I can't believe the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is this cheap — Get $150 off in huge post-Memorial Day saving
We thought the Memorial Day laptop deals would be over and done, but Apple clearly didn't get the message as one of the company's best laptops is still cheaper than ever!
Right now, the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is just $1,049 at Amazon, which is a massive $150 off. Just make sure you click the checkbox to activate the coupon to scoop up the whole saving.
This is easily one of the best big-screen laptops you can get, with a slim, sleek construction, plenty of performance and insane power efficiency. And now, you can get $150 off this fantastic all-in-one.
Of course, the more things change, the more they stay the same. As we said in our M4 MacBook Air review, it looks identical to the M3 and M2, which to be honest isn't really a bad thing. That utilitarian aesthetic of this uber slim laptop looks unmistakably premium — and feels it too with that all-aluminum build.
As for using it, the 15-inch display is bright and vivid, the ergonomics continue to be stellar with a great keyboard and massive touchpad, and the M4 chip brings big performance gains that make this a top notch all-rounder for everything from casual work up to even some prosumer tasks like 4K video editing.
And even better, Apple launched it at $100 less than the previous Air released for. Compound this with an additional $150 off and this is one of the biggest deals still going from Memorial Day 2025!
So if you were umming and ahhing about a MacBook Air, you didn't miss your big chance to snag one for cheap. If you're looking for something to play on, we're still monitoring what Memorial Day gaming laptop deals continue to be available.

Why Wall Street downgrades of Apple stock are about to pile up
Shares of Apple AAPL — already down 20% since the beginning of the year — are likely to fall even further in coming months. That prediction is based on the behavior of Wall Street analysts, who tend to react slowly to developments. Seven of the almost 50 analysts who regularly follow Apple's stock have downgraded it this year. That leaves a large group of analysts who potentially could join this group of seven, and whose downgrades could cause Apple's stock to fall even further. 'You never know what might happen': How do I make sure my son-in-law doesn't get his hands on my daughter's inheritance? Five emerging pillars of stock-market support that should keep investors from rushing the exits My ex-wife said she should have been compensated for working part time during our marriage. Do I owe her? My daughter's boyfriend, a guest in my home, offered to powerwash part of my house — then demanded money S&P 500 scores best May since 1990, but stocks end month with fresh tariff worries Analysts' sluggishness in responding to new information is tied to their career and compensation incentives. It's risky for them to deviate too far from the Wall Street consensus. If they're wrong, their reputation will suffer and they possibly could lose their job. As such, they are inclined to keep their earnings estimates and buy-hold-sell ratings in the middle of the pack. This herd instinct was famously described by the late British economist John Maynard Keynes as 'worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally.' This theory of analyst behavior leads to a number of empirical predictions that have been borne out by research. One, as confirmed by this study, is that a downgrade of a given stock is more likely to be followed by another downgrade rather than an upgrade — and vice versa. This phenomenon is illustrated by the chart above, which plots the number of downgrades and upgrades of Apple stock over the trailing six months. Notice the preponderance of downgrades (the red columns) over the past few months. Another consequence of analyst sluggishness is that the stock market reacts more quickly than analysts to developments that affect a company's prospects. One study, for example, found that the analyst consensus on a given stock reflects just two-thirds of the information that the market itself has already taken into account. You might conclude from this result that equity analyst upgrades and downgrades should simply be ignored, since there would be no role for them to play if the stock market has already discounted all relevant new information. But the stock market isn't that perfect. Researchers have found that as analysts finally take into account the information the market has already incorporated, prices move even more. This is why it's a good bet there will be more downgrades of Apple stock in the coming months — and why shareholders will suffer even more than they have already.

