After the launch of the Apple MacBook Air M2, the Cupertino giant increased the price of the M1 MacBook from Rs 92,900 to Rs 99,900. This came as a disappointment to those who were looking to buy the laptop as one would usually expect the price would come down after the successor is launched. However, the laptop is now being offered for less than Rs 80,000 on Flipkart and this would be the best time to pull the trigger.
The Apple MacBook Air M1 launched in 2020, introducing a refreshed design with narrow bezels, a 13.3-inch LED-backlit IPS display and 30W charging via the USB Type-C port.
