Here Are Real-World Photos of the New Sky Blue MacBook Air

[MacRumors]

Apple today updated the MacBook Air with the M4 chip, and the laptop is also available in an all-new Sky Blue finish alongside Silver, Starlight, and Midnight.

YouTuber Andru Edwards has showed off the Sky Blue color in a few real-world photos.

Keep in mind that the Sky Blue finish is not very saturated. However, the color's appearance will vary based on lighting conditions.

The Verge also shared some real-world photos.

Here is what Apple said about the Sky Blue finish:

Adding a new choice to the lineup of MacBook Air colors is the all-new sky blue. A beautiful, metallic light blue that creates a dynamic gradient when light reflects off of its surface, sky blue joins midnight, starlight, and silver to complete the brilliant array of color choices for MacBook Air. All color options, including sky blue, come with a color-matched MagSafe charge cable.

The new MacBook Air also features an upgraded Center Stage camera, support for two external displays with the lid open, and a few other changes.

The new MacBook Air is available to pre-order now, and it launches Wednesday, March 12.

I like the color better than space gray.

 

[usersince86]

Nice color. My wife will DEFINITELY choose this when we get our next MB!

 

[Acidsplat]

I'm using a starlight MacBook Air M3 and if anything happens to it, this is the next color option for me

 

[bsmr]

I like the color. better than space gray.

You think it s not that bright like silver ? Looks a bit darker and maybe better for the eyes?!

 

[pradeepbabloo]

Thats "Pale Sky Blue". But it looks ok on the Macbook. Good to have a new color option.

 

[SnowPenguin]

It is beautiful, but it looks gray to me

 

[jz0309]

definitely better than midnight imho

 

[poematik13]

Yep, its blue

 

[Reason077]

Looks surprisingly similar to Space Grey, just a bit lighter? Really need to see it next to a Silver and an M3 Space Grey to get a good comparison!

The picture may be deceiving but, it doesn't look bright to me.

I like this icy blue color, it‘s perfectly fitting for the Air.
Btw Andru getting first dibs on the C1 modem and now the new MBA🤓

 

[Aeronauts]

They should have kept the Space Grey and added the Blue as an extra colour option.

 

[brofkand]

Not for me but a nice color. I like silver best tbh.

 

[JaumeRojo]

I just found this vídeo

60 Hz LCD screen with poor brightness levels for $999.

I'm never buying one, I'm a display elitist.

It's a shame they took off the Space Gray color option. Now there are 3 bright colors and ugly Midnight Blue.

I like it! I still say they should have offered the Air in the same colors as iMac (yellow, pink, etc).

There doesn’t seem to be any correlation between the colours available on each device unless you get the standard Silver.

 

[FrankySavvy]

Looks definitely more blue then a cool silver. I like it!

Agreed! It’s hard to think about going back to a 60 Hz LCD screen after living with an M4 iPad Pro 13”.

 

[nikhsub1]

I ordered the sky blue. Had midnight before.

 

[iPhone-Guy]

Looks definitely more blue then a cool silver. I like it!

I have the iPad Air 5th gen in blue and I love how it looks, from what I can tell the new MacBook Air’s Sky Blue will be somewhat lighter but still look fantastic

I don't think they look similar at all. Looks more similar to silver to me, but it's significantly darker than space gray.

Agreed! It’s hard to think about going back to a 60 Hz LCD screen after living with an M4 iPad Pro 13”.

all my screens are either high brightness OLED or mini LED & all 120 Hz. although I like the MBA form factor, the low end specs keep me away. same goes for the low end iPads. can’t imagine spending hours and hours looking at a budget display knowing there’s better ones available. you win Tim.
