The champagne's popped, the new year's started, and holiday sales are drying up fast. Apple deals can be hard to come by any time of year, so I was surprised to see the MacBook Air, the best MacBook you can buy and one of the best laptops on the market, still going for hundreds of dollars off this weekend.

For example, Amazon has M4-based MacBooks on sale from $799. This killer Apple deal includes both the 13-inch ($799) and 15-inch ($999) M4 MacBook Air. Every storage option is $200 off right now, so you won't need to skimp on space either.
