[Deal Alert] MacBook Air Offered At $799 (200 Off); Entry-Level MacBook Reportedly Coming Soon

Even as the tech world is debating on whether Apple will stop producing the MacBook Air and iPad Air lineups, the gadget hunters who have been keeping eye on the laptop can opt for a less expensive offering.

Shoppers looking for the cheapest prices on 13" MacBook Airs now can save $200 this week with special financing offers. MacMall is also knocking $5 off Apple's new 2017 32GB iPad (Wi-Fi) in Silver. Refurbished iPhone 5s devices (GSM unlocked) are discounted to $99.99 as well, as reported by Apple Insider.

The 13-inch MacBook Air gets an enormous price cut as it is now just $799 at Best Buy. It is a $200 discount from the original price in Apple store. The ultraportable device has 8GB RAM on board coupled with the 128GB memory. In the meantime, Newegg is providing $180 discounts for the 256GB model. With just $1,019 - it is presently the lowest retailer to offer MacBook Air, as per the LaptopMag.

Amazon.com is also starting the week with instant discounts of $200 off two popular 13-inch MacBook Air devices. The base model (MMGF2LL/A) that is now $799.99, sports a 1.6GHz processor, 8GB memory, and 128GB storage.

The upgraded 256GB model (MMGG2LL/A) is also $200 off, bringing the price down to $999.99. Together configurations also qualify for no interest financing for 12 months if paid in full using your Amazon.com Store Card. In addition, Prime members can take advantage of free expedited shipping.

According to Korea Portal, the huge price decrease is not only good news for the laptop hunters but it could also mean that Apple is going to launch an entry-level MacBook this year. Based on the iPad yearly pattern, the tech giant just released the new iPad 2017 to replace its new iPad Air variant. It is safe to assume that Apple will do the same for its MacBook lineup.

It could be the good time for Apple to offer reasonably priced models for tablet and laptop series as the planned move can reach wider consumers. MacBook Air fans have been waiting for an update that was never coming in 2016. This year, the faithful still hope to see a refresh at Apple's Spring event.
