If you’ve been holding off on getting a new laptop, now’s a great time to pick one up. Ahead of Black Friday, you can snag the base 13-inch M4-powered MacBook Air for $749.99 ($250 off) in multiple colors at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on Apple’s slim laptop, letting you save more than ever for the holidays. Additionally, the 15-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip is down to $949.99 ($250 off) at Amazon in multiple colors, another all-time low.
Apple’s entry-level MacBook Air is a fantastic value at full price, offering an impressive combination of performance and battery life. It’s also cheaper and more capable than its predecessor, delivering faster performance courtesy of Apple’s M4 chip. It also boasts double the base RAM at 16GB, so you can run Apple’s latest macOS 26 update and Apple Intelligence features without experiencing slowdown. Plus, it features an upgraded 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam, which produces a sharper image and a wider field of view. I’ve been rocking a company-issued 13-inch M4 Air model for the past several months, and I have yet to see it break a sweat. It’s easy to see why we consider it to be the best laptop available.
Luckily, the sale applies to multiple colors, so you can opt for the classic silver or gold instead of the dark blue color, which is a fingerprint magnet. Whichever one you pick up, it’ll offer all-day battery life, a Thunderbolt 4 upgrade for the two ports, and the ability to connect two external displays with the lid still open. If you prefer the 15-inch Air’s larger display, you’ll also enjoy the benefits of the model’s six-speaker system over the 13-inch model’s four speakers. However, both sizes are limited to two Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C ports and a base storage capacity of 256GB.
