Get it for $100 off right now, or save $200 if you double the SSD storage size. B&H Photo offers the same price (opens in new tab).View Deal (opens in new tab) The 2020 Apple MacBook Air M1 is one of the best laptops on the market right now. The addition of the M1 chip was a big deal, improving the optimization of macOS software and hardware, and putting a super-charged laptop in a thin, light, and portable package. This MacBook is the perfect work station for anyone who loves Apple's clean and creative OS. It performs remarkably well, with a comfortable keyboard, great HD webcam and an amazing 14-hour battery life to boot. The one downside is the MacBook Air's lack of ports. It has just 2 Thunderbolt 3 USB 4 ports, and a headphone jack. However, other features, like the MacBook's strong speakers and beautiful display, make this hard to complain about. The other downside is that Apple just released a brand-new MacBook Air M2 (2022). The latest iteration of the popular laptop may be its best version ever. The battery life is killer, it looks gorgeous with the screen open or closed, and the new M2 chip is a definite upgrade over the M1. That all being said, the price puts it at $1,199, or $300 more than this on-sale M1 MacBook Air. At that discount, newer isn't always better.Today's best Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro M2 dealsReduced Price (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$1,299 (opens in new tab)$1,149 (opens in new tab)View Deal (opens in new tab)Reduced Price (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$1,299 (opens in new tab)$1,149 (opens in new tab)View Deal (opens in new tab)Reduced Price (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$1,799 (opens in new tab)$1,699 (opens in new tab)View Deal (opens in new tab)Show More DealsWe check over 250 million products every day for the best prices Be In the Know Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
