Save big money on a selection of MacBooks and Windows laptops with deep discounts ahead of Amazon’s Prime Day 2023 event.
Has it been a minute or three since you’ve treated yourself to a new laptop? Unlike desktop PCs, the upgrade path in most laptops is limited at best, and sometimes non-existent. At some point, it comes time to bite the bullet and splurge on a new system. If you’re at that point, don’t despair—there are bargains to be had, including on some slightly older MacBook models.Case in point, the 13-inch MacBook Air pictured above is on sale for $789 at Amazon (save $210). This is Apple’s 2020 model so it’s not the latest iteration, but it’s also still a relevant and capable machine. It’s based on Apple’s home-brewed M1 silicon with an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU sporting 128 execution units, and a 16-core Neural engine.Other key specs include 8GB of RAM, 256GB solid state drive, backlit keyboard, FaceTime HD camera, Touch ID, and up to 18 hours of battery life. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there’s a thermal mod that you can give a whirl, which has been demonstrated to improve heat dissipation and improve performance.
