Amazon Prime Day is set for July 8 to 11, and as Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm tasked with hunting down the best Apple MacBook deals. My job is going to be really easy this year: Amazon has been busy discounting the M4 series pretty much since launch.

That said, I'm currently recommending that most shoppers wait to buy a MacBook until Prime Day officially starts — with one notable exception. Yes, every single Air and Pro model is on sale on Amazon right now, but they're not quite at record-low prices yet. Put another way: I know we can do even better.

The one exception here is the base configuration of the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air, which is marked down to just $849 as of early July. That's a really great price that I feel comfortable endorsing, even though this model has technically been cheaper once before. (The Starlight colorway briefly fell to $829 on June 20.) With incredible performance, open-lid support for two displays, and an upgraded 12MP webcam, the M4 MacBook Air is realistically a steal even at its standard MSRP of $999. Amazon's decision to slash that by an extra $150 mere months after its release is kind of mind-boggling to me.

I also want to mention that Amazon only carries the M4 series nowadays. (You might encounter listings for older models, but they come from third-party sellers you should avoid.) If you want a good deal on an M2- or M3-era MacBook, check Best Buy, which is having a "Black Friday in July" sale now through July 13. I'll also be monitoring its prices closely during that event in case it one-ups Amazon's M4 Prime Day offers.

Mashable Deals

Mashable's Stan Schroeder called the latest MacBook Air "the best-buy Apple laptop, period," praising its quiet oomph, upgraded camera, "great" battery life, and extremely reasonable starting price (which, again, Amazon has reduced by 15%). In his view, its only flaws are a "low number of ports and the fact that the display's refresh rate only goes to 60Hz." The base model sports 16GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage.

At the time of writing, every colorway is discounted to $849. If you know this is the laptop you want and are worried about missing out, go ahead and add this to your cart.
