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

I have done quite alot of research and other window brands to change my new laptop. This laptop is my 1st choice even 2nd choice is still ASUS Zenbook 14 Oled intel core ultra 9 285H. As a undergraduate student who do quite alot of programming and gaming, this is the most suitable for me because of it’s performance and size. It is so light weight and more over minimalist design and high quality ma Lina_33 · asus.com
