Thats $150 off the $599.99 MSRP Walmart shows, but remember this used to be $999 when Apple officially sold it, so its really a nearly $500 discount from the original price.

You could say that Apple's M1 MacBook Air really started the Apple Silicon revolution. It took the then classic wedge-designed Apple MacBook Air and added the Apple-made M1 chip the first version of Apple Silicon. This delivers much faster performance than Intel machines, requires a lot less active cooling, and seriously stretches battery life.

Sure, compared to newer Apple Silicon machines say, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 this might show its age with more strenuous tasks, but for everyday basics, a modern-era Mac with the M1 chip for $499.99 will certainly fit the bill. If you simply need a Mac for everyday use cases like web browsing, some apps, and even productivity tasks, this is a really exceptional deal. I'd
love to see it with 16GB of RAM, but it is spec'd to 8GB and 256GB of
storage, as it was when Apple originally offered it.

This is one of the best deals of Cyber Monday, and you can still score it at Walmart while the M1 MacBook Air remains in stock at $499.
