Apple products are notorious for their sleek design, innovative, user-friendly tech, and steep prices. However, Cyber Monday is the time of year in which some Apple products actually go on sale with significant discounts. One markdown I found particularly noteworthy is $250 off the 2025 13″ MacBook Air M4, which is currently priced at $749.

The Apple 13″ MacBook Air M4 came out in 2025 and is a startlingly good device for this price. In fact, ZDNET editor Kyle Kucharski wrote that although he’s a Windows user, the “MacBook Air M4 could be [his] new main driver.” Though it’s not equipped with the latest processor like the MacBook Pro M5, the 13″ M4 is remarkably lightweight and portable, and ZDNET writer Prakhar Khanna found that the M4 “doesn’t sacrifice battery life to achieve its 1.24kg form factor.”

The M4 is definitely an upgrade from Apple’s previous MacBook Air models, even at 13 inches. It starts with 16GB of unified RAM, and the Liquid Retina screen supplies “crisp, well-defined text, smooth, vibrant video, and support for 1 billion colors,” Kucharski wrote. The lowest-tier configuration of the M4 comes with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU, while the highest offers 32GB of unified memory–a massive upgrade from the 24GB offered by the M3. In terms of productivity, Kucharski noted that the 12MP webcam is exceptional with “crisp, smooth, and well-lit” image quality and Spacial Audio, and the M4 Air includes support for two additional external monitors.

But if you’re considering an upgrade, we highly doubt that the MacBook Air M4 will be under $750 for long.

How I rated this deal
The 13″ MacBook Air M4 is a quality computer any way you slice it, especially considering its inclusion of Apple Intelligence, Liquid Retina, long-lasting battery, and 256GB SSD storage. The M5 isn’t available in a MacBook Air model yet, so this is currently the most advanced Air you can buy–and it’s under $750.
When will this deal expire?
We’re not sure how long this promotion will last, but it’s already been live in the weeks leading up to Black Friday, so I wouldn’t count on it being available past Cyber Monday.
