There’s one big M4 MacBook Air feature that could make you upgrade from M3 — M4 MacBook Air to support two monitors with the lid open

Apple’s M4 MacBook Air is coming very soon, and it could prove worth the upgrade for one feature alone: more robust external display support.

And just like when the M3 MacBook Pro tipped us off to expanded display support coming to the M3 Air, the same story is playing out again. Whether you’re using last year’s M3 Air, or certainly an older M2 or M1 model, the ability to drive two monitors plus keep your lid open is a huge win. It means being able to use the MacBook Air’s built-in keyboard and trackpad rather than needing separate accessories, and it increases the amount of screen space you have in total.
