Get Instant Loan up to ₹10 Lakh!
Apple's MacBook Air M1 is now getting a massive discount on Vijay Sales which takes the price of the laptop to below ₹70,000. However, with MacBook M2 and Macbook M3 already available in the market, the pertinent question on users' minds is whether to buy the MacBook M1 at a discounted price or opt for its older siblings instead.
The MacBook Air M1 is listed at a price of ₹72,590 during the recent discount on Vijay Sales. However, customers can buy the device at ₹5,000 cheaper by taking advantage of the ₹5,000 instant discount offer on SBI and ICICI Bank cards.
he MacBook Air M1 features a 13.3-inch Retina display with 2560x1600 resolution and is powered by the M1 chipset with 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, which the company claims can "crush everyday tasks while using far less energy". Running on MacOS, the MacBook Air M1 is said to have a long battery life of 18 hours. In terms of design, the MacBook Air M1 has a sleek aluminium finish and weighs just under 1.3kg.
The MacBook Air M1 may not be Apple's latest laptop, but with a price tag of ₹70,000, it's still a very compelling device for users who want a seamless experience while paying extra for the newer M2 and M3 silicon.
For example, the MacBook M2 vanilla variant is priced at ₹91,900 on Vijay Sales; with bank discounts, the effective price goes down to below ₹90,000.
Primarily, the M1 could be a compelling option for students or casual users who want a seamless experience while using their laptop without going overboard on price.
