Unless you need a powerful laptop to run demanding applications, the M1 MacBook Air is probably just the laptop for you. It’s our budget recommendation for anyone shopping for a MacBook, thanks to its quality design, excellent battery life and surprising performance. What was already a good price at $1,000 is only made better with this 35% discount.
Despite weighing just 2.8 pounds, qualifying it as an ultra-portable, the M1 MacBook Air still manages to offer enough performance that users tackling everyday computing needs are unlikely to run into a hitch. Better still, the M1 chip is so efficient, you won’t be running for a power outlet every couple hours.
Normally you’d expect some more compromises on a budget machine, like a plastic chassis or a disappointing display. Still, this MacBook Air has a sleek aluminum construction and a sharp display. Until we start seeing the M2 MacBook Air at this price, this kind of deal will be hard to overlook.
