Apple finally got around to updating the MacBook Air, and as you’ve probably come to expect from the Cupertino company, that means it also updated the price. Fortunately, a new flash sale from Amazon drops the price back down to what you would have paid for the old entry-level MacBook Air.
For the next 12 hours or so (at the time of writing), Amazon is selling its latest 13-inch MacBook Air for just $999, down $200 from the normal retail price of $1,199. This is the lowest price we’ve seen this model listed for at Amazon.
But I need to say what this laptop is not. The name “MacBook Air” evokes images of panels with glowing Apple logos, a wealth of ports, and springy keyboards with a fantastic amount of key travel.
