MacBookRanked #4 in MacBooks
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

PositiveReplaced a 16 inch M2 Pro with the 15 inch M4 Air for development. Found it amazingly light and thin and powerful enough to notice no difference, though the missing ports are the main thing they miss.
Of the 9 reviews with a clear verdict, 67% are positive, 22% mixed and 11% negative. The praise mentioned most is light and portable. The most common complaint is runs hot.
The complaints reviewers mention most: runs hot (1 review), screen issues (1 review) and short battery life (1 review). For example: Upgraded from an M1 Air to a 32GB/1TB M4 Air 15 and was disappointed: battery ends around 15% after 4-5 hours in a cafe, and it runs noticeably hotter than the M1.
