Prepare yourselves, mortals, for a revelation! The utterly essential 15-inch MacBook Air M4 (with a positively decadent 16GB RAM and a quaint 256GB SSD) has graced Amazon with a sale price of just $986.95. Yes, that’s a whole $212.05 — an almost dizzying 18% off its usual $1,199. We’ve literally never seen it this low on Amazon, which, in the grand scheme of things, is practically a miracle.

Still clinging to that ancient, wheezing contraption that demands to be tethered to a wall outlet like a life support patient? The one that slows to a glacial crawl just thinking about opening a second tab? Well, dear sufferer, your long national nightmare of "shuddering" at the thought of a new laptop price is finally over! Amazon, in a rare moment of benevolence, has decided to throw you a bone.

As of June 3rd, the aforementioned 15-inch MacBook Air M4 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD – yes, we’re repeating ourselves, it’s that important) is indeed a mere $986.95. That’s a whopping $212.05 you’ll be able to blow on artisanal coffee or, you know, rent. And, just to be sure you feel truly special, this is the absolute lowest price this particular piece of Apple hardware has ever dared to dip to on Amazon. You’re practically stealing it. But, like, legally.

We understand, truly, the sheer trauma of spending over a grand on a new laptop. It’s almost… unsettling. Which is precisely why this deal is a monumental ‘phew!’ for your delicate sensibilities. And yes, it’s equipped with the new M4 chip and Apple’s groundbreaking decision to include a full 16GB of RAM. Because, apparently, 8GB just isn’t enough to browse TikTok with existential dread anymore.

According to Mashable’s Senior Editor Stan Schroeder, who apparently knows things, this MacBook Air M4 is "powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades." He even went so far as to declare it "the best-buy Apple laptop, period." And who are we to argue with such definitive pronouncements? In fact, it snagged the coveted "top spot" in Mashable’s entirely unbiased ranking of the best MacBooks. The only real tragedy, apparently, is that it’s stuck with a measly 60Hz refresh rate. Oh, the humanity! How will you ever survive those slideshows?

So, if you’ve been pining, yearning, nay, dreaming of a new MacBook while simultaneously lamenting the inevitable march of rising prices, today is your day. Go forth, embrace your destiny, and snag this 15-inch MacBook Air M4 for under a grand before the universe decides you don’t deserve nice things.
