Walmart Now Selling M1 MacBook Air for $699, Best Buy Offers Even Lower Price
In a surprising turn of events, retail giant Walmart has partnered with Apple to sell Macs for the first time, offering the M1 MacBook Air for $699. This move comes as a direct challenge to Best Buy, who is now selling the same model for an even lower price of $649.
Previously, Walmart relied on third-party partners to sell Macs through its online marketplace. However, customers can now purchase a M1 MacBook Air directly from Walmart for the first time. A Walmart executive emphasized their commitment to offering premium brands at affordable prices, with the new partnership with Apple showcasing this dedication.
Meanwhile, Apple has made some changes to its MacBook Air lineup. They have introduced the M3 MacBook Air, dropped the price of the M2 model, and stopped selling the M1 MacBook Air on their website. The $699 price point for the M1 MacBook Air at Walmart is competitive with Apple’s refurbished price of $759.
The M1 MacBook Air is available on Walmart’s website starting today, with availability in select stores soon. This makes it easier for customers to get their hands on the latest Apple product without having to wait for shipping. It will be interesting to see how this new partnership between Walmart and Apple will impact the market for Mac products in the future.
