Most of this year's Memorial Day sales are still a few weeks away, but if you can't wait until then, Amazon has a great deal on a MacBook Air M1 available right now.

For a limited time, Amazon is offering the MacBook Air M1 (256GB) for $899. This is a $100 discount and one of the best deals on a MacBook this year. In fact, it's the lowest price we've seen so far on this laptop, matching the Black Friday price cut.

If you're looking for the cheapest MacBook laptop, the new MacBook Air M1 won't disappoint, with a 13-inch 2,560 x 1,600 pixel Retina display, 8GB of RAM, Apple's 8-core M1 CPU, and a 256GB SSD. Despite its basic configuration, this MacBook has the same CPU as the more expensive MacBook Pro M1 and is powerful enough for anything.

MacBook Air M1 reviewers gave this model a near-perfect score for outstanding performance, a comfortable keyboard design, a high-resolution webcam, and surprisingly strong battery life; the Air scored a Geekbench 5.1 (Intel) multi-core test, scoring 5,962 points, essentially putting it in a dead heat with the M1 MacBook Pro's 5,925 points. It also significantly outperformed the ZenBook 13's 5,084 and the XPS 13's 5,319 in the equivalent Geekbench 5.2 test (both tested with Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU and 16GB RAM).
