Right now you can get one for as cheap as its ever been, because the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is $799 at Amazon, which is $200 off the usual asking price. It's one of the best MacBook deals of the year.

The discount applies across all sizes and configs of MacBook Air M4 on Amazon, so if you prefer a larger screen than the 13-inch Liquid Retina you get on the smaller MacBook Air you can also snag the bigger 15-inch model for $200 off.

If you read our MacBook Air M4 review and check out our lab test results you can easily see why we recommend it as one of the best laptops for most folks. The Liquid Retina display looks bright and colorful, and the M4 chip inside delivers great performance when working.

And according to our lab testing the MacBook Air M4 lasts nearly 15 hours on a full charge, which is remarkable battery life that ensures you can carry it for a full day of work or school without having to lug the charger along. It looks great at the coffee shop, especially the new Sky Blue color scheme.

Plus. when the work is done this thing is capable enough to run games optimized for Apple silicon at great framerates. So you can plug in a controller and play some Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil or Tomb Raider on your new MacBook Air for hours.

Just be aware that you're fairly limited when it comes to ports, so plugging in a gamepad will eat up valuable space. No matter which size of MacBook Air M4 you buy you only get a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack. Of course, you could always invest in a nice USB hub or dock if you want access to more ports down the road.

This is the lowest price I've ever seen the MacBook Air M4 hit and I don't know how long Amazon's sale will last, so act fast if you want one!
