As we head into Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, there have been several great deals on Apple products, and with this year’s updates to the Mac lineup, there’s no better time than now to buy a Mac, especially if you’re coming from an aging Intel-based Mac.
Lucky for you, if you’re entering the Mac ecosystem or just want the core Mac experience, the M1-based MacBook Air has been the best deal for first-time Mac buyers or those who want the most affordable MacBook that gets simple productivity tasks done. The M1 Air has been out for three years as one of the first Macs with Apple Silicon that Apple introduced. Apple has always offered this machine starting at $999, even when the next-generation M2 models have been introduced. However, you can snag one on Amazon starting at just $749.99 with 256GB of SSD; that’s $250 off the suggested retail price.
Even though it doesn’t have the latest design language or hardware features that the higher-end models offer, this MacBook Air is still capable of running the latest macOS experience with many years of software support to come.
