Apple MacBook Air 15" M4

The Apple MacBook Air 15" M4 handles web development, scripting, and light compilation with surprising ease, despite its fanless design. It is 30% lighter than the #9 HP EliteBook 840 G11, making it ideal for developers prioritizing portability. The M4 chip delivers up to 18 hours of battery life during mixed workloads, outperforming the average ultraportable by 25%. For those who need a thin, silent companion for coding on the go, this is a top pick.
