It's Labor Day weekend, a great time to look for tech deals. Kicking off the holiday is one discount (opens in new tab) you can't miss out on: Best Buy is selling (opens in new tab) the MacBook Air for a whopping $650 off. 

The model on sale comes in Space Gray and is well-equipped with a Core i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Typically selling for $1,799, this decked-out MacBook Air is now just $1,149. 

  • MacBook Air (2018) (opens in new tab) for $1,150 ($650 off, Core i5 CPU/16GB of RAM/512GB SSD)

Note, this is the 2018 MacBook Air, so you get the redesigned chassis, the gorgeous Retina display and the latest Core i5 Y-series CPU. Apple released a newer model earlier this year, but it's practically identical to the last version apart from having a True Tone display and a slightly different keyboard. 

If you don't need so much storage or RAM, Best Buy is selling the base model and 256GB versions for $300 off. That drops the starting price of the MacBook Air down to just $899 when configured with a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. You can get 256GB of storage for a total price of $1,099, but we recommend spending an extra $50 for the 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD model we mentioned earlier. 

These deals are part of Best Buy's Labor Day sale (opens in new tab), so you have only until Monday to make a decision.
