The Apple MacBook Air 13 M4 model now earns a perfect score, as the best 13-inch (or 14-inch) laptop you can buy today. And its base model is better than ever.

Long gone are the days when 13-inch laptops have had to sacrifice performance in favour of portability. And no more is that the case with the latest Apple laptops that deliver incredible performance in a super small case, including the brand new MacBook Air M4 that's down to $949 at Amazon (was $999).

Right now, you can get the near-maxed out M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM for just $1,099 at Amazon. That’s a massive $300 saving, which makes this one of the biggest laptop deals I’ve seen this year (so far).
