In a surprising move, Walmart has begun selling Apple’s M1 MacBook Air for just $699, the first time the retail giant offers Macs. This discounted price applies to the base model online and will soon be available in select stores. Apple unveiled the new M3 MacBook Air and discontinued the M1 version.
Before now, Walmart offered Apple products like iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches, but Macs were missing from their shelves. They relied on other companies to sell Macs through their online marketplace.
Last week, Apple revamped its MacBook Air lineup. They introduced the new M3 model starting at $1099 and lowered the price of the M2 to $999. However, they discontinued the M1 MacBook Air, which previously held the $999 price tag.
This is where Walmart’s offer becomes exciting. They’re now selling the M1 MacBook Air, brand new (not refurbished!), for just $699, which is a huge saving compared to the newer models.
