While we are just beginning to roll out the carpet for 2026, you can already pick up some of your favorite Apple tech at a discount. Amazon currently has several devices on sale, including the M4 MacBook Air. This thin and light laptop has returned to a $799 price point, down from its usual $999. This translates to a $200 discount, or 20 percent off, and is just $50 shy of the record all time low price we saw late last year.
The deal applies to the 13 inch model equipped with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The retailer is offering this discount on all color options: Midnight, Sky Blue, Starlight, and Silver. A similar $200 saving is also available for the 512 GB configuration, which is currently listed for $999 instead of $1,199.
Why the M4 MacBook Air is the Perfect Laptop for Most Users
Apple’s MacBook Air remains the lighter and more compact alternative to the MacBook Pro. Beyond the portable form factor, it is also more affordable, lowering the barrier for students and professionals who do not require the extreme power or cooling fans of the pricier Pro models.
The M4 MacBook Air (review) was launched in March 2025, introducing several impactful improvements that bring it closer to the Pro level. This includes the Apple M4 chipset, which is notably faster than the M3 in both processing power and graphics performance.
Additionally, the new silicon is optimized for Apple Intelligence tasks thanks to a much faster neural engine. Despite the increase in power, the machine remains incredibly efficient, with a battery life rated for up to 18 hours.
The M4 MacBook Air also brings a significant boost to productivity. For example, you can now connect up to two external displays via the USB C ports while the laptop lid remains open. This is a highly requested function that multitaskers and creators will find incredibly beneficial.
When you are on the go, the 13.6 inch Liquid Retina display is equally impressive. It is bright, color rich, and very sharp. There is also a new 12 MP FaceTime camera, which is a major step up from the previous generation. This new sensor supports Center Stage, which uses AI to keep you perfectly framed and centered during video calls.
