New M4 MacBook Air Gets $50 Launch Day Discounts at Amazon, Available From $949

Apple's new M4 MacBook Air launches today, and Amazon has launch day discounts worth $50 across nearly every model. You'll need to clip an on-page coupon in order to see these deal prices at checkout, and Best Buy is matching many of these deals if you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member.

M4 MacBook Air 13 and 15 inch Feature Pink and TealNote: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Amazon and Best Buy. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

13-Inch M4 MacBook Air

Starting with the 13-inch models, Amazon has $50 off all three of the new configurations of this notebook. Prices start at $949.00 for the 256GB model, then raise to $1,149.00 for the 16GB/256GB model and $1,349.00 for the 24GB/512GB model. Best Buy is matching these deals for members.

Note: You won't see the deal price until checkout.




15-Inch M4 MacBook Air

Moving to the larger display models, Amazon has both 512GB versions of the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air on sale for launch day. The 16GB/512GB model is available for $1,349.00 and the 24GB/512GB model is on sale for $1,549.00, both $50 discounts.

Note: You won't see the deal price until checkout.


The only new M4 MacBook Air that Amazon does not have a discount for is the 256GB 15-inch MacBook Air, so if that's the one you're shopping for you'll need to look at Best Buy. At that retailer, My Best Buy Plus/Total members can get the computer for $1,149.00, down from $1,199.00.

Lol. Why even bother buying directly from Apple when Amazon ALWAYS have discounts?
Buying direct from Apple:

1. You can custom order the laptop with the memory, hard drive specs you want.
2. You can use the Apple Card and get 0% financing for 12 months.
3. You can get it today at an Apple Store.
4. You can get the education discount of about 10%.

And you can get trade-in credit applied immediately to Apple Card no-interest payments, if you have something to trade-in.

That is not the regular price. It is the educational price. Don't you need to buy using an "edu" email address with those to get the educational discount?
Yeh in the UK, you have to verify using UniDays at checkout.

Custom configurations I suppose.

Update: for me, the discount on the base 13” 16/256 only applies to midnight and silver. Sky blue and starlight do not show the discount.

Read the edu rules. You can be charged up any moment Apple decides to check if you're eligible.
interesting. Been doing it for years. never charged. I know Apple did start checking few years back but it lasted for a few months because they reversed their policies. I think they do check in the UK tho.
