The MacBook Air M1 is still a very powerful laptop, even if it's coming up on its third birthday. The M1 chip at its core is a potent portable processor and powers the laptop along perfectly for light workloads and web browsing. For students, there really is nothing better.

This comes just before we're expecting some of the best Mac Prime Day deals to hit, with Prime Day closing in with just under a day to go. Tomorrow, there are going to be even more deals on loads of products around Amazon – not that it's likely that this deal will be beaten, however.
