Ahead of Black Friday, you can snag the base 13-inch M4-powered MacBook Air for $749.99 ($250 off) in multiple colors at <a rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DZD91W4F\/?th=1&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>. That\u2019s the lowest price we\u2019ve seen on Apple\u2019s slim laptop, letting you save more than ever for the holidays. Additionally, the 15-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip is down to $949.99 ($250 off) at <a rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2025-MacBook-15-inch-Laptop\/dp\/B0DZDB168B?th=1&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> in multiple colors, another all-time low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Apple\u2019s entry-level MacBook Air is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/627186\/apple-macbook-air-m4-13-15-inch-2025-laptop-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fantastic value at full price<\/a>, offering an impressive combination of performance and battery life. It\u2019s also cheaper and more capable than its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24114684\/apple-macbook-air-m3-13-15-inch-2024-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">predecessor<\/a>, delivering faster performance courtesy of Apple\u2019s M4 chip. It also boasts double the base RAM at 16GB, so you can run Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/apple-mac-os\/777936\/apple-macos-tahoe-26-final-release-testing-impressions-liquid-glass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">latest macOS 26 update<\/a> and Apple Intelligence features without experiencing slowdown. Plus, it features an upgraded 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam, which produces a sharper image and a wider field of view. I\u2019ve been rocking a company-issued 13-inch M4 Air model for the past several months, and I have yet to see it break a sweat. It\u2019s easy to see why we consider it to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/21250695\/best-laptops\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best laptop available<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Luckily, the sale applies to multiple colors, so you can opt for the classic silver or gold instead of the dark blue color, which is a fingerprint magnet. Whichever one you pick up, it\u2019ll offer all-day battery life, a Thunderbolt 4 upgrade for the two ports, and the ability to connect two external displays with the lid still open. If you prefer the 15-inch Air\u2019s larger display, you\u2019ll also enjoy the benefits of the model\u2019s six-speaker system over the 13-inch model\u2019s four speakers. However, both sizes are limited to two Thunderbolt 4 \/ USB-C ports and a base storage capacity of 256GB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve been holding off on getting a new laptop, now\u2019s a great time to pick one up.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1572,49,48,1639,195,17786,64,61],"class_list":["post-264528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-apple","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-deals","tag-gadgets","tag-laptops","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
