The M4 MacBook Air at $749 is one of the best value laptops ever—insane performance, all-day battery, and premium build at a budget price.

Macworld As a minimalist, I’ve long wanted to replace the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 I use for work with a slimmer and more portable iPad. Following the iPad Pro M5’s debut, I came across a heavily discounted M4 model.

This latest Mac mini tucks the M4 chip into a five-by-five-inch enclosure that delivers desktop-class performance while taking up less space on your desk than a large coffee mug. The $120 discount is a rare opportunity to grab Apple’s newest silicon at a reduced price instead of waiting months or years for depreciation to make it affordable.

The Mac mini with the M4 chip hits the sweet spot between power and value. Now $499, it’s an affordable way to get Apple’s latest hardware, complete with M4 performance, Apple Intelligence support, and a sleek minimalist design. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your setup, this deal is an easy recommendation.
