With these sales, the base M1 MacBook Air for $849 is becoming one of the best values in tech. I have the 2020 i3 base MBA, and it has been a great laptop for me. I look forward to seeing what Apple does with the MBA in 2022.

Congrats on a great deal. For the last 10 years or so, I have purchased MBA for my kids, my relatives, and myself. It is the go to computer for most of our family needs. My kids used them through middle school, high school and college. We often get 7+ years hard usage (schlepped around campus in backpacks) from these workhorses. Great value!
