The price cut is going to sting for those who purchased the M3 MacBook Air in the last 12 months, but for everyone else, this is a win.

Apple rarely offers you more for less, especially in its most popular products with the broadest appeal. It has perfected the measured, iterative year-over-year product cycle. But for the 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Airs, Apple has put new chips in its established design while shoring up the device’s biggest flaws and dropping the price by $100.

The Apple MacBook Air M4 is a fast, quality productivity machine and it now starts at its lowest base price. I just wish it were more blue.
