"Apple's latest MacBook Air (launched in March) has been among the company's most popular laptops for some time now, but price has usually been the stumbling block. On Apple's website, this MacBook Air with the M4 chip in its base configuration (16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD storage) starts at $999. But today, Amazon has knocked everyone back by lowering the very same model to an all-time low price of $799."
"The new M4 chip is at the heart of it and brings faster performance across the board. For everyday use, it makes juggling multiple apps smoother and faster. But it also goes into denser ground like photo and video editing or even graphics-intensive games. On top of that, Apple's new Intelligence features which rely on the M4 to make writing assistance, automating operations and privacy-first AI capabilities possible."
"While the performance boost is significant, design is still focused on portability: Winging in at over 2.7 pounds and under half an inch thick, this MacBook Air is meant to slide into a bag and almost disappear until you need it. Battery life is another bonus with up to 18 hours on one charge. That means you really can make it through a whole workday without having to plug in."
The MacBook Air with the M4 chip is available from Amazon for $799 in its base 16GB/256GB configuration, down from the $999 Apple price, with identical warranty and delivery options. The M4 delivers faster overall performance for multitasking, photo and video editing, and graphics-intensive games while enabling Apple Intelligence features like writing assistance, automation, and privacy-first AI. The laptop prioritizes portability at just over 2.7 pounds and under half an inch thick, offers up to 18 hours of battery life, MagSafe charging, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a headphone jack, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and support for two external monitors. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display shows a billion colors with high brightness, contrast and accurate color, and the camera has received major improvements.
