Which should you buy, Apple MacBook Air 15-inch or LG Gram Pro 16 2025?
The Apple MacBook Air 15-inch is the one to take for content consumption and everyday multitasking, though it is not the pick for anyone who might want to add RAM or storage later and sustained GPU-heavy rendering or gaming. It also earns its place with buyers who want a bigger screen without moving to a MacBook Pro. The LG Gram Pro 16 2025 suits frequent travelers and OLED display fans, though it is the wrong buy for RAM upgraders. Our rating of the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (8.1/10): the M4 MacBook Air 15 combines an M4 chip, 16GB of unified memory, 512GB of storage and a 15.3 inch 2880 by 1864 IPS display at 500 nits. It weighs 1.51 kg with a 66.5Wh battery, which suits buyers who want a bigger screen for multitasking and media. Memory and storage are fixed, so choose your configuration carefully. Sustained GPU-heavy rendering or gaming is not what this model suits.
