Because the only reason for me to buy a MacBook is to be synced in Apple’s ecosystem (texts, notes, reminders etc). I am very happy with Windows 11.
Hey… they found him! The guy who’s happy with Windows 11! ?

At $699 no doubt it is a great deal. It will get one year less software than the newest models but it still will get many more years of updates. Definitely it is a deal to consider. Cannot go wrong by purchasing this one.
This machine only came out last year so you could reasonably expect software updates until 2030 (give or take a year) and security updates for 2 years after. A 5-7 year lifespan for a comparatively low end laptop is pretty good to be honest.

heck of a deal, unless you really need true dual monitor support this is a no brainer.

If $699 for a 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16/256 and $899 for a 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16/512 are considered a no brainer, then what is $749 for a 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16/256 and $949 for a 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16/512 ($50 more each) considered?

That's what the prices will be during Apple's Back-to-School sale when you account for the $150 Apple Gift Card ('https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/20/apple-back-to-schoo-promotion-launches/').

Best Buy's probably running this sale because they don't want to be stuck with old M3 MacBook Air's when M4's are only $50 more after the $150 Apple gift card.

It's getting harder to justify buying refurbs when off-the-shelf configs have sale prices like these, even though I'm a big fan of Apple refurbs.

For anyone that can shop of the AAFES or Military exchange, they have been having really good deals on Apple products, such as $250 off the M4 MacBook Air deals off and on for the last few weeks.

I signed up for a MilStar CC for an additional 10% off the first purchase, and was able to get my wife the base model M4 15" MBA for only $854.10, so $344.90 off retail.

The 13" had the same $250 off, so with a MilStar card sign up, you could get a new 13" M4 MacBook Air for only $674.10.

The deal is gone now, but most likely will be back soon, so be on the look out. Might be before then, but maybe the 4th of July holiday.
