SAVE $200: As of Oct. 27, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air with the M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage is on sale for only $999 at Amazon. That’s $200 or 17% off its usual cost of $1,199. That’s the lowest price on record for most colors.
If you’re looking to upgrade your laptop for cheap, the M4 MacBook Air is an incredible value — even at full price. When it debuted earlier this year, its price tag made us do a double take. In a world where everything — especially tech — is getting more expensive, the base model M4 MacBook Air is $100 cheaper than its predecessor. And as of Oct. 27, you can get it for even cheaper.
The upgraded M4 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage usually goes for $1,199, but right now, it’s down to only $999 in every color. That’s $200 or 17% off its list price and matches the lowest price on record for most colors. Not to mention, it’s the same cost as the base model with 256GB of storage when its not on sale. In other words, you’ll get double the storage for the same sub-$1,000 price.
Besides the ultra-low cost, we love the M4 MacBook Air for its impressive processing power, improved 12MP FaceTime camera, and open-lid support for two external displays, meaning you can still use its own screen even when it’s hooked up to monitors. It’s earned a top spot on our list of the best laptops for 2025, best MacBooks, and best cheap laptops. So long as you don’t need the more advanced specs of the MacBook Pro for things like video editing or graphic design work, the M4 Air will treat you wonderfully.
