If you want to surprise dad or refresh your personal computer, the latest Apple M4 MacBook Air should be on your radar. If you act now, you can snag the best laptop of 2025 for dollars off retail in time for Father's Day, June 15.

Currently, Amazon offers the Apple MacBook Air M4 for just $837. It normally costs $999, so that's $162 in savings and one of the best MacBook deals happening this week.

It's not the lowest price I've seen for the M4 MacBook Air, but it's still a nice savings. At $837, it's $25 shy of its record-low price of $812, which it briefly sold for in a flash deal.
