The spectacularly fast 256GB M1 MacBook Air has just hit rock bottom

by

Apple’s new M1 MacBook Air is a great machine at a great price, but today’s deal practically makes it an impulse buy. Amazon is selling the 256 GB M1 MacBook Air for $ 929, $ 70 off the MSRP and a new low mark price. The only caveat is that this price is only available in the gold model.

This version of the MacBook Air has a 13.3-inch Retina display, 256 GB onboard storage and 8 GB RAM. It also has a FaceTime camera for video calling, two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. We rated this MacBook Air in November, giving it 4.5 stars and an Editors’ Choice Award, calling it “an absolutely stunning debut for Apple silicon in a Mac”.

The star of the show, of course, is the M1 chip with an 8-core processor with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. A 7-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. We found this chip performs really well in emulation mode to run programs built for Intel Macs, but if you’re using native software, it just hums.

So if you’re looking for an excellent laptop with a lot of speed and a little bit of bling, this is the deal you need.
