M1 MacBook Air is an even better value at $99 off
Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest 13-inch M1 MacBook Air 256GB for $900 in several styles. Typically fetching $999, this is matching our previous mention at $99 off while marking the first price cut since the new M2 model was revealed at $299 above today’s discount. The elevated 512GB capacity is also on sale at $1,150, down from $1,299.
While it isn’t the upcoming version of Apple’s most portable MacBook, there is still something to be said for just how good of a value the original M1 MacBook Air still is, especially at today’s price. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display with Apple Silicon under the hood, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt ports supplemented by Wi-Fi 6 as well as 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
