The newest MacBook Air has never ever ever been this cheap. Like ever

If you’re looking to buy a new MacBook Air, there’s really no reason to pay full price. Amazon is always running some sale, with the most recent Prime Day discount knocking $150 off the MSRP. But now Amazon has dropped the M4 MacBook Air to a new best price lower than we’ve ever seen for the latest MacBook Air: just $799, an impressive $200 off its already-low $999 MSRP.

Compared to the previous MacBook Air models, you’re actually saving $500. Apple cut the price of the M4 Air by $100, plus upped the RAM from 8GB to 16GB, which previously cost $200. To put into perspective how cheap this is, Walmart sells the M1 Air with 8GB of RAM for $599, just $200 less for a 4-generation-old chip, half the RAM, and an outdated design.

This laptop comes with the super speedy M4 chip, which means it can handle anything you need to get done on any given day. The laptop comes with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage space, which should be enough, especially if you pick up an external drive with the savings. And of course, the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display makes everything look beautiful while the long battery life will keep everything running all day.

When we reviewed the 15-inch version of the M4 MacBook Air, we gave it a 5-star review and our Editors’ Choice award. One of our favorite things about the new laptop is that its Thunderbolt 4 port lets you connect two external displays at 6K and 60Hz, which will be a productivity boost. Of course, you’ll also get to enjoy everything macOS 26 Tahoe has to deliver, including new Apple Intelligence features and a much-improved Spotlight search.

So drop everything now and go grab the M4 MacBook Air for $799 because this is the cheapest it’s ever been.
