Need more than just 128GB of storage? The 256GB MacBook Air is on sale for $1,099.99. Now $200 off, it's the lowest price we've ever seen for this configuration, which packs a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.

The MacBook Air is an excellent laptop for students, business users, and everyone in between. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. 

In our Apple MacBook Air 2019 review, we found its crisp, high-resolution Retina display and strong sound impressive. Though it's only fitted with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, we gave it an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. 

At 2.8 pounds, the 13-inch MacBook Air is on par with the Dell XPS 13 (2.7 pounds) and the HP Spectre x360 (2.8 pounds). It's only slightly lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Pro (3 pounds).

Performance-wise, we wish the MacBook Air's CPU had a little more kick. Apple has fitted its machine with a Y-Series Intel Core i5-8210Y CPU. It's great for light/everyday work, but power users will be yearning for more horsepower.

In terms of connectivity, the MacBook Air packs two Thunderbolt 3 ports on its left side, one of which you'll to charge the notebook. There's also a headphone jack so you can listen to music or podcasts via a wired pair of headphones. 

The base model's 128GB SSD is very paltry by today's standards. So we suggest you opt for the 256GB , which is on sale for $1,099.99 ($199 off)
