Black Friday is packed with plenty of great Apple deals, but one of the most notable is the current discount on the latest MacBook Air. Right now, you can buy the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 with 256GB of storage at Amazon, Best Buy, and Costco starting around $749 ($250 off), which remains the laptop’s lowest price to date. If you prefer a larger display, the base 15-inch Air is also down to an all-time low of $949 ($250 off) at Amazon and Best Buy with 256GB of storage.
If you’re shopping for a laptop for everyday use, Apple’s latest entry-level MacBook Air remains our top pick. It offers everything most people need, including all-day battery life and snappy performance courtesy of Apple’s last-gen M4 processor. It also comes with twice as much base RAM as its predecessor (16GB), helping it power through productivity tasks — and even light video editing or casual gaming — with ease.
Additionally, unlike previous models, you can connect the M4 Air to two external displays with the lid open for better multitasking, whereas before the lid had to be closed. Apple also added a 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam previously reserved for the pricier MacBook Pros, which is sharper, offers a wider field of view, and keeps you centered in the frame during video calls. Overall, it’s a lightweight, dependable machine that delivers sufficient power without sacrificing portability, making it a great choice for students or anyone with less demanding needs.
