The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an M1 chip is a little old now but it’s still one of the best laptops ever made – and Best Buy has it for a record-low price. OurMacBook Air M1 reviewawarded the device 4.5 stars out of five, and we particularly praised this premium device for its speed, responsiveness, beautiful design, and long-lasting battery life.
With an impressive 4.5 stars inour review, the laptop continues to power through recent applications, and supportsmacOS Sonoma(the latest version of Apple’soperating system). The M1 MacBook Air also maintains that sleek and premium design you’ve come to expect from modern Apple laptops, surpassing many of thebest Windows 11 laptopsin look and performance to this day. Oh, and its battery life is also fantastic.
Apple normally doesn’t sell older models once they’ve had a few updates, but the MacBook Air (M1)’s popularity is why you’ll find it still on sale and with tempting price cuts like this one. For $749.99, you’ll be getting an excellent laptop that’ll eat through most daily tasks you throw at it, while being lightweight and portable enough to work on wherever you go.
We can’t recommend this deal enough, especially if you’ve been holding out to upgrade from a Windows laptop to a MacBook, or have just been waiting for the right price cut to sway you.
