Apple’s M1 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops to buy — and for good reason. It’s travel-friendly, stylish, crazy fast, and lasts all day long. On this Green Monday, you can get the M1 MacBook Air for $799 (opens in new tab) at Best Buy. That’s $200 off its regular price and the MacBook Air’s lowest price of the year. This is one of the best MacBook deals you can get today. If you’re holiday gift shopping for a laptop, chances are the MacBook Air on someone’s wish list. The base model MacBook Air packs a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600) IPS Retina display, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of fast SSD storage. In our MacBook Air with M1 review, we were floored by its breathtaking performance and slim, unibody design. It also blew us away in terms of battery performance —lasting 14 hours and 41 minutes during testing. The MacBook Air M1 garnered a 4.5 out of 5-star rating and the Editor’s Choice award. During testing, the M1 chip scoffed when we loaded 25 tabs on Google Chrome, four of which played YouTube videos while another pair streamed on Twitch. And when we tried the same workload on Safari, which runs natively, everything loaded instantly — photos, graphics and text blinked onto the screen the moment we pressed Return. At 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches and 2.8 pounds, the M1 MacBook Air is right up there with its 13-inch competitors. It’s on par with the Dell XPS 13 (11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches, 2.8 pounds), and 13.5-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (12.1 x 8.8 x 0.6 inches, 2.9 pounds). For your connectivity needs, the MacBook Air affords you two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. MacBook deals are only as good as stock permits, so don’t hesitate too long.
