Both models are available in all three colors, and these sales represent the best discounts that we've ever tracked for the new 2020 MacBook Air.

These models were updated in March of this year with a new Magic Keyboard with scissor switches, faster processors, more storage space, and a reduced starting price tag of $999.00 for the 256GB model. Both models feature a 13-inch Retina display, slim black bezels, and a Force Touch trackpad. Apple offers the MacBook Air in Space Gray, Silver, and Gold.

Is it worth it tho? ?
That's a loaded question... if you're talking about raw specs for the price, they're most certainly not worth the price compared to some other Windows PCs that aren't as slim, especially if you need more than base specs.

The 1.1GHz Core i5 in the MacBook Air is still beat by a used Core i7 MacBook Pro from 2013, and you can still upgrade the SSD in that model.

The only thing is Apple will likely drop support for macOS after big sur to make people buy a new mac.
