The first major discount is now set on Apple’s M4 MacBook Air lineup, and if you want portability coupled with incredible horsepower, you will be happy to know that the latest $100 price cut has been applied to the 13-inch version. The discount on Amazon is currently only applied to the Midnight finish, and while this color might not be everyone’s favorite due to the existence of the Sky Blue option, when you have an attractive offer like this, you tend to forget about some preferences.
The M4 MacBook Air gets a massive performance uplift thanks to the chipset upgrade, but pretty much everything else about the portable Mac remains the same when comparing it to the past few generations, which is completely fine because it follows the popular idiom ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ You get a solid piece of construction coupled with that large trackpad. The 16GB unified RAM paired with a 512GB SSD is definitely the sweet spot because you now have to worry less when installing and deleting programs from the local storage.
Of course, we all know that you are eyeing the M4 MacBook Air because of its exceptional battery life, and thanks to the Apple Silicon transition, you can experience up to a whopping 18 hours of runtime on a single charge. That amount of time is sufficient to make you forget about the charger at home. For connectivity, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging input, a 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3.
For extra productivity, the M4 MacBook Air can support up to two external monitors, with the machine’s own display acting as a third panel. We doubt this discount will remain active for long because $100 off on an impressive configuration for the M4 MacBook Air means that this particular model will probably run out of stock quickly, so you should hurry.
Update: The price of the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air in the Midnight color has increased to $1,169, but the Sky Blue and Starlight finishes are available at lower prices in the 16GB unified RAM and 512GB storage configurations. Both versions are currently available for $1,149.
