Some of Apple’s best and most affordable computers have seen impressive discounts for Amazon Prime Day, but the event is now winding down as we are in the final hours, so these deals won’t be available for much longer. TheMacBook AirandMac Mini, both of which are excellent machines for both enthusiasts and entry-level users, are seeing discounts both on Amazon and at other retailers.
These systems all use Apple’s M4 chip, its latest ARM-based processor. These should be more than enough for many people’s everyday tasks.Here are the deals we’re seeing on Apple’s latest Macs:

If you prefer a larger display, the 15-inch Air has a 15.3 screen along with a more powerful speaker system. Otherwise, though, this is largely the same as the 13-inch MacBook Air.

The MacBook Pro with the base M4 chip adds a fan for better sustained performance. You also get a 512GB SSD, a far superior mini LED display, and far more ports than the MacBook Air.
