During the upcoming Amazon Great Indian Festival sale, one of the very first Apple Silicon-powered Macs - the MacBook Air M1 will be available at an effective all-time low price of Rs 49,999, making it a perfect deal for anyone looking for an affordable MacBook that offers good performance and amazing battery life. During the Great Indian Festival sale, starting from September 27, the MacBook Air, powered by an M1 chip with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage, will be listed for Rs 53,990, which currently retails for Rs 69,990. With a flat bank discount of Rs 3,000 for SBI card users, the effective price of the MacBook Air will come down to Rs 50,990. For Amazon Prime members, there will be an early-bird price (will only be available in the first six hours), further bringing down the effective price of the MacBook Air M1 to Rs 49,990. Launched back in 2020, the MacBook Air M1 is one of the first laptops from Apple that came with an in-house M1 chip instead of Intel. Besides, it is also the first Mac from Apple which utilized a memory-on-chip design, where both RAM and ROM were soldered to the motherboard. It is also compatible with Apple's latest macOS Sonoma update and will soon gain Apple Intelligence, which also makes it one of the most affordable MacBooks that support Apple Intelligence. For anyone looking for more options, the MacBook Air M2 with a new design and MagSafe charging will be available at a discounted price of Rs 64,990, again, a great laptop with a slightly modern design, especially when compared to the MacBook Air M1. Given its age, the MacBook Air M1 might not be the most powerful laptop that money can buy, especially at the Rs 50,000 price mark. However, for those who need a premium-looking/feeling laptop that offers a slim design, great battery life, a good display, speakers, and can handle normal tasks like web browsing without any issue, the MacBook Air M1 is still a solid choice.
