We often call the MacBook Air the most universally useful laptop you can buy. The latest version replaces Intel processors with Apple’s M1 chip, but it will be a seamless transition for most. After all, MacBook Air users generally want a sleek, reasonably priced machine that works. The system is also finally truly fanless, replacing the cooling fans with an aluminum heat sink inside, while taking advantage of the highly efficient M1 chip. For a base price of $ 999, and often on sale, it’s great value, considering these tank-shaped laptops can last for years. Right now, you can get it for $ 200 off. Need more storage space? The 512GB version is also $ 200 off.
