March was a great month for MacBook deals, but the MacBook Air M1 was not discounted much. However, Amazon offered spectacular MacBook Air deals.

Right now, Amazon is offering the rarely discounted Apple MacBook Air M1 (256GB) for $949.99. That's a $49 discount and one of the best Apple deals we've seen this year.

The new MacBook Air has 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 just about 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).

This MacBook Air Deals offer may sell out quickly.
