Buy the MacBook Air M1 at Amazon – $ 929
With an excellent score of 94, the MacBook Air M1 is one of the best laptops we’ve reviewed in recent memory. Some of the reasons for this include fast performance, light weight of 2.8 pounds, quiet fanless design and 16 hour battery. The only problem we had at the time was the lack of native applications, but many new ones have emerged since then, including beta versions of Photoshop and other Adobe applications. Other than that, it is very similar to previous Intel models, with a 13.3 inch screen, excellent trackpad and comfortable keyboard.
We were a little less excited about the MacBook Pro M1, although it still received a solid review score. Since it includes a fan and a larger body, it can outperform the MacBook Air M1 and also offers a lovely Retina display, good keyboard and trackpad and up to 16 hours of battery life. However, it lacks features that content creators can expect, such as the ability to use more than one external monitor, just two USB-C ports and a limitation of 16 GB of RAM. AN
Amazon’s deals only apply to the 256 GB versions (each with 8 GB of RAM), and the lowest price on the MacBook Air M1 is limited to the gold model. However, you can get the MacBook Pro for the retail price in space gray or silver for just an extra dollar.
