Discover the Prime Deal: MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip at Just $799 in October’s Exclusive Prime Event - Insights

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air (M1, 2020) may not be the latest and greatest from Apple, but it remains one of the most reliable and efficient laptops that money can buy for under $1,000. It’s also one of the lightest.

During Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale – otherwise known as ‘Prime Day 2’ – the M1 MacBook sees a massive $200 price cut , dropping the initial asking price down to just $799. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen for the two-year-old device, beating its previous Black Friday, Prime Day, and holiday deals.

Had the pandemic not forced me to stay home, I probably would’ve snagged the MacBook Air M1 two years ago. It was one of the first devices to feature Apple’s M1 chipset, and benchmark tests proved that the lightweight MacBook could throw down against heavyweight, Intel-based computers – including Apple’s own MacBook Pro. For such a huge gap in performance, speed, and efficiency, it was hard to believe that Apple was selling the laptop for just $999.

At $799, the MacBook Air M1 is a no-brainer. It comes with a decent-sized 13-inch display, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. All three colors fall under the $200 discount, and if you’re not a fan of the notched display on the newer MacBooks, you’ll be well off with any version of the 2020 MacBook Air.
