You can indeed score a M4 MacBook Pro base model down at $1,299 right now – also $300 off and a new Amazon low – but for folks looking for the upgraded experience, there has never been a better time to buy the 24GB/1TB setup (if saving money is your goal anyway).

Battery life is another advantage of the 2025 MacBook Air: Apple estimates up to 18 hours of use on a single charge thanks to the efficiency of the M4 chip and thoughtful macOS optimisation. That means you can work or study all day without constantly searching for a power outlet.

Apple''s launch of the next M5-powered MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are going to be later than many hoped for, with delays to release reaching into 2026.
