Apple's newest laptop, the M4 MacBook Air was only released last month, but there are already discounts in the US! Up to $107 off at Amazon isn't exactly a massive saving, but it's great for such a new machine whose starting price is already $100 lower than that of its predecessor.

And considering that the lingering threat of import tariffs could lead to price hikes on tech products, it may make sense to grab a discount now: either $60 off the base version or $80 off high-spec configurations.
