Looking for your next everyday laptop? Well, there's hardly any reason to wait for Black Friday 2025 to officially kick off now, as Apple's latest M4 MacBook Air lineup has crashed to its lowest-ever price. You can now grab the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 with a $250 discount at Amazon, taking it down to a bargain $749 for what this laptop offers. Even better, if you're after more screen real estate, the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is also down by $250. Whatever the configuration or color (Sky Blue is a stunner), you'll get the biggest discount yet on one of the best laptops around. We've repeated many times that the MacBook Air M4 is the best in the business, so grabbing this powerful machine at its cheapest price yet is a no-brainer for anyone after an upgrade. After testing the 13-inch MacBook Air M4, it became clear that it set the standard as the laptop to beat. We called it the top value laptop, and it's not just because of the (welcome) $100 price cut it received over its last-gen model. The star of the show is the M4 chip, which still delivers some of the best performance you can find on a laptop. We got the MacBook Air M4 benchmarks in, and comparing it to other similarly priced (and much higher) machines, it wiped the floor with the competition. Here's the proof: Generally, for everyday tasks, creative work, photo editing, and even video editing and AAA gaming, the M4 chip in Apple's latest MacBook Air will be able to handle it without breaking a sweat. It's also an incredibly lightweight and slick laptop to carry around, weighing just 2.7 pounds and measuring a very slim 0.44 inches. I wish there were more ports aside from just two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, but that can be easily fixed with the USB-C hub. Another huge perk? Battery life. It lasts nearly 15 hours before needing a recharge, which will take you well past a full day of work, with a little more to use for watching shows once it's quittin' time. Speaking of, the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display offers plenty of brightness and is gorgeous for watching shows on. That's only made better with the 15-inch model if you need a bigger visual appeal. The MacBook Air M4 hasn't been any cheaper than it is right now, and with $250 in savings, it's a price that's hard to ignore with a laptop boasting this type of performance (and style). As a MacBook Air (M3) owner myself, this is the deal I'd jump on right away. The biggest sales event of the year is already shifting into gear, and you can follow our Black Friday 2025 live blog for all the latest deals to save big on.
