Early Black Friday MacBook Air deals are appearing across the internet ... some retailers are still selling the M1 model from 2020. Apple also recently made a big change to the cheapest models ...
but Apple has shipped multiple MacBookAir models in a single year (the last time was in 2020), so it's not out of the question—especially with the Apple M4 chip already out in the wild ...
That, my friends, is what I call a value. Apple launched the M1 MacBookAir back in November of 2020. An efficient, high-performing machine, the $999 price tag made it the laptop to beat.
The obvious point of difference is in the chipset. Apple introduced the first M-Series chipsets on the MacBookAir in 2020, cutting ties with the Intel-based hardware used for over a decade.
