Joining some sweet $200 price drops across the most affordable end of the M4 MacBook Air lineup over at Amazon, B&H is landing this morning with a deal on one for folks who need some serious power. The 32GB 15-inch model is also now $200 off the list price. This is a configuration you can’t even buy at Amazon, but is it worth it when you can get a 24GB MacBook Pro for less, or a 16GB Air for much less than that?
Authorized Apple dealer B&H is now offering the heavily upgraded 15-inch M4 MacBook Air in the Midnight colorway down at $1,799 shipped. That’s a lot for a MacBook Air, but we are talking about model with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB internal SSD that can run circles around the base model.
While for many the entry 16GB variants with 256GB of storage are just fine for casual use, getting some work done, browsing, and YouTube action, the config we have here today sports double the RAM and 4x storage capacity for folks looking to make an investment in a machine that will last for years to come.
But when you get up into the more pricey Airs (or any piece of Apple kit for that matter) it is important to at least understand how much you’re spending and how much the higher-end machines are selling for:
M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB $1,299 ($300 off)
M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB $1,499 ($300 off)
M4 MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB $1,699 ($300 off)
M4 MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB $1,499 ($300 off)
Today’s Air is even more than the M4 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, and even more than the models with 24GB with the deals we are tracking right now. You certainly won’t be getting a MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for anywhere near $1,799 – B&H is selling those for $2,399 shipped for the record. But is the extra RAM on the Air better than just scoring a 24GB M4 MacBook Pro with half the storage and a better display for $300 less? For most folks probably not.
The real value for most on the MacBook Air lineup is the dramatically lower prices than the MacBook Pro and that’s where the deals at Amazon are coming in right now – you can land one starting at $799 shipped:
13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $799 (Reg. $999)
13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $999 (Reg. $1,199)
