If you've been eyeing Apple's new MacBook Air with the M4 chip, now's a good
time to scoop one up. The 13-inch model (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is over $100
off its usual starting price of $999 in a Memorial Day sale on Amazon ΓÇö and
a coupon available for three of the four colors brings the price down even
further to $850. That applies to the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air in Midnight,
Silver and Sky Blue. The Starlight variant is on sale too, but with no
additional coupon, making it $899.

Models with higher storage options are on sale too, also with savings of more
than $100 and a coupon for certain colors. The model with 16GB of RAM and a
512GB SSD is down to around $1,050 from its usual $1,199, while the version
above that (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is around $1,250 compared to the normal
$1,399 price tag. The prices are unbeatable for the laptop that's only been
out for a few months, and is our pick for the best MacBook you can get in
2025.

The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 was released in March and scored a 92 in our
review. Engadget's Devindra Hardawar called it "a nearly flawless
ultraportable," especially with a starting price that's lower than what we've
seen in earlier models. It weighs just 2.7 pounds and measures 0.44 inches
thick, but is a fast and capable laptop with a bright display and impressive
battery life. In Engadget's tests, the 13-inch MacBook Air lasted for more
than 18 hours with HD video running.

Even the base model should be fine for most users, with a 10-core CPU, 8-core
GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. As Devindra noted in his review, this year's
13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs are "zippy, wonderfully light and can last well
beyond a full day of work."
