American retail chain Walmart announced the start of sales of MacBook Air with M1 chip for $ 699 (about 64.2 thousand rubles). In this respect reports MacRumor portal.
It is stated that chains such as Amazon and Best Buy offer the MacBook Air M1 for $ 750, while Walmart offers this model for $ 50 cheaper. Moreover, not refurbished devices, but completely new ones will be offered for sale at a discounted price. Apple itself sells refurbished (refurbished) MacBook Air M1 for $ 759 (about 69.7 thousand rubles).
The MacBook Air M1 laptop was released in November 2020 as one of the first Apple computers to feature the proprietary ARM chip. Last month, the company abandoned its launch in connection with the release of a new, more powerful model with the M3 chip.
Despite the fact that this laptop is more than three years old, its performance is still sufficient for undemanding users who are looking for a high-quality and inexpensive device, and Apple still releases updates for it. However, while it has an older design, newer computers offer a notch-style cutout.
