New M4 MacBook Air Gets $50 Launch Day Discounts at Amazon, Available From $949

Apple's new M4 MacBook Air launches today, and Amazon has launch day discounts worth $50 across nearly every model. You'll need to clip an on-page coupon in order to see these deal prices at checkout, and Best Buy is matching many of these deals if you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member.

13-Inch M4 MacBook Air

Starting with the 13-inch models, Amazon has $50 off all three of the new configurations of this notebook. Prices start at $949.00 for the 256GB model, then raise to $1,149.00 for the 16GB/256GB model and $1,349.00 for the 24GB/512GB model. Best Buy is matching these deals for members.

Note: You won't see the deal price until checkout.




15-Inch M4 MacBook Air

Moving to the larger display models, Amazon has both 512GB versions of the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air on sale for launch day. The 16GB/512GB model is available for $1,349.00 and the 24GB/512GB model is on sale for $1,549.00, both $50 discounts.

Note: You won't see the deal price until checkout.


The only new M4 MacBook Air that Amazon does not have a discount for is the 256GB 15-inch MacBook Air, so if that's the one you're shopping for you'll need to look at Best Buy. At that retailer, My Best Buy Plus/Total members can get the computer for $1,149.00, down from $1,199.00.

Lol. Why even bother buying directly from Apple when Amazon ALWAYS have discounts?
Buying direct from Apple:

1. You can custom order the laptop with the memory, hard drive specs you want.
2. You can use the Apple Card and get 0% financing for 12 months.
3. You can get it today at an Apple Store.
4. You can get the education discount of about 10%.

That is not the regular price. It is the educational price. Don't you need to buy using an "edu" email address with those to get the educational discount?
Yeh in the UK, you have to verify using UniDays at checkout.

And you can get trade-in credit applied immediately to Apple Card no-interest payments, if you have something to trade-in.

Custom configurations I suppose.

Update: for me, the discount on the base 13” 16/256 only applies to midnight and silver. Sky blue and starlight do not show the discount.

Plus, your parcel is not going to be stolen. I don’t by anything expensive at Amazon to this reason.

I’m tempted to trade-in my 15 inch M2 Air because the 256GB of storage is killing me, but I made a resolution to make no unnecessary purchases for the first 6 months of this year. But it’s tempting.
Buy on July 1st to be in harmony with yourself ?
