The Apple MacBook Air M1 is a great deal at just $599, but we believe most of you should upgrade to the M2 mode's current offer.

Thanks to an exclusive arrangement with Apple, Walmart sells factory-new versions of the M1 MacBook Air priced at just $599. That’s way less than we’ve seen newer MacBook Air models priced at Amazon and elsewhere, even during their Prime Day lows.

Walmart is now discounting the 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 even further, allowing you to get this Apple Intelligence-ready laptop for just $599.99 (originally $699.99). This is a crazy discount on an already discounted laptop and the lowest price we've tracked. When my colleague Lance Ulanoff wrote about it in March, it was only $699.99.

The M1 MacBook Air may be 4 years old, but we still love its retro good looks. And at this price, is worth real consideration even as a secondary backup laptop: Walmart is selling the M1 MacBook Air in silver, space gray, or gold for $599, a savings of $400 off the original MSRP and the best price we’ve ever seen for any Apple laptop.

Having the very latest MacBook is all well and good, but it can cost you. Yes, you can save a packet if you shop the best Black Friday MacBook deals, but if you’re not bothered about having one of the latest M3 or M4 processors,

Save big on a new MacBook Air during Black Friday, complete with an advanced M3 chip and ample storage space for all your favorite things.
