SAVE $350: As of July 9, the 13-inch MacBook Air (M1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is on sale for $649 at Walmart. That's $50 cheaper than the previous lowest price of $699.
Apple's MacBook Air is Mashable's pick for the best laptop for most people, so it's a trusted choice if you're looking to upgrade. The M1 MacBook Air may be a bit older, but it's still got plenty of power and is a great option for those looking for a laptop on a budget — especially for the all-time low price you can get today at Walmart.
As of July 9, you can get the 13-inch MacBook Air (M1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) at Walmart for just $649, down from $699. This $649 deal is the lowest price we've seen on this model, giving a $50 discount compared to its price on Best Buy. The deal pricing (part of Walmart Deals, Walmart's Prime Day-competing sale going on now) is available across all three colors: Gold, Silver, and Space Gray.
Walmart started offering the M1 MacBook Air for the first time earlier this year, soon after the new M3 MacBook Air launched. The M1 MacBook Air is a couple of generations old, but this 2020 model with a 13.3-inch Liquid Retina screen still packs quite a punch. It comes in a slim design combined with ample processing power, and it's very portable as well, with a low-profile body and a weight of just 2.8 pounds.
The M1 is Apple's first chip for MacBooks, and it performs better than most previous Intel chips used in MacBooks of yore, and consumes little battery — this model promises up to 18 hours of use on a single charge. The version on discount is an 8GB RAM model, which will get the job done unless you have a very heavy workflow.
If you need a great laptop on a budget, especially for the day-to-day Zoom meetings and working through documents and sheets, this MacBook Air is the laptop to get right now. It offers great value for money, especially at this new low price. MacBook deals generally run out quickly, so you may want to snag this one while it's available.
