Even with a new M2 model at $999 and an M3 model at just $1,099, the M1 MacBook Air is still a fantastic laptop. Especially when it’s incredibly low priced: Walmart is selling the M1 MacBook Air with 256GB of storage in silver, gold, or space gray for $699, a savings of $300 and the best price we’ve ever seen.
This MacBook Air features the classic wedge design with the original M1 processor (8-core CPU/7-core GPU), and it still performs incredibly well for everyday tasks like email and web browsing. You’ll get the quiet Air design with a beautiful 13.2-inch Retina display, a pair of Thunderbolt ports, and a fantastic Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. In our 2020 review, we praised the M1 Air’s performance and it will still be more than capable of running macOS 15 when it arrives this fall.
We’ve never seen a non-refurbished model priced this low and we’re not sure how long it’ll be available while stock lasts, so go ahead and buy one now if you’re looking for a fantastic laptop on a low budget.
