The Apple MacBook Air M1 is a great deal at just $599, but we believe most of you should upgrade to the M2 mode's current offer.

The M1 MacBook Air may be 4 years old, but we still love its retro good looks. And at this price, is worth real consideration even as a secondary backup laptop: Walmart is selling the M1 MacBook Air in silver, space gray, or gold for $599, a savings of $400 off the original MSRP and the best price we’ve ever seen for any Apple laptop.

Walmart is now discounting the 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 even further, allowing you to get this Apple Intelligence-ready laptop for just $599.99 (originally $699.99). This is a crazy discount on an already discounted laptop and the lowest price we've tracked. When my colleague Lance Ulanoff wrote about it in March, it was only $699.99.

Thanks to an exclusive arrangement with Apple, Walmart sells factory-new versions of the M1 MacBook Air priced at just $599. That’s way less than we’ve seen newer MacBook Air models priced at Amazon and elsewhere, even during their Prime Day lows.
