Apple MacBook Air 13" M4 vs Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12

Apple MacBook Air 13" M4

M4 chip delivers excellent everyday and creative performance.

• M4 is ~20% faster than M3 in CPU tasks — handles 4K video editing, coding, and multitasking with ease
• 16GB unified memory standard means no more worrying about running out of RAM
• Can handle light gaming and ML tasks thanks to improved GPU and Neural Engine

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12

Solid for productivity workloads but not a powerhouse for creative or development tasks.

• Intel Core Ultra handles multitasking and office work effortlessly, but don't expect it to replace a MacBook Pro for heavy creative work.
• The integrated GPU is fine for light photo editing and even casual gaming, but dedicated GPU options would be welcome.
