Apple's M1 MacBook Air has been discontinued, but it's still at Best Buy and Walmart for $699. That's a better deal than Windows laptops.
When Apple announced the new M3 MacBook Air, the company also discontinued the M1-powered model. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, of course, since the M1 MacBook Air was released three-and-a-half years ago in November 2020. But despite the fact that this model isn't officially in Apple's lineup anymore, it's still available in brand-new condition from several retailers. It also happens to still be one of the best laptops for many people.
Yes, Best Buy always has to try to squeeze that extra $0.99 out of you. Despite being one of the thinnest and lightest laptops Apple has ever made, the M1 MacBook Air delivers plenty of power courtesy of its M1 Apple Silicon chipset. It has an 8-core CPU that Apple says is 3.5x faster than the last Intel-powered MacBook Air that Apple made. That's a massive power boost.

But these new models, and the final death of the wedge design, raise some questions. Questions like: what does the “Air” even mean anymore? And: was Apple right to try to kill the MacBook Air altogether a bunch of years ago? On this episode of The Vergecast (which is a day early because we’re all about to head to SXSW — come hang with us!), we decide the new Airs don’t warrant too much discussion before proceeding to talk about them for a surprisingly long time.
