Great Indian Festival Sale: Get the MacBook Air M1 For Rs 65,240 On Amazon

Adarsh V.KOctober 3, 23 Apple macbook, MacBook Air

The Apple MacBook Air with the M1 chip remains an important choice for consumers thanks to its strong battery life, performance and build quality. Currently, this model is available at a fixed price of Rs 69,990 on Amazon India, which represents a significant discount from the MRP of Rs 99,900. And this price can be brought down to Rs 65,250 when combined with the SBI card offer.

This sale comes just a few days before the Amazon Great Indian Festival sale and is one of the lowest prices on the MacBook Air M1. In perspective, this translates to a discount of Rs 29,910. Additionally, Amazon is offering credit card offers for interested buyers, offering additional discounts of Rs 3,000 (full payment) or Rs 4,750 (EMI) on SBI credit card. Effectively, this brings the price down to Rs 66,990 and Rs 65,240 for those opting for full installment or EMI.

Should you consider buying a MacBook Air M1 at this price?

Although the MacBook Air M1 was released in 2020 and is now almost three years old, it is still a very capable laptop – thanks to the Apple M1 chipset. It’s great for office jobs, students, and even some creative professionals who need multi-level video or photo editing and graphic design.

We’ve personally used the same laptop with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and haven’t experienced any significant slowdowns, even when editing 4K footage or multitasking with multiple tabs in Safari during our research.

While it may experience minor issues when heavily tasked or with high RAM usage, there are very few options on the market that match this offering from Apple. It can be a cost-effective choice for those who are considering the upcoming M2 machines but want to save close to Rs 30,000.

Apple will also continue to support this laptop for years to come and it recently received the macOS Sonoma update which works quite well on the laptop. We can definitely recommend this laptop at this price point, and it might be a much better option for someone looking to invest in a Windows laptop at around the same price, unless it’s for a specific task that you can only do on Windows.

The MacBook Air M1 is available in three different finishes: silver, space gray and gold.
