Amazon has a stellar Black Friday deal on the new MacBook Air

TL;DR: Amazon has this year’s 128GB Apple MacBook Air at the lowest price we’ve ever seen ahead of Black Friday — get it for just $799.99 (down 27% from $1,099.99) by clipping the coupon on its product page.

If you thought you’d already seen the best of this year’s pre-Black Friday laptop deals, Amazon just dropped the savings equivalent of “hold my beer.”

The online retailer just debuted a new digital coupon for the 2019 Apple MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, lowering its sale price of $899.99 by an additional $100. 

You read that correctly: You can get a brand new 13-inch MacBook Air on Amazon right now for under $800. That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen it anywhere — so, uh, no big deal.

Former Mashable tech reporter Ray Wong got the chance to test drive this year’s MacBook Air upon its release this summer, deeming it “a competent laptop for light computing like writing, web browsing, and watching videos.” In other words, you should know that it won’t win any awards for power — go to the all-new MacBook Pro for that — but for its thin, slim size, it’s a very competent portable laptop.

In his review, Wong went on to note that the MacBook Air has some notable improvements over its predecessor, offering a quieter keyboard, a Retina display that supports True Tone color technology, and faster performance overall. It also features one of Apple’s nifty Touch ID sensors, which lets you log into your MacBook Air much faster (and more securely) than a traditional password.

If you were looking to upgrade your existing laptop to a newer, better model without breaking the bank, now’s your chance: Head over to the MacBook Air’s Amazon product page to clip that coupon and order it today for just $799.99 — a 27% total savings.
