We’re still a few weeks away from Thanksgiving sales, but some of our favorite gadgets, including Apple’s MacBook lineup, are already discounted at major retailers. Right now, the M4 MacBook Air is down to its lowest price yet: just $749 for the base model. That’s a massive $250 off the usual price and $50 lower than its previous record-low.

All color variants are included in the sale, including Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and the new Sky Blue finish.

Who Is the Apple M4 MacBook Air For?

While the M4 MacBook Air (review) isn’t as powerful as Apple’s MacBook Pro, it remains an ideal laptop for most users. With this discount, it becomes an easy recommendation.

The new M4 MacBook Air is thin and light, offering a portable yet solid build. It’s easier to carry than the slightly bulkier MacBook Pro. Although it looks delicate, it packs serious power thanks to the M4 chip. The silicon is not only faster due to the extra CPU core, but it also makes the Air surprisingly capable for gaming. There are major enhancements to neural processing too, which support demanding AI workflows.

Despite the performance boost, the M4 MacBook Air runs cool most of the time, even without a dedicated fan. This helps maintain its impressive 18-hour battery life. Apple’s rating may vary depending on usage, but it still outperforms most Windows laptops in battery longevity.

Beyond the internals, the MacBook Air features a stunning 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display that’s sharp, vibrant, and easy to read outdoors. The full-sized Magic Keyboard is always a pleasure to type on, and the large Force Touch trackpad is responsive and reliable.

Of course, there are trade-offs compared to the MacBook Pro, especially in terms of ports. However, the two USB-C Thunderbolt ports now support external monitors without needing to close the lid, which is a welcome upgrade.
