"There's something in the air," posted Apple CEO Tim Cook on X. And it's likely a MacBook Air with an M4 chip.

On Monday, Cook teased a product drop happening this week. He didn't specify the day or time, but the "air" hint all but confirms strong rumors that it will be the M4 MacBook Air. This was predicted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman who expected a March launch. Given that today is the first business day in March, that prediction is right on track.

Apple is also rumored to be launching a new iPad Air soon. Although given the timing of the product cycles and inventory, odds are on the M4 MacBook Air to debut first.

What to expect with the M4 MacBook Air

Like its predecessors, the M4 MacBook Air is expected to come in 13-inch and 15-inch versions. It will also reportedly be equipped with the M4 chip, which is the same that powers the 2024 MacBook Pro and iMac.

According to 9to5Mac, the new MacBook Air will offer increased RAM from 24GB to 32GB, a 12MP Center Stage camera, and increased speed and performance that comes with the more powerful chipset. It might also include Thunderbolt 4 ports for better external display support.

As we mentioned, a new iPad Air isn't entirely out of the question, since it too is reportedly slated for release. Maybe a MacBook Air / iPad Air combo since the hint could apply to both?

We won't have to wait long to find out.
