Apple’s MacBook Air is undoubtedly one of the best laptops money can buy, but here’s the thing: it doesn’t come cheap. At $999, the M4 MacBook Air is far from one of the best budget laptops, but there’s no question that it oozes quality. That’s why today is a good day for anyone interested in Apple’s slimline device, as it’s currently going for a tempting 25% off at Amazon, bringing its price down to an all-time low of $749.99. That’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen this model – and it’s still the most up-to-date MacBook Air you can buy, with no M5 model in sight yet.
It comes outfitted with Apple’s M4 chip, which delivers fantastic performance for the price. When we reviewed the M4 MacBook Air, our reviewer noted: “the MacBook Air 13 and its M4 chip handled everything I threw at it,” including AAA game Lies of P at maximum settings, editing 4K 120fps clips in Final Cut Pro, and more. While it’s not built for high-end professional workflows, it’ll be more than enough for most people.
Today’s best M4 MacBook Air deal
The MacBook Air is Apple’s thinnest and lightest laptop. With a powerful M4 chip, it can handle most tasks that you throw at it, while its excellent display, comfortable keyboard, and impressive battery life round it out. Right now it’s on sale for $749.99, saving you $200.View Deal
Throw in a fantastic battery life of just under 15 hours in our testing, plus a gorgeous Liquid Retina display, top-notch build quality, and the smooth and seamless macOS operating system, and the M4 MacBook Air is a brilliant experience all around. Oh, and its M4 chip is so thermally efficient that it doesn’t need a fan, meaning the MacBook Air is completely silent in use.
And it’s not only US shoppers who benefit from this price cut – the same device is enjoying a 12% discount on Amazon UK, reducing its price to £879. That’s nothing to sniff at, particularly for one of Apple’s most popular and capable computers.
Apple is not exactly known for slashing the prices of its own products, and sales events on the company’s online store are pretty much unheard of. Amazon tends to be a little more generous with the discounts, but even so, a 25% price drop on a current-gen device is very rare. That means this is a great option if you’re in the market for one of Apple’s most popular laptops and don’t want to pay through the nose for the privilege.
