This is the 2020 version of Apple’s hugely popular lighter-than-air laptop series that still packs a punch today with great battery life, bright display, and 8GB of memory all in the ultra-portable and lightweight design that the series is known for. The MacBook Air with Apple’s first-generation Silicon chip still holds its own in 2024, especially at this price point.

The M1 MacBook Air first retailed for $999 when it was released, but Apple sells refurbished versions for $799, making these deals even better than anything Apple is offering. The M1 MacBook Air is available in three different colors: gold, space gray, and silver. Snag these savings while you can.

When will this deal expire?

Walmart’s new partnership with Apple allows them to sell computers and laptops directly to customers, a first for the retailer. As such, there’s no expiration date for the M1 MacBook Air for $649, but they almost certainly won’t stay in stock long at this price. Similarly, Best Buy’s $699 price has potential to sell out quick, too.
