Why You Can Trust CNET Save 25% Off Apple's M1 13-Inch MacBook Air Laptop
The M1 MacBook Air is great for taking on trips, working away from the office or taking into lectures, and right now it's a bargain, with 25% off.
The iconic MacBook Air is now available for a steal at just $749, with Amazon offering it at its best price yet. That's 25% ($250) off the original asking price and you even get to choose from three gorgeous colors -- pick from gold, space gray or silver.
This M1 MacBook Air is among the best college laptops you can buy, especially if you need to run MacOS and don't want to spend MacBook Pro money. It has everything you need for typing away in lectures, at the coffee shop and anywhere else for that matter. It's fast and light, and offers frankly ridiculous battery life at a price you can't beat.
Apple says that you can go all day on a single charge, assuming you get at least six hours of sleep in: It's rated for 18 hours, and that's surely more than enough for the vast majority of people out there.
In terms of specifications, that Apple-designed M1 chip is fast and cool, and it's backed up by 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive for storage. Touch ID is included for authentication and payments via Apple Pay, and the backlit keyboard is as good as any of the competition when it comes to typing feel. You get that 13.3-inch Retina display as well, so your apps and games will look great.
Note that we don't have any indication from Amazon as to when this price might change again, so bear that in mind when plotting your purchase.
