Apple has officially unveiled the M4 MacBook Air. This newest version features a fresh sky blue color option and a more affordable entry price.

The starting price is set at $999 for the 13-inch variant (or $899 for education customers), while the 15-inch model starts at $1199 (and $1099 for educational buyers). Pre-orders are open today, with release scheduled for March 12. Here is the official statement:
