The Apple MacBook Air M1 is just $699 at Walmart [Update]

It's a great time to be an Apple fan. Retailers are taking hundreds of dollars off Apple's entire range of laptops and one MacBook deal is especially standing out.

For a limited time, you can get the 13-inch MacBook Air M1 on sale for $699 at Walmart. I've been tracking the price of this MacBook Air since its 2020 debut and it's never been this cheap. It usually sells for a discounted price of $749 at Amazon or Best Buy, but this is the lowest price ever and no retailer is price matching Walmart so far.

Update March 17: Walmart's page was slow to load when this deal went live but it’s working fine now and all three colors are in stock, try re-loading the page a few times to see this deal. Best Buy had it for $649, but it's showing up as sold out.

Obviously, the M1 MacBook Air is now three generations old. Would I buy it as my main work machine. Probably not. Would I buy this for everyday simple tasks or for a student — absolutely. We still consider it one of the best MacBooks you can buy.

In our MacBook Air M1 review, we applauded the Air's M1 performance, which admittedly gets beaten by most new laptops nowadays. But it's the cheapest MacBook you can currently buy from Apple, which makes it ideal for anybody shopping on a budget — and don't worry, there are no compromises in terms of performance.

The MacBook Air M1 has a crisp 13-inch (2560 x 1600) pixel Retina display, 8GB of RAM, Apple's 8-core M1 CPU, and a 256GB SSD. This is all packed into a premium aluminum shell that measures 0.6-inches thick and weighs only 2.8-pounds. 

Additionally, we got an incredible 14 hours and 41 minutes of battery life out of our MacBook Air during our tests — meaning this is a laptop you'll be able to carry with you all day.
