MacBook Air M4 just dropped to record-low price ahead of Prime Day — save up to $160 now

Tom's Guide20 hours ago
We're gearing up for some major price cuts across our favorite tech during Prime Day, but why wait when the entire MacBook Air M4 lineup is already down to the lowest prices I've seen?
The MacBook Air M4 is now a record-low $150 off at Amazon right now, meaning you can grab one of the best laptops around for less. But that's not all, as you can even get $150 off the M4 Air with 24GB memory and 512GB storage, too. Looking for a bigger screen? Well, the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is also over $160 off!
Whether it's a compact and stylishly portable 13-inch M4 MacBook Air or a satisfyingly sized 15-inch model, there's a discount on all configurations. So, take your pick and get saving!
The latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra $100 off, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. Expect 16GB of unified memory and a 256 SSD in the model, but for more speed and storage, you can get the same discount. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $1,049MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249
One of the best laptops with an even bigger screen? You got it. Boasting a 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display, that's more screen real estate for work, watching shows and even some gaming. Better yet, its more powerful configurations are also discounted, and even $163 off for top-tier performance. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,436
Apple's latest swing at its ultraportable laptop is a triumph, as you'll find in our MacBook Air M4 review. It earned major brownie points with its blistering-fast M4 chip and sharper 12MP webcam. Its design is no different from the earlier MacBook Air M3, and having used that as my main PC for over a year now, I can say these laptops are without a doubt worth the investment.
And now with the M4-equipped MacBook Air getting steep discounts, one of the best laptops is now better than ever. At $849, the 13-inch model hit its all-time-low price, but if you're looking to grab the finest version of the Air without dishing out too much, the 512GB model for $1,049 is the one to pick up. And if you have the budget for the 24GB of unified memory version, expect some incredible performance.
While the higher SSD capacity means you can save more files, media and apps, it also delivers higher read/write speeds, according to our MacBook Air M4 benchmark tests. It's able to handle storage better with faster video transcoding times, as we spotted in our 15-inch MacBook Air M4 (512GB) review.
Speaking of, you can also make great savings on the 15-inch model, which offers a bright, smooth and vivid 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display. That's great for having more space for onscreen windows and apps, along with watching the latest shows on Apple TV and more. Oh, and playing top-rated games like Lies of P, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding and plenty more.
Amazon's big sale event is right around the corner, but these deals on the entire MacBook Air M4 family are already too good to miss. So, if you're looking to beat the Prime Day rush, grab yourself a steal on the best laptop for most.
For even more stellar deals, the best Prime Day laptop deals will point you in the right direction.

Never miss a Prime Day deal — how to set up notifications on your Alexa device

Prime Day 2025 runs from July 8-11, and missing out on flash deals can be frustrating when you're not constantly monitoring Amazon's website. Your Echo device can solve this problem by automatically alerting you when items from your wish lists go on sale. According to Amazon, over half of its customers already use Alexa for shopping assistance, making this feature a natural extension of your existing routine. Setting up deal notifications takes just a few minutes but ensures you'll never miss a discount on products you actually want. The light ring on your Echo speaker or popup notifications on Echo Show displays will alert you to deals up to 24 hours before they start, giving you time to prepare for lightning deals and limited-time offers. Here's how to set up Prime Day deal notifications on your Alexa. Start by creating wish lists for different categories or adding items directly to your Amazon shopping cart. Any product you want deal notifications for must be saved in one of three places: an Amazon Wish List, your Shopping Cart, or the Saved for Later section. Browse Amazon's website or app to find products you're interested in, then add them to the appropriate list without checking out. Organization helps during the busy Prime Day period, so consider creating themed wish lists lto keep track of different categories. Launch the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone, not the regular Amazon shopping app. This distinction matters because you need to access Alexa's specific notification settings rather than general Amazon account preferences. The Alexa app controls all your Echo device settings and is where you'll set up the deal alert system that connects your saved items to your Echo speakers or displays. Tap the More menu at the bottom of the Alexa app screen, then select Settings from the available options. Within the Settings menu, scroll down until you find Notifications and tap on it. This section controls all the different types of alerts your Echo devices can provide, from reminders and timers to shopping notifications and smart home updates. Taking the #1 spot in our Best Budget smart speaker category, the newest Echo Dot provides room-filling sound and built-in sensors that can be used in your Alexa smart home routines. Look for Amazon Shopping in the notifications menu and select it to access shopping-specific alert options. This section allows you to customize exactly what types of shopping notifications you want to receive through your Echo devices. You'll see several toggles for different notification types, but the key setting for Prime Day preparation is the deal recommendations feature. Turn on the Deal Recommendations toggle within the Amazon Shopping notifications section. This setting tells Alexa to monitor your saved items and alert you when any of them go on sale. Once enabled, your Echo devices will automatically check for deals on items in your wish lists, shopping cart, and saved for later queue, then notify you up to 24 hours before Prime Day deals begin. Voted best overall in our smart display guide, Amazon's mid-range smart display blends speedy performance with premium features. It's just the right size to clearly see from across the room but doesn't take up a bunch of space on your desk or counters. When deals become available on your saved items, your Echo device will display a light ring or show a popup notification on Echo Show screens. Simply ask "Alexa, what are my notifications?" and the voice assistant will read out any current deals it has found. You can also ask specific questions like "What are the best deals on headphones right now?" even for items you haven't saved to your lists. And that's it! You've now learned how to set up Prime Day deal notifications on your Alexa. While you're here, take a look at some other useful guides like Prime Day 2025 is coming — these 5 steps guarantee better deals and Amazon is hiding the best Prime Day deals behind invitations — here's how to sign up.

