Apple MacBook Air 15 M4 评测--无风扇 M4 SoC 领先竞争对手多年
功率更大,价格更低。
Apple MacBook Air 15 配备了快如闪电的 M4 SoC,但仍采用被动散热方式。它还配备了新的 1200 万像素网络摄像头和新的配色。不过,它的 60 Hz 显示屏没有变化,也没有哑光选项,但 Air 现在便宜了 100 美元。Andreas Osthoff, 👁 Andreas Osthoff (translated by DeepL / Ninh Duy) Published 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 ...
结论:MacBook Air 15 M4 以更低的价格提供更强的性能
即使采用了全新的 M4 处理器,MacBook Air 15 在日常使用中仍然是一款整体性能非常出色的产品,它的高 CPU 性能与被动散热相结合,尤其令人印象深刻。即使在持续负载的情况下,该处理器仍然比英特尔的 Lunar Lake 芯片更快,例如,在单核性能方面,M4 处理器至少领先竞争对手两代。在没有风扇的情况下,Windows 世界中根本没有其他设备能达到如此快的速度。
Apple 还将入门级产品的价格降低了 100 美元,但内存和固态硬盘存储的高额附加费以及缺乏可用的维护选项等问题依然没有改变。
它的显示屏也没有任何变化,这可能会让一些消费者失望。如果你想要哑光屏或 120 Hz,你还是得换成更笨重、更昂贵的 MacBook Pro。即便如此,它的 IPS 显示屏在没有 PWM 的情况下仍能提供出色的图像质量。IPS 屏幕需要消耗大量电能,尤其是在高亮度情况下,但总体而言,这款笔记本电脑的电池续航时间仍然一如既往地出色。不过,一些竞争对手,如 ThinkPad X9等竞争对手在图像质量和电池续航时间方面都占据了上风。
MacBook Air 当然可以做得更好,但你也必须考虑到它在产品系列中的地位,因为它是Apple 价格最实惠的系列。此外,配备哑光显示屏和 120 Hz 频率的 MacBook Air 15 自然会影响 MacBook Pro 14 M4 的销售数字。 MacBook Pro 14 M4.
Pros
Cons
Apple 更新了 MacBook Air 产品线,在笔记本电脑中安装了 M4 处理器。旧的 M3 代的内存已在去年增加到至少 16 GB,但现在 M4 MacBook Air 的内存已增加到 32 GB。令人有些意外的是,Apple ,这两款产品的入门级价格分别降低了 100 美元;配备 16GB 内存和 256GB 固态硬盘的 MacBook Air 15 现在的起价为 1199 美元。我们的测试机配备 1 TB 固态硬盘和 16 GB 内存,MRSP 为 1599 美元。

规格
外壳和连接
Apple MacBook 的外壳设计没有任何改变,其 11.5 毫米的纤薄设计依然令人印象深刻。铝合金一体成型机身的质量依然很好,但 Air 15 1.52 千克的重量也不轻。可选颜色有所变化,太空灰被取消,取而代之的是天蓝色。
我们对其制造质量和稳定性仍然没有什么可抱怨的,但其连接情况仍然仅限于 MagSafe 和 2x USB-C。不过值得庆幸的是,这些连接现在都支持 Thunderbolt 4,M4 SoC 除了内部面板外,还可以控制两个外部显示器。维护选项不可用。
Mac 的 Wi-Fi 模块仍然支持包括蓝牙 5.3 在内的 Wi-Fi 6E,在我们使用华硕参考路由器进行的测试中,其传输速率非常稳定。网络摄像头有了重大升级,现在安装了一个 1200 万像素的传感器,除了图像跟踪(Center Stage)外,还支持桌面视图。

性能 - MacBook Air 现配备高达 32GB 内存
处理器 - M4 SoC
我们已经熟悉了 M4 SoC它的整体性能再次非常出色。M4 在测试设备内的最大功耗为 20.5 瓦,但在我们的测试过程中,功耗迅速降低,并在连续负载 20 分钟后最终稳定在 9 瓦(1 分钟后约为 15.5 瓦;5 分钟后为 12 瓦)。因此,它的多核性能略低于 MacBook Pro,但总体上仍然非常出色,特别是考虑到它运行 Cinebench 2024 多核测试的时间(几分钟)。30 分钟后,它的性能为 776 分,仅比 Lunar Lake 竞争对手低 11%,因此仍优于 Lunar Lake 竞争对手。在更短的 Geekbench 测试中,它的表现甚至更好。
不过,M4 的真正亮点是其巨大的单核性能,它不必躲避其较大的同胞兄弟 M4 Pro/Max。根据不同的基准测试,M4 的性能比目前的 Lunar Lake 或快速 Snapdragon 双核 Turbo 机型高出 30-45%。一如既往,它在电池模式下的性能绝对稳定。

在我们的测试中,配备 10 个内核的 M4 GPU 性能非常出色,尤其是在与 Lunar Lake iGPU 直接比较时。它的性能也与 M4 MacBook Pro 相当--至少在短期基准测试中是如此。在较长的负载情况下,图形处理器的性能下降了约 22%。它的游戏性能也相当不错,尽管原生游戏(如本例中的《博德之门 3》)的可用性仍然是限制因素。

温度
尽管采用了被动散热,但在我们的测试中,笔记本电脑的表面温度并不苛刻,即使在满载的情况下,我们测得的最高温度也只有 45 °C。因此,在正常的日常使用中,MacBook Air 始终保持非常凉爽。即使是 35 瓦的电源也没有过热,最高温度为 43 °C。在综合 CPU/GPU 负载的压力测试中,SoC 的功耗最初为 29 瓦,但很快降至 9 瓦左右。
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 44.9 °C / 113 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 43.9 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 39.3 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23.1 °C / 74 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 37.3 °C / 99 F, compared to the average of 30.8 °C / 87 F for the class Subnotebook.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (35.5 °C / 95.9 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.2 °C / 82.8 F (-7.3 °C / -13.1 F).

耗电量
其功耗值与前代机型基本相同。IPS 面板在全亮度条件下仍然需要相对较高的电量,Air 的耗电量也高于同类产品。在压力测试中,35 瓦的电源仅在几秒钟内起到了限制作用,总的来说是足够的,但同时为电池充电似乎没有太多的储备。可免费选配 70 瓦电源。

运行时间
与旧型号相比,它的电池续航时间变化很小。在 150 cd/m² 的 WLAN 测试中,我们注意到它的续航时间为 16.5 小时,而在全亮度条件下,它的续航时间仅为 6:45 小时--这与它的消耗值相符。在视频测试中,Air 实现了近 19 个小时的运行时间。考虑到电池容量,这些结果都不错,但 ThinkPad X9 在所有情况下(尤其是最大亮度下)的续航时间都更长。在使用 35 瓦电源的情况下,其充电时间长达 02:44小时。
