If you want to get your hands on a MacBook and don't want to pay the earth, this deal is absolutely for you. Amazon is selling the MacBook Air M1 2020 for $749, a good $250 cheaper than normal.
It's a superb laptop with an eye-catching retina screen that has enough power to handle most tasks. It's gorgeous to look at, easy to use, and, while it's a few years old now, it's still a great machine.
It's extremely tempting at its $999 MSRP, but at $749 it's an absolute steal. If you want a bite of the Apple, we recommend you grab this while you can.
Key features: M1 Chip, 13" Retina Display, 8b GB RAM, 256 GB SSD Storage, Backlit Keyboard, FaceTime HD Camera, 15 hours battery life.
Product launched: November 2020.
Price history: Before this deal, Amazon's price for the M1 has hovered around the $875 mark, briefly dipping as low as $800. However, it's never dropped as low as $749.99 and we doubt you're going to see a better deal than this.
Price comparison: Apple: $999| Best Buy: $749.99
Reviews consensus: We remarked that although it was in need of a redesign, "The MacBook Air M1 is the cheapest way to get an Apple laptop, and offers a huge power jump over its predecessor." It's also great for students and has an impressive battery life. It's not cutting edge, but it has an awful lot to offer, especially at this price.
