Looking for the perfect laptop upgrade or gift this Thanksgiving? The M4 MacBook Air is back at its all‑time low, saving you $250. It’s sleek, powerful, and now more affordable, making this deal is one of the season’s biggest highlights.
If you’re on the fence about buying a new MacBook for yourself or as a gift for a loved one this Black Friday, you’re in luck. The M4 MacBook Air has just dropped back to its record low of $749 at Amazon and Best Buy.
That’s a savings of $250 (25%) on the 13‑inch model, which is the biggest price cut we’ve seen in over a month. The same discount applies to the 15‑inch version, now down to $949 from $1,199. Even better, the deal covers all colorways of Apple’s latest laptop.
Who Is the Apple M4 MacBook Air For?
Launched in March this year, the new M4 MacBook Air (review) is a smart alternative to the pricier MacBook Pro or bulkier Windows laptops. It’s a versatile choice for most users, including students, especially since it starts at a lower price than before.
Like previous generations, the M4 Air is sleek and lightweight, but don’t let its slim profile fool you. The new chip packs serious power with a 10‑core CPU, 9‑core GPU, and hardware‑accelerated ray tracing. It’s more than capable of handling demanding tasks like video editing and AAA gaming.
AI‑based workloads also run faster and smoother, all while keeping cool and delivering Apple’s rated 18‑hour battery life.

Connectivity remains limited to two USB‑C Thunderbolt ports, but the M4 Air adds support for two external displays without closing the lid, which is a big win for creators and multitaskers. Apple also upgraded the camera to 12MP with Center Stage, a first for the MacBook Air lineup, and improved the microphones for clearer calls.
The Liquid Retina display is unchanged, but it’s still one of the best panels you’ll find under $1,000. Images look sharp, colors are vibrant and accurate, and the typing experience on the excellent keyboard paired with the large Force Touch trackpad is a joy.
