The Apple MacBook Air (Early 2020) laptop is on sale at Amazon

Looking for a new laptop? Have you considered a PC-to-Mac switch? We’ve found an offer that will get you a great computer without leaving a massive dent in your wallet. Right now, the Apple MacBook Air (2020 model) is down to $799 ($200 off) at Amazon, just in time for Memorial Day. Apple rarely discounts its products, and this is the all-time lowest price we’ve seen on this gem. Our suggestion? Go for it.

What really separated the MacBook Air from previous models was its new and improved Magic Keyboard. Previously, Apple used an imprecise and slippery “butterfly-style” keyboard. This was one of the biggest complaints from users. But for 2020, Apple has introduced new “scissor” type keys which are more comfortable and precise for typing.

“The screen is beautiful. The Magic Keyboard is very nice and a definite improvement over the previous butterfly mechanism,” wrote one happy five-star reviewer. “For everyday use of browsing, Netflix, Zoom calls, and presentations, you’ll probably never hear the fan or feel the heat under your keyboard.”

Even longtime Windows 10 users have opted for Mac because of its ease of use and wide range of apps available – more than 1.8 million, compared to less than half on the Microsoft Store.

“Battery life is phenomenal,” said one fan. “I can take it with me and use it all day without any problems… The performance is spectacular. It runs in circles around everything else I have that is Windows based… For the majority of people this is going to be their go-to laptop, and what you get for an entry-level Mac is stellar.
