Question about Apple MacBook Air – 2025

The laptop is basically suitable for employees working with Lightroom Classic, especially for everyday image editing and reviewing photos. The performance is smooth and responsive for normal editing tasks. However, the MacBook Air with M4 chip shows significantly lower performance during intensive and longer Lightroom Classic processes, such as exporting large quantities of images, and is prone to thermal throttling as it does not have a fan. This leads to longer waiting times for such tasks compared to more powerful or better cooled Macs. It is well suited for occasional and moderate Lightroom use, but less ideal for very extensive or professional workflows.
