With the launch of the new MacBook Air models, this M1 device from late 2020 has now been discontinued from Apple's official lineup. Additionally, Apple has discontinued the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air, so we'll likely be tracking last-chance deals on those notebooks soon.

Decent price, but I remember (a few months after this M1 MBA model was first announced) it going on sale at BB (in early 2021) for $750 or thereabouts. 2 years later, getting the same price, isn't that much of a deal.

I also have to believe we'll see M3 MBA 13" for $899 soon, and M2 MBA 13" for $799 or $849 soon (we already see it for $899...). So $749 for M1 MBA just isn't that interesting, IMHO.

Amazon had it at the same price long time ago before it was discontinued. Scrap another $100 bucks and then we are talking!

Still a fine machine (and I do miss the wedge!) but as others here have said, this is essentially now it’s regular price. Costco has had it at $749 more often than not over the past year or two.

Good price and good laptop. But not sure whether to purchase a discontinued model. M2 Air will be available with discounts in a short while.
