Diwali week has arrived, and Apple fans are in for a surprise: the MacBook Air M4 is being offered at a major price cut on Amazon — dipping below the ₹80,000 mark under select offers. This dramatic drop has sparked conversations across tech and gadget communities about whether it’s the best time to grab Apple’s latest ultrabook.
How Low Is the Price?
The MacBook Air M4 launched in India with a starting price of ₹99,900 for the base configuration. Recent deals ahead of festival sales have seen this price trimmed to ₹83,990. With additional bank discounts, exchange offers, and promo codes active during Amazon’s Diwali sale, buyers may be able to push the effective price even further downward — potentially under ₹80,000 in some combinations.
One particularly eye-catching offer listed the 13.6-inch, 16GB / 256GB model at ₹59,990 after applying bank and exchange incentives. While this might not be across all listings or variants, it shows how aggressively retailers are slashing margins to attract buyers.
What Makes This Deal Appealing — and Risky
Pros:
- You’re getting Apple’s latest M4 chip, which brings performance upgrades, better efficiency, and a stronger Neural Engine.
- The MacBook Air remains lightweight, ultra-portable, and capable of handling creative workloads, productivity, and media tasks comfortably.
- Festival season offers typically bundle additional perks like no-cost EMI, instant bank cashback, and trade-in bonuses — all of which can amplify savings.
Caveats:
- Not every variant will fall under ₹80,000. Higher configurations (more RAM, larger SSD) may stay well beyond that threshold even with discounts.
- Some “under ₹80K” offers depend heavily on stacking discounts (bank + exchange + promo). If one component is unavailable (e.g. your bank isn’t eligible), the deal might weaken.
- Stock may be limited, and such offers often vanish quickly during peak sale hours.
Should You Pull the Trigger?
If you’re on the fence and you primarily want the 13.6-inch M4 with 16GB / 256GB setup, this might be your best window to score it below ₹80K. Make sure to check:
- Eligible bank card offers (especially ICICI, SBI, Axis, etc.)
- Exchange value for your old laptop
- Whether stock is limited or variant-specific
If everything lines up, you could end up owning Apple’s new MacBook Air at one of its lowest-ever real-world prices — a perfect Diwali gift for yourself or a loved one.
