Save $250 with this Apple MacBook Air deal – grab it while it lasts

If you’ve been holding off on a laptop upgrade for potential Black Friday sales, I have some great news for you: Apple‘s price cuts just went live, and you can get a 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) for just $949 (was $1,199). That’s a significant discount on a laptop lineup that’s typically only held back by its asking price.

And it’s the laptop I wholeheartedly recommend for college students and remote workers. Not only is that M4 Apple Silicon incredibly performant, but the 15-inch Liquid Retina display is the perfect place to watch some shows or indulge in a bit of light Mac gaming when it’s time for R&R. So don’t wait – snap up this deal before it’s gone!

Our Managing Editor, Core Tech Matt Hanson, awarded the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) 4.5 out of 5 stars, and with a review title like “the best 15-inch laptop just got better,” you know this is a phenomenal laptop.

The star of the show here, besides the MacBook Air’s petite 3.3-lb (1.51kg) design, is the Apple Silicon chip inside. The M4 processor is an absolute powerhouse that has no business living inside such a small, lightweight chassis. And yet, there it sits, ready to power your everyday computing tasks with ease.

It also lasts 15 hours on a single full charge, so you can get through two full workdays even if you forget to plug in at night.

At under $1,000, the Windows alternatives that offer comparable performance and design polish are far and few between. So if you’ve been on the hunt for a new everyday laptop, I’d seriously consider the MacBook Air with its current Black Friday discount.
