Best M4 MacBook Air deal: Select models are $200 off on Amazon

SAVE UP TO 14%: Select configurations of the Apple MacBook Air (M4) are on sale on Amazon for $200 off as of Jan. 21, with prices starting at $1,199 (normally $1,399). Each variant comes with at least 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Amazon puts latest M4 MacBook Airs on sale for $200 off so often, Apple might as well edit their MSRPs. Indeed, data from the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel shows that every configuration was enjoying that discount since the start of the year, up until earlier this week. However, only a few upper-end variants are still holding onto it at the time of writing.

This isn't a sign to panic yet, but the ongoing RAM shortage makes one wonder if sizable discounts on the cheapest base models are going to be rarities going forward. (They're currently just $100 off; Mashable's deals team will be watching them closely.) Regardless, it's never a bad idea to splurge on some extra memory and storage for future-proofing's sake if your budget allows.

As of Jan. 21, Amazon's $200 discount is still live for the following sizes, colors, and configurations:

• 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in midnight and silver — $1,199 $1,399 (save $200)

• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in silver — $1,199 $1,399 (save $200)

• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in midnight and silver — $1,399 $1,599 (save $200)

Amazon's deals weren't matched anywhere else the last time I checked — including Best Buy, which usually gives the retail giant some competition. All of the aforementioned configurations were still full price there.

I'd steer most people towards the 15-inch model, which has two extra speakers and a GPU with two extra cores (read: it's a little bit better at handling heavier workloads). However, students and those who prioritize portability will be served well by the 13-inch version. Check out my complete guide to the best MacBooks for 2026 buyers if you need more intel.
