Apple’s M4 MacBook Air Hits Record-Low Price of $749 in Stunning Amazon Deal

If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your laptop, this is it. As of Dec. 22, Amazon has slashed the price of Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD to just $749. That's a massive $250 discount off its regular $999 price, marking a 25% price cut and the lowest price we've ever tracked for this powerful model.

While the holiday gift-giving rush may be over, this deal presents a perfect opportunity to treat yourself. The only catch, according to the retailer, is that it won't arrive before Christmas. However, for a discount this steep on Apple's latest hardware, a post-holiday delivery is a small price to pay.

The M4 MacBook Air is engineered for both power and portability. It fully supports Apple Intelligence, the company's suite of AI features, and offers up to 18 hours of battery life. The machine has earned high praise, with Mashable’s Senior Editor, Stan Schroeder, calling it "absolutely" worth buying. In his review, he lauded its affordability and speed, noting that the MacBook Air "put my 16-inch MacBook Pro to shame in so many ways that I'm wondering if I should just switch to the Air the next time around."

PRISM Insight: This aggressive, record-low pricing on a current-generation flagship product is a significant strategic move from Apple. It suggests a push to capture maximum market share ahead of an expected wave of new AI PCs from competitors in 2026. This could also signal a faster maturation of the M4 product cycle, potentially hinting at an earlier-than-expected refresh next year.
