Taking a look at Walmart’s web site, these M1 Airs are being bought new, which makes the $699 worth compelling (Finest Purchase will even ship a brand new one for $999 in the event you choose to pay full worth). That stated, you solely get to decide on the bottom mannequin, which comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. I’d usually bristle at 8GB of RAM in 2024 — however the drop to $699 takes a few of the sting out of that, and it’s even decrease than latest reductions that had taken the laptop computer’s worth all the way down to $749.
The one factor that’s unclear is how lengthy Apple will proceed supplying Walmart with new M1 Airs or whether or not it is a short-term association till the present inventory is cleared out. We’ve reached out to Apple for clarification however didn’t instantly obtain a response.
If that is an ongoing deal, that’s enormous for Walmart and wedge-heads in every single place. And even when it isn’t, at the least it offers of us the choice of getting one earlier than they’re really gone. The M1 Air is a beloved laptop computer, and it warms the guts to see the wedge form might be round for only a smidge longer.
