Reg. $999/$750

The early Prime Day savings are beginning to pour in, and now the best value in portable macOS machines is an even better bargain. Apple’s 13-inch M1 MacBook Air normally sells for $999, and now it’s dropping lower than ever before courtesy of Amazon as a new all-time low lands at $749.99 shipped. With $249 in savings attached, this is $49 under our previous mention and marking the only time it has dropped below $799 for a new condition model. This discount is also being matched over at Best Buy, as well.

While it isn’t that all-new version of Apple’s most portable MacBook, there is still something to be said for just how good of a value the original M1 MacBook Air still is, especially with as steep of a discount attached as you’ll find. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display with Apple Silicon under the hood, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt ports supplemented by Wi-Fi 6 as well as 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
