A full $200 off makes this slightly older model an easy recommendation if you're on the hunt for an Apple machine on a budget. Yes, it's around three years old as of writing, but it's still capable of keeping up with some of the best laptops on the market.
For example, the M1 chip inside this machine still holds up for most casual and professional tasks and lends the Apple MacBook Air M1 almost unbeatable battery life. The design of this machine is also great, with an excellent keyboard and display, which, while having chunkier bezels than the Apple MacBook Air M2, is still bright and vivid.
Speaking of which, you could also consider the M2 Air for $1,099 at Amazon, which is currently the cheapest price you'll find on this later model today. Bear in mind, however, that it's not quite as good of a buy as the M1 - not only because it's more expensive, but also because it's $100 off the record-low price for this model. In comparison, the M1 is a much better value buy in our opinion.