20+ of the Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals Still Live: Your Last Chance to Save on a New Bed
Memorial Day may be over, but several top mattress brands are still offering extended sales. If you're thinking about upgrading your sleep setup, this is your final opportunity. These leftover deals won't last much longer. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. CNET's sleep experts have spent years testing mattresses to help you find the best options for your budget and sleep preferences. Right now brands like Casper, Purple and Nectar are still running major discounts. You'll find deals on everything from memory foam and hybrid mattresses to bedding and sleep accessories. We'll keep updating this page with the latest prices, so check back often before these extended Memorial Day offers disappear. Best overall Memorial Day mattress sales Brooklyn Bedding Brooklyn Bedding's beds are known for their quality and affordability, so it is notable that its prices have dropped 30%. CNET's best overall mattress, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, drops below $999 for a queen with this sale. The Aurora Luxe, our favorite cooling bed of all time, is just less than $1,700. Down from $2,265, this is an excellent price for a bed that will help hot sleepers rest better. The 25% off sale is sitewide with the code MEMORIAL25. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Brooklyn Bedding Close Leesa Leesa's ultra comfortable mattresses are some of my favorites. The Leesa Sapira Chill, our pick for the best luxury mattress, is on sale for $1,584. That's more than $679 in savings. It's still expensive but this is a good deal for the quality, especially because Leesa is adding a free sleep bundle that includes two pillows and a microfiber sheet set. Details 30% off select mattresses + free sleep bundle See at Leesa Close Nectar Hands down, Nectar does some of the most generous sales of all the mattress brands, which is good because some of the newest Nectar beds can be pricey. For Memorial Day, Nectar beds are up to 50% off, and bundles are 66% off. That means you can get the Nectar Classic Hybrid for $799 instead of $1,531. If you want to update your whole bedding setup, add the optional bundle for only $179. It includes a sheet set, two cooling pillows and a mattress protector. The all-foam model of this bed is only $649. Finding quality queen mattresses for less than $1,000 can be difficult, so this sale is big if you're a fan of dense memory foam. Details Up to 50% off mattresses + 66% off bundles See at Nectar Close Helix Helix's early access Memorial Day sale is 25% sitewide with a free bedding bundle if you buy a Luxe or Elite mattress. Here at CNET, we're big fans of Helix mattresses, especially the comfy pillowtops on the Luxe models. The Helix Midnight Luxe, which I recommend to just about anyone who wants a medium mattress, is down to $1,780 with this sale. Admittedly, the Luxe beds are on the more expensive side. You can drop a tier to the core collection for more affordable beds. The Helix Midnight is $999 right now. If you choose from the core collection, you'll miss out on the free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set and mattress protector. The bedding bundle's value isn't more than the difference between the two prices so I don't think the free offerings are enough to move the needle for you. I'm currently testing the Helix Frame, which is on sale for $187. I highly recommend it for people who want a no-fuss bed frame that is easy to assemble. Seriously, it took me less than 5 minutes to put it together. Use the code MEMDAY25 to cash in on these savings. Details 25% off sitewide + free bedding bundle with select mattresses with code MEMDAY25 See at Helix Close Saatva For Memorial Day, Saatva is running deals where you can save up to $600 off a mattress. The amount off will depend on the total of your purchase. A $950 to $1,999 purchase will save you $200, plus an extra $100 off if you get an adjustable base or upholstered bed frame with the mattress. You won't get that $600 off unless you spend more than $4,500. It's not the most generous sale we've seen from Saatva, but it's still a nice chunk of change off the price of a luxury bed. The Saatva Classic, our favorite firm bed, is only $1,799, $300 off of the usual price. If you're looking for a bed specifically for back pain, the Saata Rx is reduced to $3,049 for a queen. Details Take up to $600 off See at Saatva Close Casper Casper mattresses are up to 30% off for Memorial Day. The savings will vary by bed. Casper's best-selling all-foam bed, the One, is on sale for only $799 for a queen. That's 20% off. The more expensive the beds, the higher the discount. The Casper Snow cooling mattress is 30% off, which drops the price to $1,745. Details Up to 30% off mattresses See at Casper Close Bear Bear is a brand that makes affordable beds that will surprise you with how comfortable they are. The Memorial Day sale from Bear makes the beds almost impossible to pass up. There's sales of 35% off sitewide with two free pillows when you buy a mattress. The Bear Original mattress is one of my favorite all-foam mattresses for the price. With the sale, you can get a queen for only $649. The Pro Hybrid is only $1,113, a great price for a hybrid bed. Details 35% off sitewide + 2 free pillows + 40% off mattresses with code MD4TY See at Bear Close DreamCloud I'm a big fan of DreamCloud beds and I helped my brother buy one during the Presidents Day sale. Little did I know the Memorial Day mattress sale would be even better. I'm not sure I've ever seen a sale with up to 60% off. The DreamCloud Classic all-foam bed is only $799 for a queen, and the hybrid is only $649. If you're a pillowtop lover, I highly recommend DreamCloud. Details Up to 60% off mattresses See at DreamCloud Close Best Memorial Day sitewide mattress deals Plank Plank is offering a 25% off sitewide sale right now.

