SAVE $200: As of Aug. 6, the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is on sale for $1,199 at Amazon and Best Buy. That's 14% off its $1,399 MSRP and its lowest price to date.

In a market where many Windows laptops start wheezing by mid-afternoon, the Air M4 holds its ground without breaking a sweat. Design-wise, it hasn't changed much since 2022, but that's not a bad thing. The keyboard is a joy to type on, the Touch ID sensor is snappy, and the trackpad is still best-in-class.

The Apple MacBook Air M4 is cheaper than ever, and it's such a good laptop that competitors are having a hard time catching up.
