Memorial Day sales are right around the corner. If you're looking to pick up one of Apple's powerful laptops, now is the time. We've found one of the best MacBook deals available.
Right now, Amazon has the Apple MacBook Air M1 for $899. This is one of the biggest price cuts we have seen for this 2020 laptop. However, this sale only applies to the Gold and Silver colors of the model with 256GB of SSD storage. However, if you upgrade to the 512GB model, you can save up to $150.
The latest Macbook Air features a 13-inch 2,560 x 1,600 pixel Retina display, 8GB of RAM, Apple's 8-core M1 CPU, and a 256GB SSD, all in a slim 2.8 pound chassis. What's more, despite its basic configuration, this Macbook has the same CPU as the more powerful MacBook Pro M1, giving it superior performance for working on the go.
MacBook Air M1 reviewers gave this model a near perfect score thanks to its outstanding performance, comfortable keyboard design, HD webcam, and surprisingly strong battery life. We were also impressed with its True Tone technology, which automatically adjusts the display to the environment.
We also did not like the relatively thick bezel and lack of additional ports, but overall, the Macbook Air 2020 proved to be one of the best portable machines on the market today. In fact, we even stated that "the MacBook Air M1 has the speed and battery life to beat the best PCs. [Thanks to the powerful M1 chip, the Air scored 5,962 points in the Geekbench 5.1 (Intel) multi-core test, essentially a dead heat with the M1 MacBook Pro's 5,925 points. It also significantly outperformed the ZenBook 13's 5,084 and the XPS 13's 5,319 in the equivalent Geekbench 5.2 test (both tested with Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU and 16GB RAM).
