Apple 2020 MacBook Air Laptop M1 ChipSave 25% with this Amazon laptop deal. $749.99 at Amazon (Save $249.01)

There's a lot to love in a MacBook Air from its exceptionally crisp Retina display with gorgeous wide-gamut color, to super low latency, to an inherently user-friendly design interface. Apple's M1 chip became famous at its launch, and even today, when the M2 and M2-Pro chips have become standard in more recent generations, the M1 still makes for silky smooth computing with enough power for all but pro users. We stand by both M1 and M2 chips and think either will serve most users well.
