The M4 MacBook Air is now available for preorder through Amazon, the Apple Store, Best Buy, and B&H Photo ahead of its formal launch on Wednesday, March 12. Paid members of the My Best Buy program (Plus and Total tiers) save $50 when they preorder any configuration.

Apple has opted for a straightforward upgrade to the MacBook Air rather than disrupt the consumer-focused macOS laptop with innovative features.

The fact that Apple is able to sell a new MacBook Air M4 this year with an upgraded chip under the hood, a new paint job on deck and a lower price tag to boot is very surprising — especially when you consider the concern over U.S. tariffs raising prices on electronics this year.