Veteran fund manager makes bold move on Apple, Marvell

Veteran fund manager makes bold move on Apple, Marvell originally appeared on TheStreet. Chris Versace wants to start off the holiday weekend with a blast. The lead portfolio manager for TheStreet Pro Portfolio gave readers an update on chipmaker Marvell Technology () and computer giant Apple () . 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 Versace said Marvell shares moved lower, following a report from The Information that said Microsoft () intends to release its most powerful in-house AI chips in 2028 or beyond as it focuses on chips it can better develop in the interim. The report also suggested Microsoft has pushed back the release of its Maia 200 chipset to 2026 from 2025, he said. "The move lower in MRVL shares reflects that pushout, but while Microsoft is a custom AI silicon partner for Marvell, so too are Amazon () and Meta () , and as we learned at the company's recent event, multiple up-and-coming hyperscalers as well," he said. Marvell hosted a "Custom AI" Investor Event on June 17 in New York where the company boosted its total available market to $94 billion by 2028, up 25% higher than the $75 billion by 2028 it outlined this time last year Following the pronounced run in Marvell shares, Versace said, "the same one that led us to bank some of that big move, we are not surprised that The Information's report dinged Marvell shares."

"While the Portfolio has a full position, if the shares pulled back a bit further to the $70 level, that would fill a modest gap in the chart, and be a nice pick-up point given our $115 target." Marvell is slated to report second quarter results next month. Shares are down 32% this year. Last month, B. Riley raised the firm's price target on Marvell to $115 from $110 and kept a buy rating on the shares following the company's custom AI investor webcast, according to The Fly. The firm said that it believes the update shows a "strong" next-generation AI growth inflection for Marvell. Turning to Apple, Versace noted that the computer giant's shares have been climbing recently, which is likely due to reports the company is weighing the benefits of using AI technology from Anthropic or OpenAI to power its long-awaited upgrade to Siri, rather than leaning on in-house solutions. Apple has had discussions with both companies about using their large language models for Siri, asking them to train versions that could run on Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the discussions. In March, Apple said AI improvements to its voice assistant Siri will be delayed until 2026, without giving a reason for the setback. Apple shook up its executive ranks to get its AI efforts back on track after months of delays, with Mike Rockwell taking charge of Siri, as CEO Tim Cook lost confidence in AI head John Giannandrea's ability to execute on product development, Bloomberg reported at the time. "We will want to see how this plays out, but should Apple decide to use one of those, it would likely accelerate the delivery of a more useful and smarter Siri," Versace said. "That would potentially charge up the iPhone upgrade cycle to newer models, a nice revenue driver for Apple."Apple is scheduled to report third quarter results on July 31 and Versace said that, while the company is normally tight-lipped on its earnings calls, "odds are we will get some questions about this during the Q&A on its June quarter conference call." "We will be listening to see what is said," he said. Separately, Jefferies analyst Edison Lee upgraded Apple to hold from underperform with a price target of $188.32, up from $170.62. Counterpoint reported global iPhone's sales volume in April plus May was up 15% year-over-year, marking the strongest growth since Q3 of 2021. Tariff-driven pull-in demand and share recovery in China could drive June quarter revenue and EPS growth of about 8% and 10%, respectively, which would be roughly 5% and 9%, respectively, greater than consensus and greater than Apple's low-single digit revenue growth guidance, the analyst added while previewing fiscal Q3 results. While the market's benign view on tariffs is "likely overly optimistic," and Apple's service revenue has downside potential, Lee said, good Q3 results "could keep the stock stable" near-term. Meanwhile, Versace is tracking President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill and the July 9 tariff deadline. "While we would like to see some of those uncertainties removed, the details for both will matter," he said. "Once we know them, we'll be better able to plot our moves."Veteran fund manager makes bold move on Apple, Marvell first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
