Though Apple has a new MacBook Air with an advanced M2 processor, the previous-gen M1 model is still our favorite option for students, thanks to its smooth performance and solid battery life. And if you’re gearing up for fall classes, then we’ve got a deal you won’t want to miss. Right now Amazon has all color variants on sale for just $750, which saves you $250 compared with the usual $999 asking price. There’s no set expiration for this deal, though, so you may want to get your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
Like all the best deals on Apple’s laptops, this one is available for multiple colors, so be sure to pick the one that suits your look. With space gray, silver and gold to choose from, we reckon there will be one for every taste.
Regardless of the color your MacBook Air comes wrapped in, you’re going to get the same speedy M1 performance, thanks to its eight-core CPU and seven-core GPU. That power won’t impact its battery life though: The M1 MacBook Air still boasts up to 18 hours of runtime on a single charge.
On top of all that, you can enjoy a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM as well as good old Touch ID for authentication for things like apps and Apple Pay.
Whether you’re kitting someone out for a new school or looking to take your work to the local coffee shop, this 13-inch MacBook Air will be a great option, especially if you’re looking to get a new laptop without spending four figures. And if you’re in the market for a different model, you can check out our full roundup of all the best laptop deals for even more bargains.
