Apple M1 MacBook Air With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Storage ($799, originally $999)
The average discount that we’ve seen on the M1 MacBook Air is $100 off, but Amazon’s (AMZN) – Get Amazon.com Inc. Report doubled the savings to $200 for the Prime Early Access event, now through Oct. 12.
You can pick from Space Gray, silver or gold colors. The M1 Air features a wedged design and is portable enough to be brought anywhere.
Unlike MacBook Air’s with an Intel chip inside, this one doesn’t have a fan. The M1 Chip can handle intense and more everyday tasks alike, and it stretches the battery life to up to 18 hours. In our testing, it can last for close to a week on standby as well.
