SAVE UP TO $87.58: As of April 23, the M4-powered Apple MacBook Air has fallen to a new record-low price on Amazon. You can now score the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air for just $911.42 (normally $999).
Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper thanks to Amazon. After dropping the base models of the 13-inch notebooks to $939 on Tuesday, April 22, the retail giant has put them on sale for even better prices, a mere 24 hours later.
At the time of writing, the midnight black variant of the 13-inch model was listed for only $911.42 on Amazon, or almost $88 off its $999 MSRP. (Other colorways had fallen to $912.) For shoppers interested in a slightly bigger, nicer display, the 15-inch version had dipped to $1,117 in starlight and silver — that’s an $82 discount on its $1,199 sticker price. Both come with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage, though the 15-inch model has a slightly higher resolution and two extra speakers.
Apple released its M4 MacBook Air refresh in mid-March, adding open-lid support for two external displays and a new 12MP Center Stage camera in addition to that zippy new CPU. After testing the 15-inch model, Mashable’s Stan Schroeder deemed it « impressively powerful » and « the best-buy Apple laptop, period. » We recently named it the best MacBook for most people, and the 13-inch model will soon be crowned our favorite budget MacBook. (Full disclosure: The only reason I spotted Amazon’s excellent deal was because I was in the process of adding it to our « best cheap laptops » guide. Stay tuned for its full writeup.)
Snagging either M4 MacBook Air through Amazon right now means locking its lowest price to date — and its lowest price anywhere. B&H Photo had the sky blue 13-inch model on sale for $912 the last time we checked, but all other configurations of both sizes were pricier there than on Amazon. And while you can technically save a whole $100 by going directly through the Apple Store, that offer is reserved for college students and educators.
Meanwhile, the M4 MacBook Airs are stuck at full price at Best Buy.
