Apple's MacBook Air M4 is on sale for a record-low price
You can pick up the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $799, down from $999 — a 20 percent discount. This model comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. You can upgrade to 512GB SSD for $999, down from $1,199, another all-time low price, or 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for $1,199, down from $1,399.
Then there's the 15-inch MacBook Air M4, whose cheapest model is on sale for $999, dropping from $1,199. The 17 percent discount is the best deal we've seen since the pair debuted in March. As with the 13-inch model, the 16GB and 512GB SSD option is also a record-low price, dropping to $1,199 from $1,399. Then there's the 24GB upgrade, which is $1,399, down from $1,599.
We're big fans of the MacBook Air M4, giving it a 92 in our review. Part of that comes from an already lower starting price for the MacBooks than their predecessors. The 2025 models also get a speed boost thanks to the M4 chip and are very thin with a 0.44-inch thickness. Neither the 13- or 15-inch will drag you down, weighing 2.7 pounds and 3.2 pounds, respectively. Plus, they both have excellent battery life, lasting over 18 hours while playing an HD video.
The big differences in the 15-inch model mostly come down to size. The screen is obviously bigger, as is its trackpad. Other than that, it offers better speakers than its 13-inch sibling.

Qualcomm's (QCOM) Strong Q3 Performance Shows Resilience—But Apple's Exit Could Hurt
QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) is one of the AI Stocks Investors Should Keep an Eye On. On July 31, Qualcomm reported fiscal third-quarter earnings, beating Wall Street expectations. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.77, surpassing the LSEG consensus estimate of $2.71. Revenue for the quarter came in at $10.37 billion, ahead of the expected $10.35 billion. Looking ahead, the company's revenue guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $10.7 billion at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $10.61 billion. Adjusted EPS guidance is $2.85 at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $2.82. A financial analyst reviewing multitudes of digital evidence on a large monitor. However, the reliance on high-end smartphone chip sales and the likelihood of losing Apple as a customer for its modem business in the coming years drove down the optimistic quarterly forecast for the modem chips supplier. The company has warned that when Apple goes away, it will impact its chip segment revenue. Qualcomm reported that its chip segment revenue from non-Apple customers has climbed more than 15% so far. According to William McGonigle, analyst at Third Bridge, the chip segment sales increase, excluding Apple, 'is largely driven by ASP (average selling price) uplift from flagship Android launches rather than broad-based volume recovery.' QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) develops wireless technologies, supplies chips for mobile, automotive, and IoT, licenses patents, and invests in emerging tech. While we acknowledge the potential of QCOM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
