M1 MacBook Air falls to $749.99 in this surprising New Year sale

The M1 MacBook Air was first released back in 2020, but it’s still one of Apple’s most popular laptop models to this day. Why? It’s sleek and slim, of course, but it also packs tons of power into that slender aluminum enclosure. And right now, there’s a lingering M1 MacBook Air deal that slashes Apple’s cheapest laptop all the way down to its lowest price ever.

At $999, the M1 MacBook Air is the only Apple laptop with a starting price under $1,000, albeit by a very slim margin. Right now, however, there’s a $249 discount that slashes the Apple M1 MacBook Air to just $749.99 at Amazon and at Best Buy as well. That matches the lowest price ever for this model, and it’s a steal considering how impressive this computer is.
