It is a miracle that the 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air remains discounted on Amazon, whereas the price of consumer electronics is slowly rising because the DRAM supply has been choked, causing a serious supply and demand problem. However, don’t think that Apple is immune to these shortages because the company’s portable Mac lineup is slowly becoming more expensive, meaning that you’ll have to either pay the full price or a substantial premium if you don’t act fast. Fortunately, some configurations and colors continue to be available at $150 off for both display sizes, starting from $849.99.
The Midnight color of both the 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is the only one where all configurations are $150 off
It will be confusing when you open Amazon right now to select your M4 MacBook Air of choice, along with the color. In short, with the exception of the Midnight paint job, every other version is going through a price fluctuation, so if picking a color is the least of your worries, we recommend going for the models that offer the biggest price cuts. It is worth noting that the delivery time is estimated for February 13 for a few versions, so there’s not much waiting required from your end.
Assuming you want that extra screen real estate, the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is going to be your new best friend, and, as mentioned above, the Midnight color has been discounted for all configurations. Previously, we mentioned that the 16GB RAM and 512GB variants were the ‘sweet spot,’ but ever since the DRAM shortage kicked in, we want buyers to futureproof themselves, even if it means spending more upfront.
This is why, for those who believe for even a split second that 16GB of unified memory won’t be sufficient, the 24GB RAM configuration will come in real handy. As for everything else, the M4 MacBook Air offers a solid chipset upgrade with incredible single-core and multi-core performance. Best of all, these machines are built to last thanks to the unibody aluminum chassis and fine-tuned hinges.
If you don’t believe us, an M5 MacBook Pro owner accidentally ran his car over his portable Mac, and it only received minor scratches. Had it been any other laptop, it would likely have been in multiple pieces.
