DespiteAmazon’s October Prime Day sale kicking off tomorrow, if you’re waiting for a Prime Day price cut (or earlyBlack Friday laptop deal), then I recommend buying the following deal right now, with Best Buy offering the excellentMacBook Air (M1) for just $749.99- a price cut of $250.

If you’re in the UK, Amazon has a similarly good deal, offering the same MacBook Air with M1 chip for £835 -andby clicking the voucher below the price, you knock a further £113.35 off the price, so you end up with one of thebest laptopsever madefor just £721.65! That’s an incredible price, though remember you have to add the MacBook Air to your basket and go to the checkout to see the reduced price.•Shop more early Prime Day dealsAlthough theMacBook Air (M1, 2020)was first released three years ago, it’s still a brilliant laptop, offering excellent performance in a thin and light body. And, with these new discounts, it’s now better value than ever.

In fact, I’d go far as to say that you won’t get a better laptop at this price, and I doubt we’ll see the price drop further forAmazon Prime Day, or evenBlack Friday, which is next month.

At this new low price, the M1 MacBook Air is an ideal laptop for students, or anyone looking for an affordable and dependable device to work on. It might be a few years old, butApplehas a great reputation for building MacBooks that stand the test of time, and I doubt the price will drop much further - so this is a deal I don’t think you should miss out on in the hope a better one comes along. In the UK, it’s also worth noting that the voucher is time-limited, and while Amazon doesn’t say when the offer expires, it could be soon.
