Apple’s entry-level M1 MacBook Air falls one of its lowest prices yet at $960

Authorized retailer Expercom via Amazon offers the Apple M1 13-inch MacBook Air 256GB for *$959.93 shipped* in Silver and Gold. Down from its usual $999 going rate, today’s offer is only the third overall discount on the entry-level model, comes within $10 of our previous mention, and amounts to $39 in savings. Apple’s new MacBook Air packs a familiar 13-inch design but with completely overhauled internals that deliver stellar battery life and notable performance gains despite a fan-less build. On top of 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports here as well as Apple’s Magic Keyboard and upwards of 18-hour battery life.
