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 — 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."