Right now, you can get it for less than $1,000. If you're looking for a hybrid bed, I'd recommend the Plank Firm Luxe, also on sale for just under $1,300. Use the code MEMORIAL25 for this sale. Details 25% off with code MEMORIAL25 See at Plank Close Avocado Avocado beds are easily the best organic beds out there. Besides the eco-friendly construction, the Avocado Green mattress has the most green certifications of any brand. Avocado's Memorial Day sale is up to 20% off mattresses, bedding and furniture. That drops the cost of a queen Avocado Green bed to $2,099. Use code HONOR10 for 10% off select eco organic mattresses, pillows and bedding. Use code HONOR15 for 15% off select green mattresses. Use code HONOR20 for 20% off select luxury organic mattresses. Details Up to 20% off mattresses, bedding and furniture See at Avocado Close Titan Titan is running a 25% off sitewide Memorial Day sale covering beds, accessories and bases. The Titan Plus mattress is CNET's choice for the best firm mattress for heavy people because of its extra-durable construction. This sale means you can get a queen Titan Plus mattress for only $937 with the code MEMORIAL25. Finding a quality bed for less than $1,000 is hard, so this is an excellent sale for heavy back and stomach sleepers. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Titan Close Nolah Nolah's 35% off sitewide sale includes two free pillows with your mattress purchase. The Nolah Evolution is my favorite mattress for those looking for a soft mattress. The pillow top is one of the plushest options out there and a queen is currently on sale for $1,383 with two free pillows. This sale is across Nolah's beds, frames and bedding. Details 35% off sitewide + 2 free pillows See at Nolah Close Dreamfoam Budget brand Dreamfoam from Brooklyn Bedding is running a 25% off sitewide Memorial Day sale with the code MEMORIAL25. The beds are priced well for the budget tier, so this sale only sweetens the deal. The Dreamfoam Doze, our favorite cheap firm mattress, is only $180 for the 7-inch model. The 11-inch model, which I recommend for side sleepers, is $251 for a queen. These beds aren't going to knock your socks off with special features or cooling covers, but they're the most affordable online beds we've tested. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Dreamfoam Close Naturepedic Through June 2, Naturepedic is offering 20% off sitewide with the code MEMORIAL20. That means the Naturepedic Serenade mattress is only $1,599. Organic beds tend to be more expensive so it's not a bad price for an eco-friendly bed. Details 20% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL20 See at Naturepedic Close Essentia Another organic mattress that's on sale is the Essentia Grateful Eight.

Birch Natural is our pick for the best organic hybrid mattress, and you can get it for $1,399 during this sale. While 25% is in line with a lot of the other sales, the two included pillows are a $149 value, so that's a nice addition. Details 25% Off Sitewide + 2 Free Eco-Rest Pillows with code MEMDAY25 See at Birch Close Purple Purple offers up to $700 off mattresses and bases for Memorial Day. The amount you save depends on the mattress and base. For example, the Purple Restore hybrid is $300 off. The sale also varies by base, like the Premium Smart Base, which is $300. Put those together, and you'll get closer to $600 off. You don't have to buy a base to get the discount on the mattress but you have to get a mattress and a base to receive the discount on the base. The sales don't stop there, as Purple is offering 30% off bedding, pillows and more. Details Up to $700 off mattresses + bases See at Purple Close Layla Up to $200 off is Layla's typical holiday sale, although the two free pillows do sweeten the deal.

Our pick for the best bed for side sleepers, the Layla Hybrid mattress, is $200 off, bringing the queen's price down to $1,499. The memory foam model is $949, which is $150 off.

The Pure Eco Organic Kids Mattress is not included in this sale. Details 10% organic beds, bedding and bases See at My Green Mattress Close Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress? Memorial Day is a good time to buy a mattress if you're in the market for one. Some of the sales are generous, especially the ones that throw in extra pillows and bedding. I've been doing this long enough to notice sales trends across brands. For instance, Saatva usually peaks around $600 off mattresses, while Nectar has been known to mark 50% off. Most big names offer sales within a specific range, so if you can't afford a mattress right now, don't sweat it. There's always another holiday coming. Should you wait until Prime Day to buy a mattress? No, it's not necessarily better to wait until Amazon Prime Day in July to buy a new mattress. While some brands will offer deals around that time, nearly all mattress companies offer discounts around Memorial Day. Additionally, upcoming tariffs may increase the prices of mattresses across the board, so if you want to snag a new bed for a lower price, significant sales are happening now. Our sleep and deals experts monitor the web to uncover the best discounts and help you save big. Check back, as we update our deals pages often.
