Apple - MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop - Apple M4 chip Built for Apple Intelligence - 32GB Memory - 1TB SSD

Apple MacBook Air 13" (M4, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sky Blue) – $1,399 (save $400) ·

Best Buy has the M4 MacBook Air in the 32GB/1TB config for $1,399, down $400 from $1,799. Also available in Silver, Starlight, and Midnight. Open-box units starting at $1,355 if you want to shave a little more off. Ships tomorrow.

This is the beefed-up MacBook Air — same fanless M4 chip as the base model but with 32GB unified memory instead of the standard 16GB, which makes a real difference if you're running multiple heavy apps, keeping dozens of browser tabs open, or doing any light video/photo work. The 1TB storage is the other upgrade worth having. 18-hour battery life, 13.6" Liquid Retina display, 12MP Center Stage camera, Thunderbolt 4, MagSafe charging.

The $400 discount is notable because Apple rarely discounts heavily, and Best Buy is an authorized reseller so you get the full Apple warranty. This config normally costs $1,799 and the base 16GB/256GB Air starts at $1,099 — so you're paying $300 more than base for 2x the RAM and 4x the storage, which is generally the right call if you're keeping it 3-5 years.

No fan means it runs silent always, which is either fine or a dealbreaker depending on what you throw at it — sustained heavy loads will throttle more than an MBP Pro would.
