Apple MacBooks have been on sale all year at Amazon. Over the last few months, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air has come down in price on a regular basis, reaching the all-time low of just $799. With Black Friday fast approaching (yep, it's that time of year again), we're hoping for an even better discount.
Why we love the MacBook Air
The MacBook Air has always offered a sleek design, perfect for working on the go, and this latest model is no different. Weighing just 2.7 pounds, the 13-inch version is super lightweight and portable. And it comes in four signature Apple colors: starlight, sky blue, silver, and midnight. It starts with 16GB of memory and has SSD options ranging from 256GB to 2TB, so it's even suited for heavy storage needs.
The current MacBook Air is powered by Apple's M4 chip, so it's faster than previous models. This really comes into its own when you're working across different apps, multitasking through multiple tabs, or editing lengthy videos.
Display wise, the M4 MacBook Air is stellar. It has a bright Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2560 x 1664 pixels and support for 1 billion colors, so everything looks sharp and vibrant. The 12MP camera with Center Stage is impressive, too, and ensures you always look your best on video calls, automatically keeping you in the center frame. This goes hand in hand with the three studio-quality mics and four speakers with Spatial Audio, so you get a really professional sound at all times. (If you want even better audio quality, upgrade to the 15-inch model, which has six speakers.)
The M4 MacBook Air comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging port, and a headphone jack. Plus, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 will make sure you're getting fast, reliable wireless connections. And if you like to extend your screen setup, open-lid support for up to two external displays means you can easily expand. And it has an incredible all-day battery life, promising to last up to 18 hours.
Product integration is a big plus for Apple, and if you're already deep in the eco-system, this MacBook will fit in seamlessly, especially with your iPhone. With Mirroring, you'll be able to control your iPhone directly from your laptop, reply to messages, and use apps. You can even copy text, images, or files on your iPhone and instantly paste them on your Mac, answer FaceTime calls, and send texts straight from your laptop. My favorite feature is being able to share a web page directly from my phone to Mac, handy for filling out forms or tasks that need a bigger screen.
Black Friday deal we hope to see on the MacBook Air M4
The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air M4 has been priced as low at $799 in 2025, but we think Black Friday can do better. Based on recent pricing during October Prime Day, we hope to see this model hit $799 at the very least. If you do see this record-low price (or better), we recommend jumping on the deal and not looking back.
