For the first time ever, Walmart is selling Apple laptops directly, and to mark the occasion, offering an incredible sale on the new-in-box M1 MacBook Air for just$699 starting today.Best Buy quickly countered the new price with an even better purchase cost of$649 for an open-box condition MacBook M1.  

This is the 2020 version of Apple's hugely popular lighter-than-air laptop series that still packs a punch today with great battery life, bright display, and 8GB of memory all in the ultra-portable and lightweight design that the series is known for.

We reviewed the M1 MacBook Air back in 2020, and then again in 2022, and concluded that the fan-favorite laptop still holds up as a solid mobile workstation with a host of useful features.
