Over the past few years, Apple hasn’t really been hiking prices – in fact, in some cases it’s been doing the opposite. The MacBook Air is a perfect example, and it got more affordable since Apple introduced its own chips. What was once a laptop that never, ever went on sale is now showing up more and more in big Amazon sales.
This Labor Day, it takes it to the next level with the brand-new 2025 MacBook Air falling to an all-time low. The 13-inch version with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage falls to $799, from a full $200 off its normal $999. The higher-end ones with bigger storage and RAM are also heavily discounted but this model is the one that’s technically fallen to an all-time low.

Best in Class Laptop
The MacBook Air’s draw has always been combining power, portability and battery life, but the 2025 version does it even better thanks to the new M4 chip within. The processor is designed with Apple Intelligence in mind so it’s optimized to handle future AI features that will be introduced across macOS and the remainder of Apple’s platform. More importantly for day-to-day use, the M4 makes every task faster and smoother: If you’re looking for a laptop that can manage both the basics and more demanding tasks without slowing down, this deal puts that capability within reach at an affordable price.
The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is still one of the best features of the MacBook Air: With its precise bright colors, sharp resolution, and broad color gamut coverage, it’s a monitor for anyone from a student to a professional. Watching movies, photo editing, or simply typing reports feels more real and comfortable on a display like this. The thin bezels give a streamlined look, and True Tone adapts the color temperature to your environment.
Priced at around 2.7 pounds and measuring less than half an inch, MacBook Air lives up to its name: It fits into any bag and it’s easy to tote around all day. Even with that thin design, it doesn’t cut corners on connections or sound. You still get a pair of Thunderbolt ports, a MagSafe charging port, a headphone jack and a surprisingly deep speaker system for a laptop of this thickness.
Apple has also raised the bar on video calling with a 12MP front camera that includes Center Stage which is a feature that ensures you’re always front and center during a call. And with studio-quality mics and improved speakers, the Macbook Air is prepared for work calls as well as family video calls. For security and ease of use, Touch ID is built into the keyboard so you can unlock the machine or confirm purchases instantly.
Naturally, battery life remains one of the primary points of appeal. Apple claims the new MacBook Air will last up to 18 hours on a single battery, so you can get through a full day of classes, meetings, or travel without having to plug in. That combination of power and thrift is exactly why this line has been so adored.
If you’d been waiting for a good reason to finally splurge on the MacBook Air, this Labor Day sale makes it an easy call.
