While you might have your mind on other things today – namely the North American total eclipse – Best Buy has a total bargain (I know, I know) on Apple's best-selling MacBook Air M1. Apple's 13-inch MacBook is on sale for an incredible price of just $699 (was $999.99), which is a $300 discount and a record-low price.

While an older device, the 2020 MacBook Air is still one of the best laptops you can buy, thanks to its top-end performance at an affordable price. The 2020 MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch Retina display and packs Apple's powerful M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU to deliver exceptional speed and power. Perfect for students, the compact laptop weighs just 2.8 pounds, includes Touch-ID, and provides an impressive 18 hours of battery life.

Today's out-of-this-world offer on the MacBook Air isn't just a record-breaking price, it's also an incredible deal for a powerful laptop from Apple. Like today's eclipse, this deal won't be around forever, so you should take advantage now before you enjoy today's show.
