The Apple Silicon family has transformed into an exceptional lineup of chipsets, to the point that even if you select an older-generation model, you’re getting an insane ‘price to performance ratio.’ With the introduction of the M5 MacBook Air, which is currently $50 off on Amazon and starts from $1,049, the older M4 MacBook Air has been discounted by a jaw-dropping $320 on the online retailer, making it one of the highest price cuts that we’ve ever seen. However, there’s a catch; the deal is exclusive to just one configuration and one paint job.
With the $220 price drop, the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is available for $1,079 on Amazon
The Midnight variant of the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is up for grabs at 23 percent off, giving you 16GB of unified memory coupled with a 512GB SSD and the same design used by the newer M5 version. Considering that the exact same configuration for the updated 15-inch model is listed for $1,249.99, you get to save $170.99 by choosing the larger M4 MacBook Air. For some, acquiring the best offer is more important, and considering that you are almost getting the same machine, we’d say that it’s an excellent offer.
You get the same number of ports on the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air, the same IPS LCD with that crisp 2,880 x 1,864 resolution, 500 nits brightness, P3 color gamut, and True Tone support. The M4 is absolutely no pushover in the performance department; while it is slightly slower than the M5 in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, it’s more than capable of bulldozing through the most demanding of tasks.
The older MacBook Air also features the same battery life as this year’s release, so not a whole lot of differences exist between the two generations if you were considering the M5 model. However, as mentioned before, the discount is only applicable on one configuration; you can choose to spend those extra dollars and get yourself your favorite finish if that’s what you desire, but these offers aren’t going to last long, especially at the prices that current-generation laptops are going for, thanks to the RAM and storage crisis.
