Solid build and super speedy! I wasn't sure what to expect from these latest Intel mobile processors and this is replacing an aging desktop but WOW was I surprised! It is very fast. Boot time is fastest I've ever seen. Still getting to know Windows 11 Pro and not liking some aspects, but its not as horrible as I thought it would be.

Performance:10000/10 Product Quality:10000/10 Best Feature:m4 arrived quickly. the new m4 macbook air is an absolute beast of a machine, almost rivaling the old pro models. so glad i chose to splurge on the m4 instead of just getting an m2. been using it everyday for a week now and only charged it 2 or 3 times. the battery life is crazy good. love that i can use it with two displays now instead of shopee.ph
