The Apple MacBook Air M4 laptop is on sale again for just $799, which is quite a deal. This sale is for the model with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. It is available in several colors.
We ranked it as our favorite Apple laptop in our list of the best MacBook computers. Heck, it’s even our favorite laptop. Complete shutdown. Performance is exceptionally snappy, thanks to the M4 chip. We appreciated the improved battery life, which now lasts around 18 hours per charge. That’s well beyond a full day’s work.

The design is lightweight but sturdy. This has become a feature of modern MacBook Air computers. The screen is both gorgeous and spacious, even though it’s technically only a 13-inch panel. P3 wide color gamut is supported and can reach up to 500 nits of brightness.
This is a near-perfect laptop, but there are a few flaws. There’s no USB-C port on the right side, which limits how users can arrange accessories on a desk. Additionally, the screen is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. Another potential complication is the looming specter of the M5 chip. The company has already launched the M5 MacBook Pro, so a new MacBook Air is expected to arrive in the near future.
If you need more screen real estate, you’ll also get a similar discount on the 15-inch MacBook Air at Amazon. Most color options are $200 off and up to $999 for the base model.
