Deal | M4 MacBook Air drops back to lowest price ever on Amazon

What may be the best consumer laptop is available for its lowest price ever.

The M4 MacBook Air 13 is back on sale at Amazon for only US$799, matching its all-time low. While the Air was listed at this price during August (for back-to-school shoppers), it popped back up to about $900 at the beginning of this month. Now it's back down to a dollar under $800.

The M4 MacBook Air 13 features Apple's M4 SoC, which is the latest consumer-grade chip from the Cupertino company. In our review, the M4 handily beat the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 found in competing laptops, outscoring the other two in most benchmarks. More impressively, the M4 chip beat its competitors with a lower power draw, pulling roughly half the power as the Core Ultra 7 and Snapdragon X1 Elite on average. 

As such, the M4 MacBook Air 13 continues to offer the same strengths the MacBook Air line has become famous for: excellent performance with high efficiency and outstanding battery life. 

However, it carries over the downsides of Apple's laptops as well. These include limited I/O (only two Thunderbolt 4 ports), a 60 Hz display, and no upgradeability whatsoever. However, these limitations may be worth the stellar performance and battery life for some consumers, especially at this price.
