Score your new M4 MacBook Air pre-order from just $449 with an M3 trade-in ($550 off), or $499 with an M2

Update 2: Pre-order listings are now live on Amazon for both the 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air configurations.

Update: On top of the trade offers below, Best Buy’s paid My Best Buy members can also score $50 off select all configurations without a trade-in.

While we are still tracking some deep discounts on the now previous-gen M3 models, Apple has officially unleashed the new M4 MacBook Air with a new Sky Blue colorway, and we are already tracking some notable pre-order savings opportunities. While for some folks the M3 Air they might have just scooped up over the holidays or with this year’s re-stock is just fine still, those looking to trade up for the new M4 model (or the sweet Sky Blue) colorway can flip a base model 16GB/256GB to score $550 off the new model at Best Buy right now. Details below.
