April is shaping up to be a great month for MacBooks With Memorial Day sales just around the corner, the deals are getting better and better

For example, right now Amazon is offering $200 off all current MacBook laptops As part of this sale, the rarely discounted Apple MacBook Air M1 (256GB) is on sale for $94999 That's $49 off and one of the best Apple deals we've seen this year

If you're looking for the cheapest MacBook laptop, the new MacBook Air M1 doesn't disappoint, with a 13-inch 2,560 x 1,600 pixel Retina display, 8GB of RAM, Apple's 8-core M1 CPU, and a 256GB SSD Despite its basic configuration, this MacBook has the same CPU as the more expensive MacBook Pro M1 and is powerful enough for anything

MacBook Air M1 reviewers gave this model a near perfect score for outstanding performance, a comfortable keyboard design, a high-resolution webcam, and surprisingly strong battery life The Air scored a Geekbench 51 (Intel) multi-core test, scoring 5,962 points, essentially putting it in a dead heat with the M1 MacBook Pro's 5,925 points It also significantly outperformed the ZenBook 13's 5,084 and the XPS 13's 5,319 in the equivalent Geekbench 52 test (both tested with Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU and 16GB RAM)

The MacBook Air is not the only MacBook on sale at Amazon; the MacBook Pro M1 and 16-inch MacBook Pro are also on sale
