Buying advice

MacBook Air 15 (M4) is the Air to buy when you want the same easy Apple-silicon experience with a larger workspace. It keeps the fanless, thin design and strong M4 CPU performance of the 13-inch model, but the 15.3-inch display and larger speakers make it better for split-screen work, writing, study, and travel media. It is still not a sustained-rendering workstation, so creative pros should look at MacBook Pro.
