Apple updated the MacBook Air in November 2020 with the new Apple M1 chip, which has an 8-core CPU, a 7- or 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine for machine learning. These updates brought about improved performance, better battery life, and more. There's also a 256GB model, but we aren't seeing any notable discounts this week.

Amazon also has Apple's 512GB M1 MacBook Pro on sale at $1,299.99, down from $1,499.00. This is a match of the best price we've ever seen on this MacBook Pro, and it'll be applied to your order after you head to the checkout screen. There, Amazon has a $99.01 automatic coupon that will drop the price of the notebook down to the record low deal.

You can find the best monthly deals on all new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebooks in our "Best Deals" guide. Be sure to visit the guide and bookmark it if you're on the hunt for a new Apple notebook; we'll be updating it weekly as we discover new MacBook offers across the web.

I feel bad for anyone buying these, then realizes 8GB of RAM isn't enough for them (which will be most people, but not everyone).

Not the end of the old, but not the best experience for most people. Step up to 16GB and up, then it's a whole new world of productively.

What's the purpose of these secret in-checkout discounts? Is it so that places like BestBuy don't have to price match since the price on the product page is different?

That's more than enough for the average office worker or student.
Son has the base Air and it out performs his Win HP laptop.

I'm probably going to make the switch to a Mac myself
