6-inch "Liquid Retina" display, with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,664, a P3 wide color gamut, and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. You'll also get an excellent backlit keyboard with Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6E support, and great speakers and microphones. Apple also decided to bring back MagSafe charging with this laptop.
The 12MP camera comes with Center Stage. You might've first seen this feature on iPads and on the M4 MacBook Pro, which follows your face as you move around the frame during video calls. The two USB-C ports are Thunderbolt 4 means you can extend to up to two 6K external monitors if you buy the equipment separately.
For a "basic" laptop, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air offers an incredible value for its price, and actually a much better value than the Pro, according to Senior Tech Editor Jake Peterson. If you take into account the discount, it really is the best MacBook for most people.
