If you’re thinking about buying a new MacBook Air, now is a good time. Amazon has the M4-powered, 13-inch MacBook Air at a record-low price of $749 right now. The 25 percent discount also applies to multiple colors.
We’ve ranked it as our favorite Apple laptop in our list of the best MacBook computers. Hey, this is our very favorite laptop. Full stop. Performance is exceptionally fast thanks to the M4 chip. We appreciated the improved battery life, which now lasts about 18 hours per charge. That’s more than a full day’s work.

The design is lightweight, but strong. It has become a hallmark for modern MacBook Air computers. The screen is both gorgeous and huge, even though it’s technically only a 13-inch panel. It has support for P3 wide color gamut and can reach up to 500 nits brightness.
It’s an almost perfect laptop, but it has some flaws. There’s no USB-C port on the right side, limiting how users can arrange accessories on the desk. Also, the screen is capped at a 60Hz refresh rate. Another potential complication is the looming specter of the M5 chip. The company has already released the MacBook Pro M5, so a new MacBook Air is likely to arrive in the near future. (Read: sometime in early 2026).
If you need more screen space, you’ll also get a similar discount on the 15-inch MacBook Air at Amazon. Most color options are off by $250 and are down to $949 for the base model (you guessed it – another all-time low).
